ALIPAC is condemning congressional candidate David Rouzer's support for Amnesty for illegal aliens! He finally admitted to this during a public debate on WECT TV on April 4.

Raleigh, NC, USA (April 5, 2012) -- ALIPAC is condemning congressional candidate David Rouzer's support for Amnesty for illegal aliens! He finally admitted to this during a public debate on WECT TV on April 4.

"I lobbied for Amnesty. I worked for a solution," said David Rouzer 12 minutes and 15 seconds into the video debate.

"David Rouzer's support for Amnesty for illegal aliens may endear him to some of the unscrupulous big business interests that do not want to obey our existing guest worker and immigration laws," said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "However, his support for Amnesty puts him at odds with over 80% of the voters in North Carolina's 7th Congressional District who are paying the price of illegal immigration through lost jobs, depreciated wages, stolen taxpayer resources, and preventable crimes."

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC has endorsed David Rouzer's opponent Ilario Pantano due to Pantano's support for adequate enforcement of America's existing border and immigration laws.

Ilario Pantano has made fighting illegal immigration a top issue in his campaign. He has vowed he will oppose any form of Amnesty for illegal immigrants that would allow them to stay in the United States.

Ilario Pantano has attended recent immigration hearings conducted by the NC General Assembly. His opponent David Rouzer has not attended these meetings even though he serves as a state legislator.

"The voters of North Carolina have a clear choice between Ilario Pantano, who will work to deter illegal immigration, and David Rouzer, who is now on the record supporting Amnesty which will only encourage more illegal immigration to our nation and communities," said William Gheen. "Now that David Rouzer has abandoned his earlier denials and admitted his support for Amnesty our job is to make sure every voter knows about his unpopular stance."

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC plans to raise funds to conduct an automated call to GOP voter households in District 7 warning voters that David Rouzer supported Agjobs Amnesty for illegal aliens in the past and has reaffirmed his support for Amnesty during the recent debate on WECT.

FPL offers Snowbirds ways to save Energy While Away

FPL's energy efficiency blogger, Danielle Mousseau, recognizes the opportunity to help seasonal residents. "We've noticed that seasonal residents have been very active on our blog, asking questions on ways they can save and how they can prevent mold while they're away for the summer," says Mousseau.

Juno Beach, FL (April 5, 2012) -- Rising temperatures in Florida mark the time of year when seasonal residents begin preparing to close their homes for the summer. These snowbirds face unique challenges in preparing their homes, and Florida Power & Light (FPL) wants to help seasonal residents in its service territory face challenges like mold prevention and storm preparation, and help them save on their electric bills, too.

Although the number of seasonal residents varies, FPL estimates that there are about 400,000 seasonal residents its service territory.

FPL's energy efficiency blogger, Danielle Mousseau, recognizes the opportunity to help seasonal residents. "We've noticed that seasonal residents have been very active on our blog, asking questions on ways they can save and how they can prevent mold while they're away for the summer," says Mousseau. “To help meet their needs, we developed a comprehensive checklist that they can use to help them save energy and money as well as prevent mold when their home is vacant.”

Like all FPL customers, seasonal residents benefit from the lowest electric bill out of the state’s 55 electric utilities, and a bill that is 25 percent below the national average, says Mousseau.

Here’s FPL’s checklist to prevent mold and save energy while your home is vacant:

Mold prevention
• For programmable thermostats: Set your A/C to run at 72 degrees for just two hours each morning before sunrise and at 88 degrees the rest of the time.
• For non-programmable thermostats: Set your A/C to run at 80 degrees while you are away. If you live in a condo or apartment set your A/C at 77 degrees.
• For maximum energy savings: Use dehumidifiers instead of air conditioning. Set dehumidifiers at 58 percent by sinks and showers, one for every 1,000 square feet. Be sure to place the dehumidifiers so the water runs into the drain.

Appliances

• Water heater: Unplug or turn off the circuit breaker to the hot water heater
• Unplug appliances and electronics. For security reasons, you may want to place timers on indoor lamps.
• Refrigerators: If you prefer to keep your refrigerator on, set it at its warmest setting. If your prefer to keep your refrigerator off, make sure to clean the interior with solution of 1 tbsp. of baking soda in 1 quart of water; dry thoroughly and leave doors open. Remove all food from the freezer and refrigerator and leave the refrigerator door propped open. If you have an automatic ice maker, switch it to the “off” position.

Pool
• Set your pool pump to run no more than six hours a day.
• Arrange for someone to check your pool’s chemical levels and water level while you're away.

Billing and Payment Options

Hurricane Preparedness
• Make arrangements for hurricane shutters to be installed prior to your departure if you will be gone for the duration of hurricane season, which runs from June to November.

Other
• Make sure all smoke alarms are working and have fresh batteries.
• Discard all perishable items.
• Ask someone to check on your property every two weeks while you're away.
• Turn off the main water valve unless you have an automatic fire-sprinkler system. If you do, turn off the water valves to your washing machine, kitchen and bathroom sinks, dishwasher and toilets.
