Thanks for this list. It's a good list so I'll add a few more to it.
A few groups with notoriety are Save Our State and The Fire Coalition. We also have New Jersey Citizens for Immigration Control and Voice of The People USA here in the NJ/PA area. In addition there's You Don't Speak For Me, a creation of Tanton's, 9/11 Families for a Secure America, Dustin Inman Society, and LAIR (Latino Americans for Immigration Reform.) There's probably many more, but those are the ones I'm aware of.
Love the blog and all the work you've been doing to expose these groups.
