Our eyes and ears foiling terrorist plots!





Threat and Response—Part Three

ACT! for America’s “Eyes and Ears”
are foiling terrorist plots




Contemplate for a moment the frightening implications of this terrorism threat assessment, described in an intelligence presentation in a Washington Examiner article on September 1, 2012:
   

  • Terrorists are preparing to attack American schools.
  • Al Qaeda operatives have been videotaped practicing school takeovers and issuing commands in English.
  • Scouting of potential targets has already occurred.
  • The “dress rehearsal” for such attacks occurred in Beslan, Russia in 2004, when 172 children were killed.
  • The terrorist planners appear to be targeting middle schools. Why? Because the girls are old enough to rape but the boys aren’t big enough to fight back.
  • Schools have very little security—or none at all. Recall what happened at the Sandy Hook school.
One of the ways terrorist attacks are foiled is when citizens spot something suspicious and contact the appropriate authorities.
This is precisely what happened in 2010, when three ACT! for America chapter leaders, working together across three states, exposed a potential jihadist they had come across online, and reported him to the FBI.

While we can’t publicize other details, this isn’t the only time an ACT! for America member helped prevent a potential terrorist attack.

This is one of the overlooked benefits of ACT! for America’s citizen action network—eyes and ears across America, and even in countries around the world.

The larger our citizen action network gets, the more eyes and ears there are out there.
Eyes and ears that know what to look for and what to listen for.

Eyes and ears that could well spot potential terrorist activity, such as that described above, before it happens.

Eyes and ears that might save your community—even your family—from a terrorist attack.

Your contribution to our Spring Pledge Drive will help us grow this citizen action network. Today we’re 260,000 members strong. Our goal is to be 1,000,000 members strong.

That’s four times as many sets of eyes and ears than we have today.

Responding to the threat of terrorism isn’t just the responsibility of government authorities. We can help prevent terrorist attacks.

Please help us in our ongoing efforts to recruit new chapter leaders and sign up new members, as we forge ahead to build a million member citizen action network—the largest, organized and informed anti-terrorism network the world has ever seen.

Please log on here and make either a monthly Patriot Partner contribution or a single gift Contributing Member contribution.

Our online contribution process is safe, simple and secure.

If you prefer to mail a check, you can print out a reply form here.

As we said above, we know of at least two instances where potential terrorist threats were averted due to the watchfulness of ACT! for America chapter leaders and members.

How many more could we prevent with a million members watching and listening?

Isn’t the safety of your family worth a Patriot Partner commitment of 60 cents a day? Or a single gift of $40 or more?
