Congress to convene hearings!!

Visit our News page “Congress To Convene Hearings On Jamaat ul-Fuqra Terrorist Camps!” A Headline We Would Be Elated To See! By Brigitte Gabriel Dear Solsticewitch13 , Imagine how excited we would all be if the headline above were true! It isn’t – YET. But it could be. Perhaps sooner than we think. Yesterday I emailed you about the just-released, must-see documentary entitled “Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around U.S.” You and I know Congress needs to convene hearings to look into these camps. But to make such hearings a reality, we must understand and take action in three key areas. 1. We must have allies in Congress we can work with. 2. We must raise enough awareness at the grassroots so that there is sufficient grassroots demand for the hearings. 3. We must have a lobbyist on Capitol Hill who can be informing and persuading members of Congress every day, and letting us know when, where and how we need to provide additional grassroots “persuasion.” With respect to the first point above, I’m delighted to tell you that we do have allies in Congress on this and other issues related to radical Islam. For instance, in a letter we recently received from Congresswoman Sue Myrick, Co-Chairperson of the House Anti-Terrorism Caucus, Rep. Myrick wrote: “ACT! for America is just the kind of ally we need in Congress – not only to raise public awareness and concern about the threat of radical Islamists, but also to organize and mobilize concerned citizens to action… Thanks to Brigitte Gabriel and ACT! for America, our country has a greater chance of winning the battle against the rising tide of radical Islamists. My staff and I are honored to work with ACT! for America to achieve our mutual goals, and it is my hope that more citizens will join them in protecting the values and traditions of our country.” (To see the complete letter, please click here). As we are earning respect and support from Members of Congress, our citizen action network continues to grow. In fact, in January alone we added 20 new chapters and increased our number of members by nearly 7%. If we were to sustain that growth through December of this year we would increase our number of members from just under 50,000 to nearly 108,000! And we would double our number of chapters, from 230 to 470! As a result, we are now the largest grassroots organization in America committed to combating the threat of radical Islam. This growth is essential to the second point I made above. There has to be enough demand at the grassroots that the pertinent committee chairpersons in Congress will decide to take action. That’s why I’m asking you to respond TODAY to get your copy of "Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around U.S.” You absolutely MUST see this shocking documentary – and then pass it on to everyone you know. The more people see it, the more the demand for action will grow! To get your copy all you have to do is click here, sign up to be a monthly Patriot Partner contributor, and make a monthly gift of $15 or more. When you do I will rush you out your copy of “Homegrown Jihad.” Our online form is safe, simple and secure, and takes only a couple minutes to fill out. If you’ve already responded, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please email this message to others you know who share your concerns. As I will explain in a moment, becoming a monthly Patriot Partner supporter is the most powerful way you can help us be most effective in getting things done in Congress, like getting hearings convened to investigate these terrorist camps. However, we know that some people prefer making a one-time contribution. If that’s you, simply click here and make a one-time contribution of $40 or more. When you do I will also send you a copy of “Homegrown Jihad.” Remember I noted above that there are three key elements to our winning victories in Congress, and that the third is having a full-time, experienced lobbyist fighting for our interests on Capitol Hill. That’s where your monthly or one-time contribution comes in. We have identified the right person for this position, and we have raised about 65% of what we need to fund the costs for this for one full year. Your becoming a Patriot Partner and making a monthly contribution of $15 or more will help us reach our goal so we can put our full-time lobbyist to work for us on Capitol Hill. When that happens, we will have all three elements in place. We have allies in Congress we can work with. We have the largest, and growing, grassroots network in America dedicated to combating radical Islam. And as you and our many other members get and watch “Homegrown Jihad,” the awareness of this serious threat will spread like wildfire. Then, once we have our lobbyist in place, we can begin a coordinated grassroots and “inside Congress” effort to educate members of Congress about this threat. If you’re already a monthly contributing Patriot Partner, you can get your copy of “Homegrown Jihad” by making a one-time gift of $40 or more. Or, you can increase your monthly gift by $15 or more. All you have to do is click here and check the box at the top that says “I would like to update an existing recurring gift.” Then, simply add $15 or more to your current gift and put that in the amount box. If you are someone who prefers making your contributions with a check, you can click here to print out a short reply form. Make a one-time contribution of $40 or more, and as soon as we receive your form, we’ll rush you your copy of “Homegrown Jihad.” As you can see, we’re putting all the pieces together this year to make it possible for us to have a measurable impact in Congress. Whether you can afford to be a Patriot Partner who gives $5 each month or $500, or whether you can afford a one-time gift of $10 or $1,000, please rest assured that your support is vital to our achieving our objective of making America safer for you, your families and your friends. So please don’t delay. Select one of the options above to become either a new Patriot Partner or make a one-time contribution. Or, if you’re already a Patriot Partner, add $15 or more to your current monthly gift. All you have to do is click here, fill out the safe and secure online form, and we’ll mail you the shocking expose of terrorist camps in the U.S. Or, if you prefer to make your contribution via a check, please click here to print out a reply form to mail with your check. Words just can’t express how much I appreciate and value your support and commitment to our mutual goal of protecting America and our families. Thank you so much for everything you do to help make America safe and keep America free. As we work together, we will see more and more headlines like the one at the top of this email.
