Survey Questions

(Please describe your feelings on the following with a number 1-10 or
with the response Undecided (1=Strongly Disagree, 2-4=Disagree,

I believe illegal immigration can be reversed if we enforce our existing
laws? (1-10) 8

As a member of Congress I will use the full force of my office to ensure
the Executive Branch starts to enforce our existing immigration laws?
(1-10) 10

Illegal Immigrants should be deported when detected in the interior of
the US? (1-10) 10

Law abiding and legal American citizens should be required to accept
biometric identification? (1-10) 1

I believe that local and state police should assist with immigration
enforcement? (1-10) 10

Federal taxpayer funding to groups that support illegal immigration like
La Raza should be stopped. (1-10) 10

I support "Comprehensive immigration reform" that would allow illegal
aliens currently in the US to stay without fear of deportation as guest
or temporary workers? (1-10) 3

Illegal aliens should be allowed to leave the US and return quickly on a
fast track as guest or temporary workers? (1-10) 3

Banks should be allowed to continue giving taxpayer backed home
mortgages to illegal aliens? (1-10) 1

Executive Branch orders to US Border Patrol to only "Catch and Release"
illegal aliens at the border and not to speak to the media or Members of
Congress should be rescinded? (1-10) 10 - Absolute treason

Congress should investigate why the Executive Branch of the United
States is not enforcing our existing immigration laws, why all fines
against employers had ceased by 2004, and why some actions of the
Executive branch appear to be more in the interest of drug and human
smugglers than the American public? (1-10) 1 - Let me tell you why I
disagree - Because I already no the reason why. Abort our own and
import cheap labor. Destroy the unions and real wage growth and bring
in slaves. Its about the bottom line and both damn parties are playing
the same game. The conflict makes people think they are opposed to one
another yet nothing get done! What is to investigate!

Short Answer

Has your campaign addressed the topic of illegal immigration in
speeches, commercials, ads, or campaign materials? What are those
messages? (Please provide sources or examples) Yes, yes to all if we had
the financial support, if we had party support, but this isn't going to
happen when your own party leaders put only lip-service to your concerns
and they see you are serious about enforcement. My message has been -
end the bureaucracy, don't process border crossers, turn them around at
the river/wall, and start fining employers! Etc.



What do you feel your opponent's stance on illegal immigration or
immigration reform is or would be? He is an open borders person.
Sovereignty is meaningless to my opponent.



Have you been endorsed by or received contributions from any other
immigration reform or illegal immigration reduction groups at this time?
No.

Would you openly accept an endorsement and or contribution from ALIPAC?
Naturally.



Please use the remainder of this space to share any further opinions on
these issues. (optional)



My rant on Congress above sums up my disgust.

Candidate Pledge

I, __Richard Noah Hough__________________, hereby pledge to stand with
the American public to have the US Border secured and existing
immigration laws enforced with the intention of reducing the number of
illegal aliens entering and remaining in the US. I understand that the
vast majority of Americans want the border secured, taxpayer benefits
for illegal aliens ended, local police helping to enforce immigration
laws, and employers that hire, aid, and abet illegal aliens to be
charged.

Furthermore, I will not support any trade agreement or Executive Branch
treaty that compromises our ability to enforce our existing immigration
laws and threatens US sovereignty.

I will actively oppose any attempt to remove or replace the current laws
that say illegal aliens are to be deported with a guest worker or
temporary worker program that allows illegal aliens to stay or quickly
return to the US.

Signed,

ALIPAC Endorses Richard 'Noah' Hough for Congress

October 31, 2006
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC)
(866) 329-3999 or WilliamG@alipac.us

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is pleased to offer our endorsement to the Richard 'Noah' Hough for Congress Campaign because Richard 'Noah' Hough wants our borders secured, our existing immigration laws enforced, and illegal aliens to leave the United States of America.

"Over 80% of the voters consistently indicate they want our border secured and our existing immigration laws enforced," says William Gheen of ALIPAC. "While some lawmakers in Washington want to change our existing laws and allow illegal aliens to stay in our nation, Richard 'Noah' Hough will oppose any Guest Worker or Temporary Worker Program that would allow illegals to stay. Richard 'Noah' Hough wants illegal aliens to go back to their homes in the nations they are citizens of."

Illegal immigration has become a top issue in the 2006 campaigns. There are currently 12-22 million illegal aliens in America. Most Americans are aware that this problem has been created by the non enforcement and minimal enforcement of our existing immigration laws. According to surveys of US Border Patrol agents, illegal crossings have increased as some US lawmakers have called for amnesty disguised as a Guest Worker or Temporary Worker Program.

"It is common sense that for any law to be a deterrent, the penalties must be greater than the rewards." says William Gheen. "Illegal aliens can never reimburse us for what they have taken and therefore must return home. Can you imagine what America would be like if bank robbers only had to return a portion of the money when caught for robbing banks?"

Americans are being told by some politicians such as John McCain and Edward Kennedy that they must accept a Guest Worker Program because "We cannot deport 12 million people."

Americans do not have to deport 12 million people. Enforcement of our existing laws by fining employers, securing the border, empowering local police, and removing taxpayer benefits for illegal aliens will cause millions of illegals to leave on their own. Currently, illegal aliens are leaving the state of Georgia and parts of Pennsylvania due to local efforts to enforce the law in those areas. (See 'How To Reverse Illegal Immigration' at www.alipac.us)

Americans for Legal Immigration is a one of the largest national organizations fighting illegal immigration. ALIPAC is a multi-ethnic organization that enjoys the support of many LEGAL immigrants. Supporters are organized in all 50 states. For more information, please visit www.alipac.us
