Dear Friend,

Thanks to a generous partner, during the week of July 4th all donations to Gatestone will be matched. Click here to join and see your U.S. tax-deductible donation doubled.

As we celebrate Independence Day, when we think the unfolding events are happening far from home, we can now see the immediate effects on the streets of our cities and on the campuses of our once glorious institutes of higher learning. It has never been clearer how weak leadership combined with a failure to assert our values assertively in arenas around the world, leads to unrest, violence and a breakdown of our moral values at home. When American kids start chanting "Death to America," you know something is very wrong. Even in the wildest days of the civil unrest surrounding the Vietnam war, we did not see anything remotely resembling this type of venom and self-hatred.

America and the Free World it ostensibly leads are a mess. We are surrounded by malicious, attempts to bypass laws and pander to hostile interests, both foreign and domestic. Where there should be decisive leadership, there are lies that compromises the authority of the US on the world stage. Where there should be policies that promote prosperity, there is instead inflation, regulations that stifle growth, more than 100,000 deaths from fentanyl and other opiates a year thanks to Communist China, crushing budget deficits, and an eye-watering level of national debt – all of which have the potential to cripple our country for generations. Where there should be support for our allies around the world who are fighting to defeat barbarism, there is dithering and the refusal to deliver the arms that are needed, thereby emboldening our enemies who seek to destroy the American-led international order of free, sovereign nation-states.

Clearly, something dangerous is happening that is threatening the very fabric of our society. We cannot afford to be complacent.

As we approach the 248th anniversary of the founding of the USA, Gatestone resolves to redouble our efforts to produce analysis that promotes positive change and unity in the US and the Free World. And in conjunction with a generous anonymous donor, YOUR contributions will also be doubled during the week of July 4th.

That means every $100 you donate becomes $200 toward the fight to protect freedom and liberty in the US and around the world.

Gatestone produces and disseminates in-depth research and incisive reports that fearlessly challenge the status quo, so that our nation and our allies have the truthful information they need to make independent choices on important global issues and the state of their nation – and to remind us how proud we should be of our nation and its values.

Things are bound to change drastically, one way or another. Will we allow radical elements at home and abroad to hijack the freedoms we hold dear in order to sabotage us? Or will we expose the truth of what this struggle is really about, the graveness of its implications, and stand our ground against these radicals?

The need for change has never been more urgent. Together, we can empower like-minded citizens and governments around the world to embrace our common values and our shared vision, to stand strong and united against the forces that seek our downfall.

Thank you for your support,

Nina Rosenwald
