Dear Chairmen Lieberman, King, Leahy, Smith, Feinstein and Rogers:

We write to you today in strong opposition to proposed changes to FBI counterterrorism training materials.

We share the concern of many sitting Members of Congress that the ongoing purge of counterterrorism training materials used by the FBI and state and local law enforcement puts our nation at great peril. It is critically important to the safety of our nation and its citizens that our law enforcement officials are permitted to accurately define the threat, and based on that definition, put in place sound policies to protect our nation and its citizens. Law enforcement officials are the front line of counterterrorism, and they must have accurate training materials that cannot be modified at the whim of one or two Members of Congress, or outside consultants whose identities are kept secret from congressional oversight.

Whitewashing of law enforcement counterterrorism materials appears to be an informal implementation of U.N. Resolution 16/18 (the "The Istanbul Process"). This resolution includes language that seeks to bypass the U.S. Constitution by laying the groundwork for criminalizing any action or speech against a religion, using protection against "incitement to violence" as the rationale. The State Department has vowed to aid the Istanbul Process, and this is completely unacceptable. This resolution and the policies it supports are completely prohibited by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and must be rejected by the United States. Political correctness must not trump constitutional rights, nor hamper our country's ability to protect itself by muzzling law enforcement.

We strongly encourage you to hold hearings on this issue and, further, to do all that you can to put an immediate halt to any changes in law enforcement counterterrorism policies before they have been fully vetted through congressional oversight. Your committees share jurisdiction over these matters.

Please know that the American public is becoming more educated about the threats posed to our nation by those who support and/or perform acts of terrorism in the name of political/radical Islam. We are looking to our elected officials to enact sound policies that will protect us, as they swore to do when they took their oaths of office.

Sincerely,



Sign In Here!

An Invitation to The Internet Radio Station for American Families

The Center For American Heritage Website banner

 

Dr. Peg LuksikI am delighted to announce the start of our New Internet Radio Station KTA Radio!

 KTA Radio
The Internet  Radio Station for American Families
Preserving our heritage begins with preserving the family. Those who are members of strong families live longer and healthier lives than those who aren't. Children who are part of strong and stable families do better academically. Adults who come from, and are currently part of, strong families are the most likely to succeed financially and the least likely to require government services.
Yet in America today, parents attempting to create a strong and stable family in which to raise and educate their children find themselves working against both a popular culture that portrays them as stupid and old-fashioned, and government policies that seek to undermine their authority at every opportunity.
Parents Need, and Deserve, Real Support.
Kitchen Table Academy is designed to provide it, by combining broadcast programming, with one-on-one parenting support opportunities to give you the help you need. 
All of our weekly programs are available 24/7 to fit your schedule, and with no subscription fee to fit your budget.
Just click the button below to join us in preserving the first, and best, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare -
The American Family.
Visit KTA RADIO NOW
All the best.
