The Thin Blue Line



Dear Lee,

Do you agree that law enforcement professionals in your community…

  • Should understand the doctrine of jihad?

  • Should understand how jihad motivates acts of terrorism?

  • Should be versed in who the Muslim Brotherhood is…its history… its goals…leaders… and affiliated organizations in America?
Are you concerned that political correctness is too often keeping this vital information from law enforcement professionals?

We have a solution.

It's called "The Thin Blue Line Project."

"The Thin Blue Line" refers to law enforcement officers who stand as a "thin line" between the law-abiding and the lawbreakers in our society.

Years ago, Islamic terrorism wasn't high on the list of "lawbreakers" the Thin Blue Line had to worry about. Those days are gone.

Since 2009 dozens of homegrown jihadists have been arrested in our country. Numerous plots have either been foiled or failed.

The Obama administration insists that our sole enemy is "al Qaida." As a result, the administration is purging every reference to radical Islam, such as jihad, from its counterterrorism threat assessments and training materials.

But what is linking all the Islamic terror organizations, as well as "lone wolf" terrorists, is not al Qaida.

It is jihad.

Those on the Thin Blue Line need to understand the ideology driving the terrorism. They need to be able to connect the dots between what these jihadists believe and why they do what they do. They need to understand the "threat doctrine."

Because if they don't, we'll all be in greater danger.

We talk to law enforcement professionals all over the country, and they tell us they desperately want to have information that helps them understand this threat.

This is why ACT! for America wants to launch a groundbreaking project called "The Thin Blue Line Project."

The Thin Blue Line Project will be a unique website, designed by law enforcement professionals for law enforcement professionals.

At this website such professionals will be able to easily get resources and information they aren't getting now—and won't get in the future if "the purge" continues. Instead of having to search through hundreds of websites and other information sources, they'll get everything they need in one place.

Do you agree that our law enforcement professionals need the right information to combat Islamic terrorism—even if it's not "politically correct"?

Then we need your help to make "The Thin Blue Line Project" a reality.


  • The first, and most important way you can help, is to become one of our monthly contributors we call "Patriot Partners." Log on here, select the "Patriot Partner" option, make a gift of just $11 a month, and we'll mail you an autographed copy of Brigitte Gabriel's new video, "The Purge: How Our Government is Stripping All References to Radical Islam from Counterterrorism Materials."

    As an added bonus, we'll send you the DVD "Jihad and the Doctrine of Abrogation." Watch this and no one will ever be able to pull politically correct wool over your eyes!

  • If you prefer to make a single contribution, you can do so HERE. Choose the "Contributing Member" option and select the $37 gift level, and we'll mail you an autographed copy of Brigitte's new video AND the added bonus DVD.

  • You can also mail a contribution by printing out a reply form here.
Most Americans aren't aware of how the Obama administration is quietly redefining the terrorist threat.

Most Americans aren't aware that ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) is "helping" the FBI rewrite its counterterrorism training materials.


ISNA is a Muslim Brotherhood front organization and unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in America.

Most Americans aren't aware that CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is mailing letters to law enforcement offices across America demanding to see how they conduct counterterrorism training.

CAIR is a Muslim Brotherhood front organization connected to Hamas, and an unindicted co-conspirator in the same trial.

On the other hand, you are someone who knows what's going on.

If those like you, who understand the problem, don't take action, who will?


By making a monthly gift of only 37 cents a day, or a single gift of just $37, you will help us make sure that law enforcement professionals have easy access to information and resources they aren't getting now.

Information and resources—in one place—that is not "pre-approved" by groups like ISNA and CAIR.

Help us make our Spring Pledge drive a success by visiting our website and either making an $11 monthly Patriot Partner gift or making a $37 single gift. (Or if you prefer, you can print out a reply form HERE and mail it with a check.)

Remember, the law enforcement officers armed with the truth from our Thin Blue Line Project may live in your community, tasked with protecting you.

The families they protect may well include your own.

From ACT! for America: Professor files free speech lawsuit

Professor files freedom
of speech lawsuit


Make a gift for our
Spring Pledge Drive here!


Dear Lee,

When should free speech be limited?

According to the Muslim Students Association (MSA), apparently when it hears speech it deems "anti-Muslim."

According to the Fox News story below (highlights added), a Purdue University professor who made comments on his Facebook page about Muslims was investigated after complaints by the MSA and other faculty.

The professor then filed a lawsuit alleging the investigation violated his free speech rights.

One of the faculty members expressed concern for the Saudi students on campus. She went so far as to argue that the "anti-Muslim" comments were comparable to yelling fire in a crowded theater. The implication is that the comments put Muslim students in danger and should be prohibited.

Someone needs to remind this professor who complained that we're not living in Saudi Arabia, where speech deemed offensive to Muslims is prohibited and can put a non-Muslim in serious jeopardy. We still have free speech protections here, whether that speech is offensive to Muslims, Jews or Christians.



Professor sues Purdue after probe of his anti-Muslim Facebook comments

By Mike Jaccarino



FoxNews.com


Purdue University Professor Maurice Eisenstein says the school's investigation - which cleared him - still violated his free speech rights.

A Purdue University professor has filed a freedom of speech suit against his school and five co-workers after getting in hot water for inflammatory statements about Muslims on his Facebook page.

Tenured political science professor Maurice Eisenstein was cleared by a university investigation into his Facebook comments, which included a reference to "the idiot Mohammad [sic}, may his name be cursed." But Eisenstein claims the investigation nonetheless damaged his reputation and disputes a finding that he retaliated against other faculty members.

"I was trying to be challenging as a professor, and do what I was trained to do," Eistenstein, who joined the school's faculty in 1993, told FoxNews.com.

The flap unfolded late last year, when Eisenstein posted a photo of the aftermath of a massacre of Nigerian Christians, purportedly carried out by African Muslims, on his Facebook page.

"Where are the 'moderate' Muslims' reaction to this? Oh, I forgot they are still looking at the earth as flat ...," Eisenstein wrote above the post.

Other members of the faculty, as well as members of the Muslim Student Association, learned of the comments and went to school officials. Eisenstein maintained that the post was on his personal page and in no way reflected on the school. History professor Miriam Joyce, who later filed a harassment complaint against Eisenstein, told FoxNews.com the comments could alienate students.

"We have Saudi students," Joyce said. "We have other Muslim students. This is wrong. It creates an unpleasant and unwelcoming atmosphere. "I'm concerned that Muslim students and their parents will get the wrong idea about my school."

The Muslim Student Association could not be reached for comment.

The school's investigation, led by Chancelor Thomas Keon, cleared Eisenstein in January of violating the college's free-speech and anti-harassment rules. However, he received a written reprimand for allegedly retaliating against Joyce, as well as a second professor, Saul Lerner.

Eisenstein denied retaliating or harassing his colleagues, but acknowledged a bitter e-mail exchange with Lerner and denies making a callous reference to Joyce's son, a former hedge fund manager who committed suicide.

Eisenstein said his freedom-of-speech suit is the result of the university's investigation into his comments about Muslims - even though the probe ostensibly cleared him.

"When you investigate free speech, you chill free speech," Eisenstein said. "How am I supposed to do my job without free speech. I've changed. Every time I go into a classroom, I look around and wonder who will complain about what I say."

Eisenstein enlisted the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) in bringing his suit against the Big Ten school.

"This is not the first time and it won't be the last time we will see a university punish a student or professor for constitutionally protected speech on Facebook," said FIRE President Greg Lukianoff. "Professors at public universities should not have to go to court to defend their free speech rights."

Joyce said freedom of speech shouldn't permit a professor at a public school to gratuitously denigrate the beliefs of others, including students at the school.

"I'm all for free speech. I want it for me and I want it for everyone else, but there's got to be some judgment used," Joyce said. "You don't cry fire if there isn't a fire and then say it was protected by free speech.


"I'm a [history] teacher," she added. "I'd rather be dealing with Bahrain than Eisenstein, anyway."

From ACT! for America: Kansas Victory: The Untold Story

Kansas Victory: The Untold Story

Dear Lee,

The week of May 7th, the Kansas legislature passed, on a near-unanimous vote, the Kansas version of ALAC (American Laws for American Courts).

According to a Fox News report, Gov. Sam Brownback signed the bill on May 21st.

ALAC prohibits judges from applying foreign law when doing so infringes on the constitutional rights of a party to the case. This can include sharia law.

Numerous media outlets reported the legislature's vote. But here's what happened behind the scenes that didn't get reported.


ACT! for America spearheaded a grassroots effort that produced more than 30,000 phone calls and emails to Kansas legislators.

******** 30,000 !!! ********

This outpouring of grassroots support overwhelmed all opposition to the bill, including efforts by CAIR. Without the ACT! for America grassroots campaign, the 30,000 phone calls and emails wouldn't have happened.

This is just ONE example of how ACT! for America is winning victories for you, your family, your community, and our nation.

How are we doing this?


  • Recruiting and mobilizing chapter leaders, volunteers and members across America.
  • Providing them information, resources and training.
  • Connecting them to each other.
  • Mobilizing them to action.
What is making this possible?

The faithful financial support of our Patriot Partners and Contributing Members. The fact is, without this support we couldn't be doing what we're doing.

Recently we launched our Spring Pledge Drive, because if we're going to keep fighting and winning victories like this one in Kansas, we need the financial support of new Patriot Partners and Contributing Members.



We also want to launch a new program, "The Thin Blue Line Project," later this year. As we've described in previous emails, this will be an online portal housing important educational and informational resources for law enforcement professionals that they're not getting in their counterterrorism training programs.

We need your support to launch this important project, keep our momentum going, and to keep winning these victories!

As our "thank you," we'll mail you Brigitte Gabriel's latest video, "The Purge: How Our Government is Stripping All References to Radical Islam from Counterterrorism Materials."

AND we'll add a bonus DVD—Jihad and the Doctrine of Abrogation.


Every citizen concerned about radical Islam and terrorism should see these videos. So should our law enforcement professionals!

And they will—if we have the resources needed to make "The Thin Blue Line Project" a reality.
