 Last week, we sent out an email asking you to contact your
Senators and Representatives in support of S.2230
and H.R.
3892, Senate and House bills stating that Congress believes the
Muslim Brotherhood meets the criteria of a Foreign Terrorist Organization
under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189).
H.R. 3892, the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, has been
introduced by Representative Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL). S.2230, the
companion bill under the same name, has been introduced by Senator Ted
Cruz (R-TX). At this time, the Senate bill has only two cosponsors,
Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Ron Johnson (R-WI).
If you have already contacted your elected officials in
support of these bills, thank you. Due to the efforts of our
members, H. R. 3892 now has bipartisan support in the House, with
Representative Colin C. Peterson (D-MN) signing on as a cosponsor.
The legislation lists U.S. groups that include the Council on American
Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and
the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) as groups under the control of
the Muslim Brotherhood.
Again, the Senate bill only has two current cosponsors.
Below, please see the list of Senators on the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee (the Committee with jurisdiction over the legislation) who have
yet to take a position on S. 2230.
If
your Senator is on the list below, we urge you to contact him/her to ask
for support in the form of co-sponsorship of S.2230! (Note:
“supporting” a bill is not enough. We need these Senators to
cosponsor the bill!)

Barrasso (R-WY)

ACT for America thanks you for taking action and contacting your elected
officials in support of this very important legislation that will keep
America safe.
We need members of the U.S. Senate to hear from you.
Please tell them to demonstrate the leadership that we’ve seen in
the House by acting quickly on S. 2230.
Thank you
for ALL that you do for our great nation. If each of us does just a
little, together we can accomplish a lot.
Sincerely,
