Current and former Republican National Committee members are launching a private effort to leverage President Obamas amnesty for illegal immigrants into a campaign to lure independent voters and disgruntled Democrats to the GOP, The Washington Times has learned.
Ironically, the inspiration comes from one of the bluest states in the country, Oregon, where voters recently pushed back against illegal immigration.
The group, acting outside the RNCs formal governing structure and away from the GOPs congressional leadership, has just set up a Stop Executive Amnesty Committee and a similarly named foundation. The committee incorporated under federal tax codes as a nonprofit tax-exempt 501c4, which has slightly more latitude to engage in political advocacy than the Stop Executive Amnesty Foundation, established under the 501c3 section of the federal tax codes.

The committee and the foundation will solicit donations, mount expensive legal constitutional challenges to Mr. Obamas amnesty program and quickly build a grass-roots infrastructure, state by state, to rail against the party of amnesty meaning, of course, the Democratic Party.
We will raise $500,000 to help cover the legal costs of fighting Obamas illegal and unconstitutional action on immigration all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States, said SEAC Chairman Randy Pullen, the former chairman of the Arizona GOP.
What difference will SEAC and its sister foundation make in the political landscape?

As national GOP officials, we need to demonstrate that we will not only stand up to President Obamas lawlessly usurping congressional power, but also fight for the jobs of legal immigrants, resident foreign nationals and disgruntled independents and Democrats, said SEAC Vice Chairman Solomon Yue, an Oregon Republican National Committee member.
Obamas amnesty will serve as a magnet to bring another 20 million illegal aliens to America and to take jobs away from Americans and legal residents, said Mr. Yue, who is also the founder and chief executive officer of Republicans Overseas.
