Are you ready for this?

"Police sniffer dogs trained to spot terrorists at railway stations may no longer come into contact with Muslim passengers - after complaints that it is against the suspects' religion." So begins the story below from Britain's Daily Express.

Fifteen years ago who would have thought such an absurdity possible? How did Great Britain come to this point?

The answer is both complex and simple. The simple answer is this: As Muslim militancy gradually increased, most Brits didn't pay attention. Those who did apparently did not do enough to ring the alarm bells necessary to awaken their fellow citizens.

I draw your attention to this because the choices we make today will help determine what kind of society we have in five, ten or fifteen years from now.

In ten years will it be illegal here in America for someone like me to speak out against radical Islam? Will a dirty bomb be detonated in five years because some Muslim FBI Arabic translators deliberately misinterpreted critical intelligence intercepts? In twelve years will a federal court rule that denying Muslims the right to be governed by sharia law is discriminatory?

Sound impossible? Why? How many things happening today in England - or even here in America - would have been thought possible ten years ago?

We have one week left in our "Patriot Partners" monthly pledge campaign. If everyone who has thus far signed up or committed to sign up follows through, we will be more than halfway to our goal.

If you are one of those who has signed up, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If you haven't, I hope we have been able to demonstrate to you how valuable your monthly pledge to ACT! for America will be. We are doing all we can today to build the kind of citizen action network necessary to prevent the unthinkable from happening here in America.

Waiting until the unthinkable happens is too late. Decisions you and I make today will influence what happens months and years from now.

So I appeal to you, if you haven't yet enlisted as one of our "Patriot Partners" giving $20, $40 or $100 each month, please sign up today. All you have to do is click here to make your contribution online.

And because the response to our offering a mail-in option was so strong, if you'd prefer to mail us a check each month rather than give online, please click here to print out a reply form to mail in with your check.

The British statesman Edmund Burke wrote: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Most Americans haven't been awakened to the threat that faces us. If those of us who have been awakened fail to take actions that we are able to take, the unthinkable will happen here just as it is happening in Great Britain.

But if each of us does something, if each of us does what we can do, we will create the grassroots force necessary to prevent the unthinkable from happening here in America.

As we reflect this July 4th weekend on the blessings of liberty we inherited from those who sacrificed their lives, fortunes and sacred honor, let's each do what we can to ensure those blessings of liberty and safety are passed on to the generations that follow us.

Will you join us as a Patriot Partner today?

Yours in devotion to America, the dream that became my address.
