PLEASE CONTACT CONGRESS TODAY!

Visit our News page LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT!! ALL HANDS ON DECK NEEDED NOW! SEND A MESSAGE TO THE U.S. CONGRESS AND TO CAIR ABOUT LEGISLATION NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION! [Editor’s Note: In yesterday’s email we incorrectly identified the Muslim student as female. We apologize for the error.] Senators Joe Lieberman (CT) and Susan Collins (ME), Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee have included very important language in S. 1546, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Reauthorization Act of 2011. Specifically, their language designates an official within DHS to “coordinate efforts to counter violent extremism in the United States, particularly the ideology that gives rise to Islamist terrorism….” Bringing governmental focus to bear on the ideology driving Islamic terrorism is something we have been working hard to achieve. It’s what Guy Rodgers, ACT! for America Executive Director, addresses in his “Connect the Dots” presentation that is part of our “Unmasking the Enemy Among Us” resource. The Lieberman/Collins language is significant forward movement by the U.S. Congress to finally define the threat. It is critical that we show them that we are behind them 150%!!! The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will be considering this legislation tomorrow, Wednesday, September 21st. Surprise, surprise! CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, has sent out an alert urging people to contact the committee and express their opposition. We know you’re shocked to learn this. WE MUST SEND A LOUDER, STRONGER MESSAGE THAN CAIR! Please take a moment NOW to call the Committee to let them know that you wholeheartedly SUPPORT the language of Section 213: Countering Homegrown Terrorism contained in S. 1546—and forward this Alert on to everyone you know! The phone numbers of the Senate House Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee are as follows: Majority (Democrats) 202-224-2627 Minority (Republicans) 202-224-4751 It is CRITICAL that the Committee hears from those that support the language—which we know are a MAJORITY of Americans. PLEASE CALL TODAY! THANK YOU! REMEMBER, YOUR VOICE COUNTS! IF EACH OF US DOES JUST A LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN ACCOMPLISH A LOT! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT for America P.O.
