Dear Friend,

What does the War of Independence mean for us today? We like to think of it as a heroic battle fought over two centuries ago to establish a free and prosperous, independent nation. But if we look around, we can see that the battle for freedom continues today.

The July 4 donation match offer continues: Every $100 you donate becomes $200 toward the fight to protect freedom and liberty in the US and around the world.

Successive decisions by American and other Western governments have surrendered independence and power with a series of failed policies and treaties.

The Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China were established to spread communism throughout the world by any means necessary. Today, Russia and China still attempt to hold us hostage through election manipulation, espionage, economic extortion and military expansion.

The Muslim Brotherhood, established in 1928, a full two decades before the State of Israel, has the stated intent of building a global caliphate by bringing down the West. Today, their supporters have bought our universities, are corrupting our youths, and are promoting their agenda in our government. They are placing representatives in positions of influence and power throughout the West.

The United Nations, established to promote world peace and human rights after two devastating world wars, today tries to suspend the rights of sovereign nations, to hand them over to unelected committees, and serves oppressive tyrannical regimes and violators of human rights.

Whether out of common interest or a desire to weaken America and the Free World, these bodies are all working together to further their quests for global domination. Ten years ago, that might have sounded like a conspiracy theory. Today, one only needs to follow the money and the diplomatic paper trails to see that it is a reality happening right now, right under our noses, and sometimes even with our complicity.

In recent years, the US War of Independence has been a one-way fight: Our enemies are taking increasingly bigger and bolder shots, while the West seems content to merely dodge the bullets. But how many more bullets can we afford to dodge?

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction...," said President Ronald Reagan. "It must be fought for, protected... or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

We need leaders, representatives, educators and influencers who will roll back the surrender of US and the West, and preserve our sovereignty and liberties. It starts with exposing the truth about our current state of affairs, and the forces that are behind it. That is exactly what the reports and analyses produced and disseminated by Gatestone Institute achieve: They expose the truth, and keep the pressure on to push back against the forces that seek to displace the US, the Free World, and everything we stand for.

Just as this battle rages on, so too our generous partner has agreed to extend the offer to match all donations in honor of July 4. Until this coming Friday at midnight, your donation will be doubled.

If we do not act, the vacuum of a diminished America and Free World will be exploited and filled by those with who are committed to eroding the rights and freedoms so many have fought so hard to establish. Our enemies are counting on it. Can we count on you to help us to fight back?

Thank you so very much for your support!
