With illegal immigration as a top issue in the 2008 campaigns and the possibility of a pro-Amnesty candidate such as John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, or Mike Huckabee winning the GOP primary, forcing American voters to choose between two pro-Amnesty candidates, a Draft Lou Dobbs for President campaign is being launched today by Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee (ALIPAC) found at www.LouDobbsforPresident.org

"Ninety percent of our supporters are behind either Romney, Thompson, Paul, or Hunter for President because they appear truly opposed to Amnesty for illegal aliens," says William Gheen of ALIPAC. "Eighty four percent of our supporters say they would support Lou Dobbs for President, if the GOP primary fails to yield a candidate opposed to Amnesty."

Lou Dobbs has earned national recognition for his tough stance on Border Security and curbing illegal immigration. While encouraging voters to register as independents, Dobbs addresses a host of issues dealing with the economy, trade agreements, election integrity, and America's middle class that would appeal to Democrats, Republicans, and Independent voters alike.

The Wall Street Journal reported on January 7 that many people are dropping Lou Dobbs' name as a potential candidate and that he is a self-styled "independent populist" who is reluctant to run, but responds to such suggestions with "I cannot say never"

"Lou Dobbs could run and win because he could easily raise the funds and grassroots support he needs to be a historic and viable candidate quickly. The public is eager to rebuke the DC status quo and would quickly rally to Dobbs," says Gheen. "Our website is designed to allow people to express their political support for Lou Dobbs, to show Mr. Dobbs what kind of support is out there, and to have some supporters organized, if he decides to run."

The website located at www.LouDobbsforPresident.org has information about Lou Dobbs, a speculative platform, videos, and allows people to register as volunteers and potential contributors to a Lou Dobbs for President Campaign.

In the event Lou Dobbs files for office, the website and supporter information will be presented to Mr. Dobbs as a campaign contribution by ALIPAC. Until that time, all information collected will be held in strict confidence.

ALIPAC is one of the largest organizations in America fighting for secure borders and immigration enforcement, while fighting against Amnesty and illegal immigration. Founded on 9/11 in 2004, ALIPAC supporters are active in all 50 states and represent Americans of every race, party, and many walks of life, which indicates a desire for more to be done about illegal immigration.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF LOU DOBBS FOR PRESIDENT. HE IS TRULY AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. HE IS NOT A POLITICIAN....HE IS A PATRIOT.

ONE OTHER POINT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE.....DONT FORGET THAT DOBBS WIFE IS MEXICAN. BECAUSE OF THIS I BELIEVE HE WOULD STAMP OUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND AT THE SAME TIME GUARD AGAINST DISCRIMINATION AGAINST LEGAL RESIDENTS AND CITIZENS WHO ARE OF HISPANIC DECENT. BUT HE WOULD NOT PROTECT THEM BY DISCRIMINATING AGAINST NON-HISPANIC CITIZENS.

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

I would vote for Lou in a heartbeat. I'm reading his new book INDEPENDENTS DAY. As I read it all I find myself saying is.....This man needs to be President.

Lou Dobbs is my candidate of choice... let's NOT take no for an answer!!!!

Let's lift him up and rally him on to be our next president!!!!

We need you LOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Lou is my first choice. I hope he will consider running. The web site is GREAT. I looked at it this morning and again this afternoon. I couldn't believe how many people had signed up to donate and signed the guest book. I hope the word goes out far and wide. You probably already know this William, but there is another site for Lou. Maybe we could join forces! Congratulations!!!

I'm a Ron Paul supporter because, he's a Constitutionalist and not owned by the false left-right control grid of the ruling elite. however, I will also support Lou Dobbs!

We need other voices heard to combat the treasonous lying shills that only speak for the Pentagon and the Zionist controlled media.

Lou Dobbs, has a powerful platform to speak from and I hope he will make every effort to expose all of the vote fraud that is happening!

I say, GO FOR IT LOU, and raise hell !!!

Welcome aboard Diamondman007! Glad to have your support.

i'll be voting for ron paul since texas only gives us 2 choices, democrat or republican. but, if he doesn't win, i'll go knocking on doors for dobbs. i, too, like the constitution platform of ron paul. a smaller federal government would tickle me to death. with more power in the state governments' hands, if you don't like the laws in one state, you could move to another that's more to your liking and still live in the good old u.s. of a..

I didn't even know who Lou Dobbs was 9-10 months ago as I always assumed that CNN was bunch of libs with slanted/biased reporting...like Rick Sanchez, enough said!?
Well, I sure was wrong. I was wearing my ALIPAC shirt at work one day in the lunch room, complaining as usual about illegal's and general dismantling of the US as we know it with what seems to me to be more a country filled with a bunch of selfish "me general" folks who stand for nothing, have no passion for out country, values, a country created on the premise of GOD and it's citizens having real representation, rather than big business and special interest groups/lobbyist and professional career politicians running the country...I digressed...and a co-worker mentioned the Lou Dobbs show. Well, I stopped watching all the other crap on the boob tube and every night anxiously sit down for Lou's show (like a football fan waits for the super bowl game).
He is for the middle class, his book INDEPENDENTS DAY and does care about this country and and to see a candidate who was actually elected BY THE PEOPLE and not this "political system" where the media elects candidates.
Would be nice to have REAL Law and Order in the country again!!!

I also hear that Illegal Immigration is down to the 4th most important presidential issue at 10%
Maybe this will help being Illegal Immigration and COMMON SENSE to the forefront again and to have our laws SIMPLY ENFORCED again!!
(1 more thing... George W Bush...you are a disgrace, a major disappointment and I'm ashamed to say I ever voted for you. Thanks to you, the Democrats may take control because they want CHANGE, so we would be even worse off, thanks to you abysmal record of big spending,
lack of border enforcement and being in bed with big business and in bed with ex-Mexican president Fox.

Go LOU!!!!
