Fellow Conservative,
Yesterday marked nineteen years since the September 11, 2001 attacks. Nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives to unspeakable acts of terrorism and hate, including 72 police officers who gave their lives in the line of duty.
Grassroots Director Janae Stracke visited the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C. to share a special message <[link removed]>.
This year, more than ever, we need to remember the police are the heroes we turn to in times of need. This is something we should #NeverForget.
Across America, patriotic Americans have not forgotten. They are taking action to support police, remember our history, and Fight for America.
Fight for America
This year, it’s not enough for conservatives to call out voter fraud — it’s time for committed citizens to show up and volunteer as poll workers to ensure fraud does not disenfranchise voters and undermine our electoral process. Janae Stracke writes in Townhall <[link removed]> why it’s key that rather than advocating for honest and fair elections from the sidelines, conservatives climb into the trenches.

Fight for America Stories
Painting the Streets Blue
While Wapakoneta, OH is normally famous for being the home of Astronaut Neil Armstrong, they are making their name known as a city that supports their local law enforcement. Volunteers from the Wapakoneta Breakfast Optimist Club painted the center-line on Auglaize street blue <[link removed]> to show that while many Left-wing politicians who run some of our cities want to defund the police, the people of Wapakoneta back their local law enforcement.
Operation: Back the Blue
This week Patty Valentine and a team of volunteers help spread some encouragement <[link removed]> to police officers in Fredonia, NY. They put together and delivered over 300 bags throughout the county. Patty said about the effort: “There are many ways to describe the job of a police officer, some would say thankless, but as a child I watched my father work and retire from the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Department and as an adult my brother.” She added, “I would say now, thankful, prideful, one whom would put their lives on the line for a complete stranger, justice, humanity, service, and on and on. Given the times today I felt the need to let these men, women, and K9 officers know ‘We care,’ they are needed, they are loved and appreciated.”
Texas Sentinels Back the Blue
This week Texas Sentinels represented at a rally in San Marcos with Fight for America signs, showing support for police in their community.
Pennsylvania Supports the Police
100 people in Annville, PA gathered on the town’s busiest intersection <[link removed]> to show their support for the police. Heather McLaughlin held a sign in support of her son, a Pennsylvania State Police trooper, and said: "It's absolutely horrifying to be the mother of a law enforcement officer. You don't know when the call is coming." She finds it hard to watch the news. "When you see police being attacked, you think about their mother, their wife, their kids. They're loved."
300 Boats Back the Blue
In Orange Beach, AL more than 300 boats gathered for a Labor Day parade <[link removed]> to show their appreciation for law enforcement officers! While it was the first in their community, the organizers hope to make it an annual event.
WATCH: Morale had taken a hit in Columbus, OH -- so these police wives put together a video to encourage and show support <[link removed]> for their officers.
The Police Pledge
As of this week, over 90 Republican members of Congress <[link removed]> have now signed the Heritage Action Police Pledge! Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) also added their names to the pledge this week. State and local officials can also sign the pledge, and many like Senator Dan Hall of Minnesota have done just that <[link removed]>!
