The opposition to Mike Huckabee's touchback amnesty plan and endorsement of lone Minuteman Jim Gilchrist by 84 immigration enforcement organizations is taking a toll on the Huckabee campaign's polling numbers while radio ads, phone banks, talk radio shows, and bloggers against
illegal immigration spread news of his true stance and immigration record.
"It's a race against time," says William Gheen of ALIPAC. "The more GOP voters know about Huckster's touchback amnesty and his past support for illegal aliens, the more his numbers drop!"
Huckabee's strong lead in Iowa has evaporated now that his campaign is facing scrutiny on many issues, with illegal immigration registering as a top issue with Iowa voters. A week ago, ALIPAC and 84 organizations launched efforts to make Huckabee's record on
illegal immigration known.
"You can't win the GOP nomination, if you are wrong on immigration like McCain," says Gheen. "Voters turned to Huckabee after analyzing McCain and Giuliani and found their support for
illegal immigration disturbing. We are calling on the GOP voters in Iowa and New Hampshire to deliver a candidate who will give voters a choice against AMNESTY."
Currently, all Democratic candidates support amnesty for illegal aliens, which is unpopular with a super majority of American voters. ALIPAC has identified three GOP campaigns as pro-amnesty... McCain, Giuliani, and Huckabee. While Romney, Paul, Hunter, and Thompson remain on the no-amnesty list at this time, their campaigns face future scrutiny on the illegal immigration issue.
To assure that Iowa voters know about Huckabee's touchback amnesty stance, prior support for amnesty legislation in the Senate (Comprehensive Immigration Reform), and support for Mexican consulates and in-state tuition for illegals in Arkansas, ALIPAC is attempting to contact 43,000 likely GOP voter households by phone, radio ads, talk radio interviews, and hundreds of online activists who are targeting over 300 websites in Iowa to spread the news. William Gheen of ALIPAC, Peter Gadiel of 9/11 Families for a Secure America, and Dan Smeriglio of Voice of the People just completed a ground effort in Iowa to spread the word about the 84 organizations opposing Huckabee.
