A Warm Welcome to Our Friends in
the United American Committee!
By Brigitte Gabriel, President, ACT! for America
I am delighted to announce the addition of the members of the United American Committee (UAC) to the ACT! for America citizen action network.
A week ago Jesse Petrilla, the founder of the United American Committee, sent an email to UAC members telling them of this exciting news. In that email he wrote:
“I am very pleased to announce that in order to build cohesion, and keep the members of United American Committee active in the fight against Islamic jihad, we will be adding the UAC membership to the ranks of ACT! for America, thus helping to further strengthen and unite the efforts against our enemies.
While UAC will remain a separate entity, our members will now benefit from receiving ACT! for America updates, and are encouraged to find and get involved with local ACT! chapters. Soon you will be receiving a welcoming message from ACT! officials.”
Jesse founded the United American Committee in 2004 with the goal, as he said in his email to the UAC members, “to spark a national movement against jihad…” As he further stated in his email, “that effort now exists, and ACT! for America is leading the way.”
We in ACT! for America applaud Jesse’s efforts over the past five years and are thankful and humbled by the words he shared about us in his email. Our UAC friends are to be commended for their patriotism and activism in the face of the rising threat of radical Islam, and I know there have been instances where UAC and ACT! for America members have been working together toward this common goal.
As a consequence of this action by Jesse and the UAC, the ACT! for America network is now bigger and stronger. I have sent an email message to the UAC members, welcoming them to our network and encouraging them to get involved with our chapters or even to explore starting ACT! for America chapters where they live.
I’d like to close by quoting one last time from Jesse’s email to the UAC membership:
“I hope that UAC members, united with members of ACT! for America, will be a force to be reckoned with on the grassroots front.”
That is my sincere hope as well. I applaud Jesse’s expression of unity and desire for us to work together. In the struggle against radical Islam we have many challenges ahead of us, but with that kind of spirit I have no doubt that we will prevail.
Always devoted,
Brigitte Gabriel
