ALIPAC Calls for a Primary Challenger for Speaker Paul Ryan

Raleigh, NC, USA (October 30, 2015) — Contact: ALIPAC | (866) 703-0864 | WilliamG@alipac.us

Responding to the news that Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) has been elected as the new Speaker of the House replacing John Boehner, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is calling for a GOP primary challenger to remove Ryan from office in 2016 in the same way that Eric Cantor lost his seat for supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Republican lawmakers elected Ryan as Speaker despite a massive outcry from their constituents that lit up DC phone lines and social media against Paul Ryan because Ryan supports immigration reform amnesty and actually voted to fund Obama’s illegal, unconstitutional, and unpopular amnesty orders.

Rep. Ryan’s vote to support Obama’s amnesty orders, which 26 states are suing to stop, earned him a position on ALIPAC’s “Cantor List,” which contains the names of Republican lawmakers who are documented as supporting amnesty for illegals as Eric Cantor did. Cantor was defeated in a landslide by challenger Dave Brat despite the fact that Cantor outspent Brat 40 to 1.

“Everywhere you could see on social media and in online forums, conservatives were screaming at the top of their lungs for GOP lawmakers not to nominate another Obama protecting and facilitating, illegal alien amnesty supporting, Chamber of Commerce puppet like Paul Ryan and John Boehner!” said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. “Paul Ryan needs to be thrown out of office like Eric Cantor! We need a strong GOP challenger who opposes amnesty for illegals and Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty orders to file for office against Paul Ryan. That candidate could then give a voice to all of the Americans who told these lawmakers not to elect Ryan. There is clearly a large degree of national support for a true conservative to run against Paul Ryan in 2016.”

ALIPAC hopes that other grassroots conservative organizations will join the call for a strong and qualified GOP challenger to announce against Paul Ryan and the other constituent betraying lawmakers on The Cantor List (click to view). While some profiles are not yet complete, most of the names on the Cantor List have their own “amnesty support profile” which quickly provides information and sources to voters and campaigns alike proving the lawmaker’s support for amnesty.

Polling data shows that a super majority of GOP voters oppose immigration reform amnesty for illegals, despite the fact that pro amnesty groups like Fox News and the Associated Press have paid for designer polls that fictitiously claim most Americans favor amnesty instead. The true polling data is reflected in Donald Trump’s meteoric rise to his double digit first place position in the GOP Presidential primary by bringing attention to illegal alien crimes and promising to deport all illegal immigrants as current US laws ratified by Congress require.

“Any GOP primary challenger in America can quickly and inexpensively take the lead against amnesty supporting RINOs like Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Chaffetz, and Paul Ryan by promising to deport all illegals just like Donald Trump!” said William Gheen. “The true polling data and these astounding elections examples show that Americans are fighting mad about illegal immigration and immigration reform amnesty supporting members of Congress. We are going to do all in our power to see more corrupt DC politicians like Paul Ryan thrown out of office in 2016.”

The US Chamber of Commerce has vowed to deploy more than 100 million dollars to defeat members of Congress in 2016 who have stood up against and stopped amnesty legislation such as Marco Rubio’s S. 744. Many of the Chamber’s targets are found on ALIPAC’s endorsement list. (click to view)

Behind-the-scenes with Edgar Perez: The 11th-Hour Deal to End the Government Shutdown of October 2013

Edgar Perez, Celebrated Book Author of The Speed Traders and Knightmare on Wall Street, Presents The 11th-Hour Deal, Behind Washington’s Closed-doors During the 16-day Government Shutdown of October 2013.

New York City, NY, USA (November 18, 2013) — Edgar Perez, the celebrated author of The Speed Traders, An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, and Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, is presenting his newest book, The 11th-Hour Deal, Behind Washington’s Closed-doors During the 16-day Government Shutdown of October 2013 (http://www.The11thHourDeal.com), the behind-the-scenes story of the dramatic days between October 1st and 16th. The 11th-Hour Deal, to be released on February 7, 2014, will provide a comprehensive day-by-day account of what happened behind closed doors in Washington when the political class negotiated in fits and starts reopening of the government and raising the debt ceiling to ultimately arrive to an agreement at the 11th-hour.

On October 17, 2013, just minutes into the day, President Barack Obama signed the bill that ended a 16-day partial government shutdown and raised the debt ceiling, after weeks of negotiations that gave way to a frenzied Wednesday night in Washington as Congress finally passed the bill that would prevent the country from crashing into the debt ceiling. Members of both the Senate and House of Representatives had worked dangerously close to the midnight debt ceiling deadline amid warnings the government of the United States of America could run out of money to pay its bills if Congress didn’t raise the debt ceiling.

The Republican-led House had given the final stamp of approval voting 285 to 144 for the bill brokered by the Democratic-led Senate, which had voted on Wednesday evening, 81 to 18. The proposal had been hammered out by the chamber’s Republican and Democratic leaders after continued resolutions approved by the House that defunded Obamacare, President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare initiative, went nowhere. The debt cushion was extended through February 7, with current spending levels being authorized through January 15.

The 16 days of the partial government shutdown had come at a steep cost. Standard and Poor’s estimated it took $24 billion out of the economy; Fitch Ratings had put the U.S. AAA credit rating on watch for a potential downgrade. The possibility of a debt default spooked investors on Wall Street and hiked interest rates. Furthermore, it impacted American’s top-notch financial and business global preeminence; China, America’s largest foreign debt holder with $1.28 trillion of U.S. bonds, was already calling for considering building a de-Americanized world.
