WILLIAM GHEEN RESPONSE TO LIES AND ATTACKS FROM JIM GILCHRIST

12*16*07

The folowing is an email sent from William Gheen of ALIPAC to Jim Gilchrist of the Minuteman Project.

Do you really think that attaching someone else's name to this hit piece is going to shield you? Do you really think that casting stones at me or Chris Simcox will distract people from the fact you just endorsed a candidate for President because he is the only one that would even speak with you?

You have abused any trust the people in our movement have ever put in you by endorsing Mike Huckabee, who is under investigation for setting up the Mexican consulate in AK. He lied to the nation about having a degree in Theology. He supports touchback amnesty for illegal aliens, taxpayer benefits for illegal aliens, and Comprehensive Immigration Reform, which our groups fought hard to defeat, while you were sending out hate e-mails, much like the one we just received about others in your group. You have made a fool of yourself by endorsing a man who has called our entire movement racist and nativist.

If you were going to try to take a swipe at ALIPAC, at least get your facts straight.

If it were true that I had a grudge against you since Minuteman started then why would I endorse you and give you money to run for Congress a year later? If I had a grudge against you and the Minuteman Project since the beginning, then how do you explain this picture of us together at Unite to Fight founded by Mark Edwards? Mark Edwards and I have joined with over 70 leaders signing a letter rebuking your endorsement of Mike Huckabee.

Jim Gilchrist (Minuteman Project) and William Gheen (ALIPAC) at Unite to Fight 1, Las Vegas, NV June 2005 "Grudge Since the Beginning?"

All of the written documentation on the ALIPAC.us website contradicts this "grudge since the beginning theory" you want people to believe considering the fact you and Minuteman Project have your own sections on our website.

You are also lying by claiming that we have refused to open our books. The ALIPAC financial records have been a matter of public record for three years now, since the day we were founded on 9/11/2004. It is hard to believe that someone who is an accountant, ran for Congress, and is supposed to be running a non-profit organization would not know this. Any American is welcome to review our reports at http://www.fec.gov/ Our books have always been open, unlike yours. You are the one who had to hire accountants and took over two years to open your books to the nation.

The money did not "dry up" after the launch of your group. In fact, our fundraising continues to set new records each year. In fact, we have raised and spent far less than you have while achieving much more per dollar raised!

I have never made the statement "the savage invasion from the Southern border". A quick search of Google shows ZERO matches. This comment does not exist in the 18 thousand posts I have made online or any of the documented thousands of radio, TV, and newspaper interviews I have conducted.

A quick review of our open records at the Federal Elections Commission will show that I worked for over one year without compensation. Then I made $500 per month for awhile. Currently, I receive $3,500 per month as compensation for working on ALIPAC exclusively for over 60 hours per week. After taxes, this means I make less than $12 per hour, which is beneath the average wage of my home city of Raleigh, NC. This is also far less than the $60,000 per year you were paying your twenty year old press director Tim Beuler.

While I must have some compensation to care for my family, I make less than many fast food workers because I care deeply for this cause and the battle against illegal immigration.

It does not surprise me to see you resort to lies and personal attacks in response to the fact that over 70 leaders of different immigration enforcement organizations have already signed a letter rebuking your endorsement of pro-Amnesty Mike Huckabee. Soon, there will be close to 100 leaders across the nation standing against your improper endorsement of a candidate, which stands against all we have worked for.

The Executive Board leaders of Minuteman Project have come out against you! Co-Founder of the Minutemen, Chris Simcox, has come out against you! Most of the Minuteman Splinter groups have come out against you! Mark Edwards, who gave you his Unite to Fight organization has come out against you! Even Dr. Corsi, who co-authored a book with you, has written an article for World Net Daily that is scathingly critical of your endorsement of Huckabee!

Meanwhile, no groups or leaders in our movement have backed your endorsement. None, ZERO, nada! You just don't get it because your ego and arrogance has consumed you!

Your false claims against ALIPAC are obviously the actions of a desperate man and anyone can easily verify for themselves that your claims are false.

It is no wonder that we find you in the back pocket of a liar like Mike Huckabee and your organization in shambles. The truth is the only thing that can save America and lead to victory for our cause. You have abandoned the truth and now will reap what you have sown.
