Visit our News page Top 10 Reasons to Attend the ACT! for America 2012 National Conference & Legislative Briefing 10. MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE. If you don't find this conference to be everything we say it is, we'll refund your registration fee !! How many conferences make an offer like that? 9. Take Home Tips and Tools That Will Empower You to Make a Measurable Difference in Your Community. Learn from an expert in communication and persuasion, ACT! for America Executive Director Guy Rodgers, how you can better persuade and inform others; how to write effective emails and letters to the editor; how to make a splash on a talk radio program—and much, much more. Find out how and why our local chapters make a difference. Hear from National Field Director Kelly Cook and experienced chapter leaders. It's easier than you might think and it has a tremendous impact for the cause. 8. Have the Opportunity to Meet YOUR Federal Legislators Where They Vote. You will have the time and opportunity to schedule a meeting with your Federal legislators and the staff who handle national security issues in their Capitol Hill offices. Let them hear directly from you, their constituent, so they can see the "face" of ACT! for America and learn how you feel about national security issues. This is especially important now, in an election year, with efforts underway to revise counterterrorism training materials at the FBI. 7. Get Empowered by Hearing from Leading National Security Experts, Including Former Top-Level Government Officials. We make it a point to bring in different experts each year, so that our conference attendees reap the benefit of continued education on the threat of radical Islam and other critical national security issues. No two ACT! for America National Conferences are ever the same. We are very proud of our lineup of speakers this year, such as Former CIA Director, Jim Woolsey; Former CIA Operations Officer, Clare Lopez; Islamic thinker and reformer, and one-time Islamic extremist Tawfiq Hamid; and best-selling author, Ken Timmerman; as well as our Executive Director, Guy Rodgers and of course, Brigitte Gabriel. 6. Participate in a Capitol Hill National Security Legislative Briefing. Travel with us to Capitol Hill to sit in on a private national security briefing by those Members of the U.S. Congress who are on the front lines of national security issues. There you will have the opportunity to ask them your personal questions. 5. Attend Our Annual Luncheon at a Political "Hot Spot." Enjoy lunch just down the street from the U.S. Capitol, at the famous Capitol Hill Club, where Members of Congress, media and political players dine each day. Sit and talk with Members of Congress who attend our annual Legislative Awards Luncheon, where we honor those legislators that work the hardest in the U.S. Congress on national security issues. 4. Meet Other Like-Minded National Security Activists and ACT! for America Members from Around the Country—and Around the World. We think one of the most important reasons for attending our annual conferences is to continue to grow your network of colleagues and to benefit from the experiences of others. All too often, we hear from members who feel they are "all alone" in their communities when it comes to fighting radical Islam. This belief couldn't be further from the truth, and meeting others who are working to defend our nation is inspiring, rewarding and energizing, particularly when you see how many are in your very own state! 3. Attend our Dinner Gala and Hear Directly from a Great Patriot, Congressman Allen West, as Well as Other Special Guests. Attend our conference "Grand Finale," the Gala Banquet, where you'll mix and mingle with newly-made friends and hear from special Guests including this year's return Keynote Speaker, Congressman Allen West. Past attendees describe this event as a "WOW" event! 2. Brigitte Gabriel. Whether you've never met her, or have done so on numerous occasions, talking with ACT! for America President and Founder Brigitte Gabriel is always a new experience. Spend two and a half exciting, jam-packed days with Brigitte and her team, mingling with those who work on National Security issues every day. Take home new knowledge about the issue and new ideas to use at home in your Chapter and throughout your community. As Brigitte always reminds us: If each of us does just a little, together we can accomplish a lot! 1. Bottom Line: It's Important—and it's FUN! Radical Islam's threat to our nation and how we, as a nation, will address it is critically important. We all have choices to make in our lives, especially with the economy as bad as it is. We understand that traveling to Washington DC is not easy for everyone. But we also contend that there is NO OTHER ISSUE as important to both our generation and future generations as the one we work on every day: national security. Think of it this way: if we lose freedoms we are afforded through our U.S. Constitution, what difference do all the other issues make? This is an election year. This is the year that the voice of the people MUST be heard and one important way to amplify that resounding voice is by having Members of Congress see you on Capitol Hill. As we frequently hear these decision makers say: The problem of radical Islam will only be fixed by the grassroots. WE NEED YOU. Join us this June 27, 28 and 29 in Washington, DC. GET ENERGIZED. BE INSPIRED. MAKE AN IMPACT! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure you receive all of your messages from ACT for America.
