The prospect of a “peace dividend” with the demise of the Soviet Union is long gone. It may have taken from 1989 and the tearing down of that wall, until September 11, 2001 for us to truly understand that the peace dividend was a mirage. The simmering evil represented by the Moslem Brotherhood and it’s ilk was fully present through most of the cold war. Our focus may have been elsewhere but the radical stew of all those intent on creating a world wide Caliphate was bubbling to a boil in the international political and social caldron.

Our challenge is to fully engage this enemy using the tools necessary to protect our precious way of life. To assert our rights without assuming the responsibilities necessary to protect those rights suggests an arrogance and hubris that will come back to bite us.

This is my call to action for Americans to step up and stop all those who are intent on imposing a Caliphate in the West. Each of us can find ways to use our skills, energies and talents to play a role. If you are looking for suggestions -  here's one. Go to actforamerica.org and sign up. There you can find dozens of ways to step up to the plate. It only takes a few moments each week to make a difference.

Another way to step up is contact me at asecureamerica.gmail.com. I would love to make a 40 minute presentation to groups of 10 or more that you assemble. In your home, at a social or fraternal gathering, at your religious or civil association let me come and describe the threat and how each of us can play our role in this war.

I truly believe that once the average American learns the details of the threat we face he or she will ACT! We are struggling in an economic quagmire that consumes so much of our energy and resources. It is perfectly reasonable to be distracted by our immediate needs. So let me and/or Act! For America give you the tools and direction so you can lend a hand with minimal effort amidst the chaos of your daily responsibilities.
