Visit our News page Dear Thomas, I am sending this note to all of our chapter leaders and volunteers in Florida concerning an important event taking place in Tallahassee this Tuesday, March 10. ACT! for America is pleased to come alongside Tom Trento with the Florida Security Council and Americans Concerned for Florida, a coalition of like-minded, security conscious groups working together to address the threat Florida will be facing on Tuesday. On this day, a group that has direct ties to Islamic terrorism, the United Voices for America, will be seeking to influence your legislator(s) regarding proposed policies that would erode our collective support for the security of Israel and the U.S.! We also believe that their (the U.V.A.) ultimate goal is the replacement of constitutional law with Sharia (Islamic) law both here in Florida and in Washington D.C. They will claim that all they want to do is “get to know their legislators.” Every American has the right to petition their government. But it is also our right and duty to inform our elected officials that certain people and groups have ties to Islamic terrorism! Would you please join me and other leaders of various state and national organizations at 11:00 A.M. at the Capitol Building for a press conference outlining our concerns? 11:00 A.M. (Parking is available at Kleman Plaza. It is located on Duval Street - just west of the Capitol. ) Location of Press Conference: Steps of the New Capitol Building on Duval Street. (Subject to change: watch your emails for possible updates.) Business Attire Requested In addition to the absolute importance of addressing this real threat, I have talked or emailed with so many of you, but have rarely had the chance to shake hands with any Florida volunteers! I suspect most of you are in the same situation. This occasion represents a real opportunity for many of us to finally meet! So let’s “make some lemonade out of lemons” and approach this problem positively and have some fun at the same time. Our real chance to meet and greet will be over lunch immediately after the press conference. We will be meeting in a restaurant close to the Capitol. (Location will be disclosed privately at the finish of the press conference for security purposes. There will most likely be other outside groups also expressing their free speech rights on either side of this issue. Pay attention to your surroundings and any potential threats. I do not wish to overly concern you. If we allow ourselves to become intimidated, we have already lost our freedoms. Your willingness to stand up and be heard is vital!) During this lunch, I will be answering any questions regarding our request of you to meet your own State Representative and / or State Senator later in the afternoon. It is imperative that each legislator get a “touch” from their home district on this issue. This will bring home to them the fact that someone close by really cares about this. Please contact a staff person for these elected officials from your specific district immediately. You can find their contact info by copying and pasting the following URL: http://www.flsenate.gov/Legislators/index.cfm?Mode=Find%20Your%20Legislators&Submenu=3&Tab=Legislators&CFID=128506781&CFTOKEN=42007507 Simply tell them that you will be in Tallahassee on Tuesday, the 10th and you would like to stop by their office for a brief visit. Ask them what time would be best and jot it down. They will be in session on Tuesday, so do not expect to receive “face time” from the legislator. If you can, great. But also realize how influential their staff is to their policy formation process. Spending time with a staff member is great too! I am including the talking points you will need that compliment a briefing pack that we will be placing in each legislator’s capitol mail box. They will already have received the pack before the afternoon of the 10th. Click here for the talking points. I look forward to meeting you! Your interest in keeping this nation the safest in the world is so appreciated. Brigitte Gabriel would be in Tallahassee if her schedule permitted, but it doesn’t. She wants you to know that Tuesday is a very important day for the future of Florida. Please do what you can to join us!
