ALIPAC: Following the Money Trail to Gheen’s Pockets

But we have managed to find common ground recently, especially where the White Pride group, ALIPAC (short for Against Latino Immigration Political Action Committee) is concerned.

Here is what Gilchrist had to say about William Gheen, the founder of ALIPAC:

William Gheen, I firmly believe, has no interest whatsoever in encouraging the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws. ALIPAC is a fund raising company whose goal is to raise money off the latest frenzied trend…in this case, the immigration chaos. If there was more money to be made by supporting the pro-illegal alien invasion lobbyists, then he would probably be on that side of the argument…let the country be damned.

Gilchrist is not innocent either given he has supported child-killer Shawna Forde and personally fundraises for himself as well, without any action to show for it. But his attacks on Gheen are not without merit. You see, we have evidence from FEC filings that ALIPAC is simply an excuse for the delusional hate-mongering William Gheen to not go out and get a real job like a real American.

After whining and threatening to finally shut down his illegal activities throughout the month of November if he was not able to raise $25,000, Gheen finally reached his fundraising goal. FEC filings for 2010 show $57,870 in receipt and $56,387 in expenditure. Given ALIPAC is a PAC after all, how much did it spend on helping anti-immigrant candidates? A huge amount totaling $250. Gheen paid himself $19,218, spent $8,894 on a corporate payroll service, $3,007 on his treasurer and $2,800 on his media person. The rest of the expenses include payments for cable television, flights, and hotel rooms. Damn, maybe I should switch sides and swindle our supporters too.

His FEC filings for next year would be quite interesting. It is just too bad that his retired home-making donors are actually naive and stupid enough to actually give their hard-earned money (or rather, our social security taxes) to support Gheen’s extragavant lifetsyle. They would be better off forming their own PAC or donating to enforcement-only candidates directly. I almost feel sorry for them.
