Announcing Our National Blogging Program
Find Out Why This Effort Will Form the
Foundation for Our Long Term Success!
By: Kelly Cook, National Field Director
I have some very exciting news. In the next few weeks, we will be embarking on an effort that has the potential to explode our collective influence on internet search engines, which in turn will greatly increase our chapters, volunteers and supporters!
Can you imagine doing a Google, Bing or other search on any term related to radical Islam and have our ACT! for America site pop up among the top five spots—every time?
If we are successful in this project, which by the way only a true national grassroots network could ever dream of accomplishing, you will be in a position to help us literally define the debate for decades to come!
I need writers. I need several dozen writers. You don't have to be a great writer, just someone who cares and who can competently string a sentence together. That's it.
We will be training you on everything you need to know and do. In fact, we'll be having weekly conference calls that will be available to all volunteer writers that will go over all the details.
I also want to be very clear on time commitment. This won't take a lot of your time! We will do the heavy lifting in terms of content.
We just need your help to take it virally over the internet.
Want to listen in and check it out? Email Ashley at acraig@actforamerica.org
We will then send you the details for getting on the first conference call as soon as our system is in place.
You don't have to wonder if this project will have any impact. This could be the key that unlocks our ability to finally reach anyone searching for all issues pertaining to radical Islam. The potential outcome will be stunning in terms of protecting all we hold dear.

Tip of the Month
Chapter Meeting Content Suggestions
|
|
Many chapter leaders have asked for a list of available speakers who are knowledgeable and willing to travel to your chapter meetings to give a quality presentation. Others have wondered what the latest film / video releases are.
Click here for a list of suggested speakers and films! Please note the associated costs for bringing a speaker to your chapter before you contact them.
(If you know of someone we missed or a great video that's not on the list, let us know and we will update the list regularly.)
Important Reminder: Great speakers and film content help your chapter grow, but it's always best to mix this content into a chapter environment that is rich with priority projects to be working on as well. It's not either / or, it's both! We must put shoe leather to our conviction to stop radical Islam in its tracks, but it must be based on factual information.
CHAPTER LEADER OF THE MONTH
Sarah from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!
Sarah, who is a mentor as well as a Chapter Leader, leads by example and her enthusiasm for ACT! for America's mission is so contagious! She plans to be in DC next month at our National Conference and Legislative Briefing and looks forward to "comparing notes" with you.
Sarah and her great volunteers just had their tenth meeting. She has nearly 40 who attend their meetings with over 100 email members who receive and pass on chapter communications. What's most impressive is that Sarah can call upon two dozen who are willing to do special projects!
The chapter is working closely with a Borough Council Member to pass an anti Shariah Law resolution, and plans to get resolutions passed in other local electoral districts soon after. Since its founding the chapter has maintained an active role as a voice in local issues and

events threatening citizen security and the American way of life.
The chapter sold 20 of Brigitte's books at various events in April and just ordered 20 more! Can you imagine how much coverage our message would have if all 395 chapters went through 20 books per month? That's nearly 8,000 books, which amounts to over 90,000 books per year!
Perhaps the most telling characteristic of Sarah and her chapter is in her own words,
"May I just say that, if there's anything worthwhile about this chapter, then it is that we are building it on the vision and mission of ACT! for America one beautiful human being at a time."

Congratulations Sarah!
