Thread: Why Donate to ALIPAC - A Personal Story

It is easy to post a news article but it is really hard to post a actual event. I am posting this true story for a reason. The reason is that someone recently questioned what ALIPAC did. Why donate to ALIPAC? There was a time when we at ALIPAC were a family. We were there for each other and were quick to respond to Williams request or each other. I watched as a certain element baited and picked fights with members and ALIPAC started changing. I miss the days of stevetheroofer, TexasBorn, etc. But never did I miss ALIPAC and the family here until the following happened to me.

My granddaughter and myself rush into the hospital. We go to the desk and ask to see my grandson, they tell us he is not on their list of patients. We pull up the text from my daughter telling us he has been shot and is in surgery at that hospital. We go back and show it to the hospital and they call security. Security arrives and tell us if he is there and was shot he would be on the no info list. I watch as my granddaughter with tears streaming down her face plead with the officer that she has driven two hours to see her brother, that she cannot find out anything, there is no news coverage, no info from the police, no info from the hospital, just the text from her mom.
I take my granddaughter’s hand and ask where is the waiting room for CIU-Surgeries. The officer smiles and tells me and I tell him we will be there until we see my daughter. As I set in the waiting room the past years flood my thoughts. The fights with my daughter over her lifestyle and choices. The fights over politics and illegal immigration. The point when we stopped fighting and went our separate ways with her living in West Modesto and my refusing to step foot in that area. The time when our only communication became Facebook.
Finally we see my daughter and the years wash away as we all hug. I send my granddaughter in still not knowing if my grandson wants to see me. I know I have to tread lightly and keep my questions in check. All that matters is that he is alive and should recover. I find out that nobody knows why he was shot. He was walking home with three friends when someone came up behind them and said “hey Bitch” and as they turned the person shot my grandson at least five times (It turned out to be seven shots).
The nurse comes out and says my grandson wants his grandmother. I go in and see my grandson riddled with wounds attached to life support machines and he looks at me and mouths “I am sorry I worried you Grandma”. I stand over him putting my fingers through his golden curls wondering who could have done this to my angel, knowing deep down that the fear we all on ALIPAC feel is real.

The difference between ALIPAC and a lot of groups was the personal touch and stories. How many times did I hear our comments repeated on TV. We made a difference they read our stories and our comments. We did not need lobbyist in D.C., they followed us here on our web site. We need to once again become a place where people feel comfortable posting the stories that the main stream media refuses to print because it does not fit their agenda

Thank you for sharing this troubling and personal story. Prayers for you and your family!

So many Americans just do not understand the amount of hatred and anger focused towards them on our own streets.

So many are walking around living in their own cacoon of beliefs encouraged by movies and the media that everything is fine. Everything is not fine. Our nation and the security of our families is all in danger!

Many ALIPACers have have come and gone. Some have passed away or found other interests. Some have had to be removed because they refused to stick to the community rules and guidelines created by our users for everyone's benefit.

The vast majority of ALIPAC participants have no problem with the rules and their stories and news reports for more than 9 years are collected and available here to give any American a clearer picture of what is really happening out there.

It has been a great honor and privelege to serve in this fight for our nation next to so many great patriots. Many of you have been here for many years and I cannot thank you enough for your efforts and companionship on this difficult odyssey.

MontereySherry--I am so sorry to hear that your family had to go through all that! I pray your grandson is healing well, both physically and emotionally.

You have always been such a great part of the ALIPAC family--thank you for sharing your troubles with us. That is as it should be that we can share our troubles with friends, as well as sharing the good things! God Bless and watch over you and your family!

Thank you! I pray that everyone and their families stay safe. I now know that it is up to us to fight harder in our battle. I have seen the fear and denial in the eyes of my daughter as she told me it is no different where she lives then anywhere else. I said nothing, it was not the time, but for the first time I understood why more are not fighting with us. Fear and Denial.

As for my grandson God has a purpose for him. The doctors said he shouldn't be alive. Seven shots, two to the chest just missing his heart, three in the stomach and one hitting a main artery and he walked out of the hospital six days later. I saw or heard no anger or hate from him just his beautiful smile and him saying I love you.

I know it is hard for people to admit to themselves that things just aren't right, be it with illegal immigration, obamacare, or just the way the government abuses its power these days. Once you admit that there is a problem, then you know you have to stand up to it and do something, and that is hard for people to do for many reasons. Often it is fear and denial, or that they're working so hard to make two ends meet that just keep getting farther apart so they don't feel they have the time, or the energy, or the money! Things are so hard these days and this is the way our government wants to keep it so that the People don't have time to fight them!

So thankful to hear that your grandson is doing okay!!!
