Slipping Off the Radar Screen

A Message from Brigitte Gabriel, President, ACT! for America

Dear Lee,

I am writing to extend you a personal invitation to join us at the fourth annual ACT! for America National Conference and Legislative Briefing in Washington DC June 27th through the 29th.

There is still time to register AND reserve your hotel room at a deeply discounted rate, by clicking on the image to the left. Our work has never been more important and your voice and presence never more essential.

This is a political campaign season, but the issue of national security and radical Islam is largely getting left out of the debate and slipping off the radar screen. We can't allow this to happen!

If concern for national security and the safety of America and its citizens from the threat of radical Islam is not stressed during the campaigns, it will not be a priority after the election.

Our elected officials in Washington need to hear that the American people want them to stand and protect this country now more than ever!!!

We must remind them that while we have killed most of the Al-Qaida leadership, we are still fighting the ideology of radical Islam from which violence, intolerance, and hatred towards America is being spewed. For instance, we have arrested over 75 homegrown terrorists in just the last three years.

Unfortunately, political correctness, beginning at the top in the Obama administration, is increasingly paralyzing our first responders, our counterterrorism agencies, the FBI, and even the Defense Department. The result of this political correctness is a whitewashing of what is behind Islamic terrorism—the doctrine of jihad.

If we want our elected officials in Washington to do the right thing and focus on protecting America from the threat of radical Islam, then we need to put it back on their radar!

If we do not speak out, many in Washington will assume the American people just aren't concerned about the subject of national security.

Therefore, the time to speak out for national security is now! I have no doubt that ACT! for America was created for such a time as this. I have no doubt that together we can take a stand that will make a difference for years to come.

I so look forward to seeing you in Washington DC this month, and thanking you in person for standing with me in defense of our security, our liberty and our values.

Come join us—to make your voice heard, to be informed and inspired, to share the camaraderie, and to celebrate with other ACT! for America chapter leaders, members and donors, everything we have accomplished since our founding in 2007.

Always devoted,


Brigitte Gabriel

From ACT! for America: Caliphate conference in Chicago

Caliphate Conference in Chicago

Dear Lee,

On May 30th, the following was posted on "Jihad Watch":


Hizb ut-Tahrir is an international Islamic organization that openly calls for restoration of the caliphate -- that is, the political union of Muslims worldwide in a single Sharia state ruled by the caliph. This means that the group is dedicated to subverting and destroying all governments not ruled by Islamic law, and as such it is banned in many countries. But not in the U.S., which has never shown any awareness on an official level of non-violent efforts to impose Sharia. They're once again coming to the Chicago area to hold their Caliphate Conference: it will be held on June 17 in Rolling Meadows, Illinois.

Given the Obama administration's on-going purge of all references to radical Islam in counterterrorism training materials, the fact that Hizb ut-Tahrir is not banned in America isn't surprising.

After all, according to the administration, our only concern is al Qaeda.

Watch this short video and see if you agree.

From ACT! for America: A blow against sharia in Georgia

Victory in Georgia!

By Guy Rodgers, Executive Director



Dear Lee,

To every chapter leader, member, volunteer and donor, I have a message for you:

Your support and your efforts continue to pay off!

Our latest victory report comes from the state of Georgia.

Chapter leader Mike Midas led a successful effort to get the following language included in the Georgia Republican Party platform:


A Resolution opposing the use of Sharia Law in Georgia Courts

WHEREAS, Article VI defines the Constitution as the supreme law of the land.

BE IT RESOLVED that the Georgia Republican Party supports legislation to prohibit any court, administrative agency or other tribunal from enforcing a Sharia law in Georgia courts if doing so would violate a right guaranteed to Georgia citizens.

This is no small deal. It sends a clear message to Republican elected officials in Georgia that the GOP grassroots want action on sharia law.

You may recall that just a few weeks ago the Kansas legislature overwhelmingly passed its version of "American Laws for American Courts" (ALAC).

ACT! for America led that grassroots effort that resulted in over 30,000 phone calls and emails to Kansas state legislators!

In 1978 I attended my first political party state convention. Since then I have worked in dozens of political campaigns, grassroots organizations, and non-profit organizations.

Based on over 30 years of experience, one thing I can say with absolute certainty—the kinds of victories ACT! for America continues to win don't "just happen."

Imagine for a moment if Brigitte Gabriel had never launched ACT! for America. There would be no chapters. No grassroots network. No "central nervous system" organizing and distributing information and resources. No national grassroots organization fighting the threat of radical Islam. No lobbyist on Capitol Hill.

And no victories.

Friends, this is a team effort—and in this struggle, there is no substitute for victory. We're winning these victories because we have a nationwide TEAM that is working together. Some people give their time. Some give their money. But none of us, not even Brigitte, can do this alone.

We recently launched our Spring Pledge Drive with an appeal for $11 monthly gifts and $37 single gifts. This fundraising drive is absolutely critical to our continued successes in pushing back against radical Islam.

We don't have Saudi Arabia's petro-dollars to fund what we do. We don't have a George Soros doling out tens of millions of dollars to us. We are dependent on every contribution, no matter how large or small. These contributions put the "gas" in the ACT! for America "tank."


These contributions make it possible for us to do what we do. Without them, the "car" known as ACT! for America would grind to a halt.

You may not think an $11 a month Patriot Partner gift would make much of a difference. But imagine if 300 people who were able to make such a monthly gift thought the same thing and chose not to make that gift. Imagine if everyone waited on everyone else to take action.

There are organizations out raising money using direct mail, email and phone solicitations every single month. We don't do that.

This is why when we do have a fundraising drive, such as our Spring Pledge Drive, it's vitally important for us to reach our goals. Every $11 monthly gift matters—a lot. Every $37 single gift matters—a lot.

So if you can help us today, please do so by visiting our website here. Perhaps you can help with a $25, $20 or $15 monthly gift. Perhaps you can help with a $250, $100 or $50 single gift.

If you prefer to make a contribution with a check, you can print out a reply form here to mail in with your donation.

No matter the size of your contribution, you'll receive a gift from us, a resource you can use to become better informed or to share with others so they will be better informed. For instance, those making the $11 monthly gift will receive Brigitte's latest video, "The Purge: How Our Government is Stripping All References to Radical Islam from Counterterrorism Materials," and a bonus DVD, "Jihad and the Doctrine of Abrogation."

I know most people right now are focused on concerns about the economy and jobs—and that's understandable.

But we who are a part of ACT! for America know what most Americans don't know.


  • We know who CAIR is, who ISNA is, who the Muslim Brotherhood is, and how they want to radically change America.

  • We know about jihad—both violent and stealth jihad.

  • We understand the threat sharia law poses to our freedoms.
And I can assure you, CAIR and its friends and allies would rejoice if ACT! for America disappeared.

Because we are the national grassroots firewall standing in the way of what radical Islam has already done to Great Britain, Europe, Australia and Canada.

In late 2010, at an event in the western U.S. where Brigitte and I spoke, an attendee made a comment to everyone present. He said:


"I've heard many people and organizations talk about the threat of radical Islam. Today I heard from an organization that is actually successfully fighting this threat."

The more of us that pull together, the bigger and stronger that firewall will be.

Will you take action today? Thank you.


Yours for a safe and free America,

Guy Rodgers
