Freedom isn't free

Visit our News page Independence Day, 2010 Please log on to Veteran Defenders of America…because “freedom isn’t free” July 4, 1776, may have been the day the Declaration of Independence was signed. But it took seven years of war to win that independence—proving once again that “freedom isn’t free.” One of the more striking characteristics of radical Islam is its oppressive, totalitarian nature. Throughout history, the spread of this evil ideology has brought with it death, slavery, suffering and oppression—not the “peace” and “tolerance” its adherents claim. Non-Muslims and Muslims have suffered under the boot heel of this ideology. For instance, countless Muslim women around the world today suffer as second-class citizens under sharia law. Non-Muslims in Islamic countries face persecution, intimidation, even torture and death. Non-Muslims in countries like France fear to go near “no go zones,” Muslim enclaves where even law enforcement officers dare not tread. In April, ACT! for America announced the launch of a new joint project entitled Veteran Defenders of America (VDA). Since then, hundreds of veterans nationwide have signed up to be part of this grassroots movement whose motto is “the eyes and ears of freedom.” Are you a veteran? Do you have a family member who is a veteran? Then please visit www.veterandefenders.org today to find out more about the mission and objectives of this organization. On June 15th, over 270 people jammed a meeting room in the Nashville, Tennessee, area to attend an event co-hosted by the Middle Tennessee chapter of ACT! for America and Veteran Defenders of America. Keynoting the event were Erick Stakelbeck, an international CBN news correspondent/expert on radical Islam, and Colonel Jim Harding, the 19th most decorated soldier in United States military history. Attendees heard a summary of the threat arrayed against us—and how they as veterans can do something about the threat. VDA plans for the future include training programs in homeland security, emergency preparations, and the threat of Islamist organizations located here in America linked directly to the worldwide Muslim Brotherhood. VDA is already building a grassroots leadership infrastructure of veterans and for veterans. To find out how you can get involved, visit www.veterandefenders.org. Because veterans understand, better than most, that freedom isn’t free. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT for America P.O.
