Friends of ALIPAC,
The illegal aliens and their supporters are marching on my home stateof North Carolina. They have planned a series of events moving acrossthe state to try and shutdown the 287(g) program. ALIPAC has played astrong roll in getting this program in motion across NC and the nation.
As many of you know, the 287(g) program helps local policedetermine the immigration status of suspects they arrest for crimes.This program saves innocent American lives, property, tax resources,and alleviates pressures on schools, jails, and hospitals because theillegal aliens with broader criminal involvement leave areas using287(g). Many polls, such as the Zogby poll from April 2005, tell usthat over 81% of Americans support local police enforcing immigrationlaws.
We have chosen to make our stand against them this Wednesday, April8, 2009 in Graham, NC, which is in Alamance County. Alamance County isone of our political strongholds and the illegals and their handlersare coming to make false accusations against Sheriff Terry Johnson whohas bravely taken the lead with the 287(g) program in North Carolina.I am personally attending this event and I need as many of you atmy side as possible. Our allies in NC Voice and NC Listen have allactivated their e-mail lists and have secured the permits for ourevent. At the latest check, the illegal alien supporting groups have nopermits.
The Graham police will be on hand and the Alamance County Sheriff’sDepartment is ready to assist them if needed. Our side is alwayspeaceful and law abiding at these events and we hope the illegals willbehave themselves. Alamance County is very different from Los Angelesand they would be well advised not to practice some of their moreaggressive tactics that have been widely documented.
We will assemble between 2pm and 5pm on the 100 block of SouthMaple Street in Graham, North Carolina, in order to reflect thecommunity’s appreciation for their efforts in upholding the rule oflaw.
Here is a link to a map of our location.

We will take up position just outside of the offices of Sheriff TerryJohnson and hope to be standing between his facilities and the illegalaliens and their supporters.
We estimate that the illegal alien supporters may muster between100-200 strong, but now that they have recently become aware of ourcounter moves they may try to strengthen their numbers and pull more infrom the Durham area.
Our event is open to Americans of every race and political partythat represents the 81% of our citizens that support our police,immigration enforcement, the rule of law, and the 287(g) program.
All materials and signs brought to our side of the line must becleared by the leadership of NC Voice, prior to display or circulation.Any groups, individuals, or materials not representative of ourpeaceful and multiracial* political efforts will be removed from thearea in which we hold the permits for.
We are aware of how tough it is for our supporters to attend things like this, especially short notice due to work and family.
However, we must make a strong stand on Wednesday and we need youto make sacrifices, do what it takes to be there and bring as manyothers as possible.
ALIPAC has stood side by side with others around the nation, when it was their turn to defend their police and communities.
Now the illegals are marching on my home state, with a confidentpolitical swagger, in the hopes of reversing the pro-enforcementprogress we have made in North Carolina over the last few years.
If you absolutely cannot attend this event, try to get others youknow in the area to go. You can also help from anywhere in the nationon Wednesday morning, by lighting up the phone lines and e-mail boxesat the NC General Assembly and ask lawmakers to support the 287(g)program via www.ncleg.net
We have recently won major political battles in Arkansas, Colorado, andNew Jersey and now we need to defend our progress in North Carolina, bygetting every man and woman to our side in Graham this Wednesday, April8!
I look forward to seeing many of you soon.
Sincerely,
William Gheen
