Conservative Group To Launch Ad Supporting Senate Immigration Bill

By Lisa Mascaro July 7, 2013 WASHINGTON -- As an overhaul of immigration laws shifts to the House, a right-leaning group is launching a new television ad campaign Monday that will call on House lawmakers -- and, implicitly, resistant Republicans -- to support the Senate-passed “border surge” as part of “conservative immigration reform."
The ad seeks to influence rank-and-file lawmakers as House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) convenes Republicans behind closed doors to assess how the GOP majority will respond to the bipartisan Senate bill.
Many House Republicans oppose the legislation because it includes a 13-year citizenship path for immigrants here without legal status. But influential party leaders think other rank-and-file lawmakers may be interested in a compromise that could help the party’s outreach to the growing Latino electorate.

Uhm..NO
Went to this “conservative group’s” website. I really didn’t see anything to convince me that they are conservative as we know it. Rubio fans.
If it supports the immigration bill it isn’t conservative, it’s a liberal group.
How long have they existed?
Oh please, another flat out lie.
Yeah? Another Mark Zuckerberg fakeout, front group?
They want open borders and they don’t care how many lies they have to tell to get them.
These people are beyond despicable.
Blatant propaganda.
More lying propaganda ads during Rush, Hannity, Levin et al by Mr Facebook.
Nope. Even Worse....KARL ROVE!
Launched in February 2010, American Action Network is a conservative 501(c)(4) group chaired by Norm Coleman, a Republican former senator from Minnesota. The group reported spending more than $18.9 million in the 2010 congressional elections, targeting dozens of Democratic House and Senate candidates. Because it is a 501(c)(4), it is not required to release the names of its donors. American Action shares office space with Crossroads GPS/American Crossroads, one of the largest outside spending networks, which has ties to GOP operative Karl Rove. As a nonprofit organization, it does not disclose the donors to its outside spending efforts.

Is this the same Mark Zuckerberg funded head-fake “conservative” group that is running pro-senate bill radio ads here in the land of FR? (Central CA)
Don’t give Zuckerberg too much credit. His story is as phony as the “conservative” front group.
Pretty much everything we’re fed is a carefully crafted illusion. Otherwise known as a lie.
That is a powerful poster. Wow!
“Conservative” group?
Just another lie from the LAT propaganda machine.
GOPe. Worse than democraps.
That thing is not conservative.
