The recent cave in by Speaker Boehner in funding Obama's amnesty executive order has brought attention to a PAC that calls itself the ''American Action Network'' and claims to be ''center right''. The PAC is headed by moderate liberal former GOP establishment US Senator Norm Coleman and run by a board consisting of close allies of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. It had been involved in the GOP primary in NC's 7th Congressional District last year, where it ran some particularly nasty and dishonest attack ads against the more conservative primary candidate, former State Senator Woody White.
With Boehner's cave in to Obama on amnesty funding, the American Action Network went into action to attack conservatives who refused to go along with Boehner's cave in and to protect those Republicans who voted for Boehner's cave-in. The AAN ran an advertising campaign against the conservatives and their campaign parroted the Obama talking points on the subject, claiming the conservatives were undermining national security by standing up to Obama on amnesty. This supposedly Republican and center-right group was using the Democrats' arguments to attack conservative Republicans. They then turned around and used those same Democrat arguments again to run an advertising campaign praising a number of GOP Congressmen whose vote to fund the Obama amnesty may give them some primary trouble. AAN praised them for allegedly voting for strong national security when they voted to fund the Obama amnesty. North Carolina's 2nd district Congresswoman Renee Ellmers and 9th district Congressman Robert Pittenger were among the beneficiaries of that advertising campaign.

Anything with the word “Tea Party” in their name is suspect.
Norm Coleman and Vin Weber have been on the payroll of the Cheap Labor Express since they left office.
And Rene Elmers should be primaried out. Along with a few dozen others.....

David Rouzer is a conservative inspite of what you’ve heard.
Read one of the Newsmax people gave money to Clinton
Don’t know who the author of this is, but I live in New Hanover County (Wilmington) and know for a fact Woody White (who I respect as our former County Commissioner’s President)-was supported by the “establishment” good-ole-boys network of the local Republican Party, where Rouzer was supported by the more conservative wing here (to be fair conservatives were on both sides), just saying...
The GOPe and Dems are sympatico
> Anything with the word “Tea Party” in their name is suspect.
I know this for a fact. I had a genuine Tea Party call me in March or April last year who showed me a Facebook page setup just a few weeks before an election. They pretended to be conservatives and had. Tea Party Facebook page set up that were all pushing RINO candidates. We did a little checking and it turned out to be bogus and setup by liberals.
Litmus test applies; watch what they do, not what they say.
It’s hard to trust anyone nowadays.
A couple of days ago I received an email from the “American Action Network”.
I looked over the email pretty good. Couldn’t see any person’s name, location, etc.
So, I just pressed the “unsubscribe” button.
Have not received any more emails.

Absolutely! I’ve limited my small contributions to True-the-Vote and Judicial Watch. I trust these two organizations completely.
And as for candidates, I contribute directly to candidates I know to be true constitutional conservatives. I also contribute to the Senate Conservatives Fund, which is honest.
Like Evangelicals for Mitt...
The Senate Conservative Fund has already been on the war path against AAN.

After what tea party groups did to Matt Bevin, I don’t support any group.
All part of obammy's plan.
