Thank you for posting this number. I also called it and was routed to voicemail for Miguel. I did leave a message.

I understand that ALIPAC confirmed it, but we not only wanted to confirm it but to complain about it as well. We wanted to make certain, because a local Clear Channel Station in my area, (one of the DJ's) thought that perhaps the photo was a hoax. I provided him with the url to this thread, gave him William's email address and gave him the phone numbers to the station. So far, I haven’t gotten a response. I will try to bring it up live on air.

Complaining is good! Nope, not a hoax. The numbers in the photo in the lower right corner edge of the billboard identify it as belonging to Clear Channel .. who admits to owning the billboard.

Ok after doing some research I have found the following info for KRCA who put up this billboard. We need to call these people and complain directly to LENARD D. LIBERMAN whos is the EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
of the station. Here is the info. I am wondering if it might be a violation of their FCC license to have insinuated that they are actually operating in Mexico where they do not have a license to operate.

I've seen two of these billboards. One on Van Buren Blvd. in Woodcrest (Riverside County) and another on 1st St. just east of Faiview in Santa Ana (Orange County). They had me boiling mad. I'm ready to join a local Minute Man group in San Diego.

OK I figured it out. I contacted the FCC first and they said there was nothing they could do but the lady said I should contact the FTC as it did sound like "false advertising". I also called the station but got the run around. It will take outside pressure to get them to to take these signs down and that is our goal. I called the FTC and filed a formal complaint it took all of 10 minutes. Now if we can all take 10 minutes out of our day over the next week we can file enough complaints with the FTC that they will take action.

Heres what you do

call 877-382-4357 this is the FTC. You will need to keep pressing numbers until you run out of menu options I think the last number is going to be a 5 then you will get transferred to an aperator. Tell the operator you want to report a case of false advertising. Then give the operator all the following information. Be sure to state the company name as WILEY REIN & FIELDING LLP as KRCA are just the call letters of the station.

If we all do this I bet we can have these signs down within the next month or so.

Hello MrCapra,

WELCOME to ALIPAC! This is turning into quite a story, isn't it?

Are the billboards you've seen identical to the one pictured here? If not, could you get a photo and send it to us?

Thanks for the heads up.

We have a lot of ralliers in our organization out in the Hemet/Temecula area, as well as the Inland Empire in general.

If you are truly interested in getting involved in this movement, you are more than welcome to join us at our rallies/protests that we usually have at least once a month in Southern California.

I think a better analogy, IMO, would be labeling New York, NY as New York, Iraq.

Los Angeles is under attack by illegal Mexican immigrants. Declaring it a part of Mexico is a slap-in-the-face to all Americans.

Thanks for the welcome, Charlesoakisland.

Lou Dobbs just cover the billboard on his show.
