Fellow Conservative,

Heritage Action’s Executive Director Jessica Anderson wrote in the Washington Examiner this week that, “The recent violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is the latest episode in a new weekly show that the nation never asked for...The evidence is clear that defunding the police leads to more crime.” That’s exactly why we launched our Police Pledge.

Since last week, the number of elected officials and candidates who have added their names to the Pledge has more than doubled, including former UN Ambassador and Governor Nikki Haley, Senator David Perdue (GA), and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (LA). Over 29,000 citizens have signed their names as well. Momentum is building!

On Thursday, the Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia issued a challenge to all state party Chairmen and district and unit Chairmen in the commonwealth to join him to stand with our nation’s law enforcement officers, saying, “We have seen countless attacks on our brave law enforcement officers, citizens and neighborhoods. It is time to join together at all levels to stand for safety and security and show our support for law enforcement. Join me today and stand up for law and order by adding your name to the Police Pledge.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!

>>Take a moment to sign the Pledge now!<<

Grassroots activists all over America continue to stand for our American institutions while more and more people are speaking out against the chaos and violence being peddled by the Left.

Texas “Back the Blue Rally on the Square”
Hundreds of people rallied to support law enforcement in Denton, Texas on Saturday. North Texas College Republicans and Denton County Young Republicans organized the event to support police, saying, “In a time when our men and women in blue are facing tireless threats, insults, and hardships, it is important that we as conservatives honor and support our officers and stand up for the rule of law in this free nation.” Organizers wanted to show that the hatred for police is the minority and the majority is proud and loud to support those who serve and protect.

Marysville High School football team supports first responders and military
Each year, sports teams at Marysville High School in Ohio are recognized around town with promotional items in local businesses like schedules, calendars, posters, and banners. This year, seniors on the varsity football team decided to support those serving as first responders and in the military in one of their photos, which has since gone viral. The players held flags to represent family and friends serving as police, EMTs, and even a teammate who graduated early to join the Army and serve his country.

Letters to the Editor:

“Blue in Peril”
Virginia Sentinel David Leach writes in a letter recently published in the Rappahannock Record that, “The majority of [law enforcement] are dedicated, upholding their oath to serve and protect all people [and if necessary, lay down their lives]. High-profile events make headlines, yet incidents of this nature, though smaller, happen daily with little notice. It’s their mission. Their reward is vilification by a vocal minority...If the goal is LE of inferior quality and character, keep up the Blue Hate. Or fix the problem: ...respect good LE putting lives on the line every day...”

"Absentee Ballots vs. Universal Vote-by-Mail"
Sentinel Jane Lee Hamman, who has served as a Montana election judge for over 30 years, writes in the Helena Independent Record that absentee ballots requested by registered voters and universal vote-by-mail “are two very different means of voting in an election.” The latter involves “an unsolicited universal ballot that is sent to every person on the voter rolls,” which “creates enormous opportunities for fraud.” Jane reminds readers that, “Voting is one of our most precious responsibilities and every vote should count.”

As momentum builds in the #FightForAmerica, keep up the great work and keep sending us awesome stories and pictures from the front lines!

Don’t forget to sign the pledge at www.PolicePledge.com and ask your elected officials to add their names as well!
