Our 300,000 grassroots advocates have been very vocal in opposing the resettlement of Syrian refugees to the U.S. We are being heard, but we must do more. President Obama has been clear that he still intends to bring hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees to our towns and communities — irrespective of the roar of disapproval from American citizens, the strong public disapproval of over half of U.S Governors, the passage of legislation by the U.S. Congress, and — of course — even after the Paris attack, where we now know that at least one of the terrorists arrived in Europe as a Syrian refugee.
This is unacceptable and ACT for America is taking action, but we need your help.
We have three important and time-sensitive ACTION ALERTS currently underway. Please be sure to take action on each of them, and to forward this e-mail to everyone you know. This is a critical time, both in our nation and worldwide, and we need all hands on deck.

IMPORTANT ACTION ALERTS

1. We are gathering tens of thousands of signatures on an Open Letter to the leadership in the House and Senate voicing strong opposition to the Obama Administration’s plans to bring Syrian refugees to the U.S. The letter will be hand-delivered to the U.S. Congress by our Director of Government Relations. If you haven’t yet added your name, please click HERE to do so.

2. We are actively supporting H.R. 3314, the Resettlement Accountability National Security Act of 2015 introduced by Rep Brian Babin (R-TX). The bill would immediately suspend the U.N.-run refugee program to provide Congress time to fully assess the national security risks and investigate its financial burden on federal, state and local taxpayers.
As of this writing, the bill has 78 cosponsors. Is your House Representative one of them? Click HERE to find out.

If not, please send your House Representative an e-mail asking for co sponsorship, by clicking HERE. If your Representative HAS cosponsored the bill, please send a quick note to say thank you. It goes a long way.

(Several weeks ago, before the Paris attack, Representative Babin spoke on the Floor of the U.S. House of Representatives about the grave threat associated with the U.N.-run refugee program. Click HERE to watch it.)

3. We are actively registering our opposition to any federal funding for U.S. Refugee resettlement actions to be included in the U.S. Congress’s end of year spending bill. This is our most time-sensitive activity right now! Please click HERE to e-mail or call your federal legislators TODAY to express your opposition to any federal funding going to refugee resettlement.

[NOTE: When calling your legislator’s office, it’s fine to merge Actions 2 and 3 together. Express your support for Rep. Babin’s bill and ask for cosponsorship; and express your opposition for any refugee resettlement funding in the fiscal year 2016 budget bill.]

The Paris attack is but a foreshadowing of what can and will take place in our nation soon. We cannot allow unvetted refugees from Syria (or elsewhere) to be settled in our towns and communities. This is a high priority national security matter. Please take action today and pass this e-mail on to everyone you know. Remember, if each of us does just a little, together we can accomplish a lot.
Thank you for all that you do.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

To help with any confusion: there are 2 other bills related to this issue.

I have provided the following to help us as we move forward on this issue.

As you are all aware on November 13 there were horrific terrorist strikes in Paris, France. It has been clearly established that the perpetrators had ties to the Islamic State. The Greek government has confirmed that at least one of the terrorists arrived six weeks ago and entered Europe masquerading as a "Syrian" refugee. In fact, an Al-Qaeda leader has also recently been apprehended, attempting to enter Europe masquerading as a refugee. In recent days the Islamic State has reaffirmed its plans to strike at the United States.

In light of this recent event, assertions made by the Islamic State and compelling testimony by FBI Director Comey it is inconceivable that President Obama will not make any changes to his plans of admitting over 10,000 Syrian refugees. Dr. Comey repeatedly stated that the U.S. government does not have the resources and dramatically lacks the necessary information to fully vet Syrian refugees. He also could not offer any assurances that there is no risk associated with admitting those Syrian refugees to the United States. Not only is Obama continuing with his plans, but he has accelerated the pace of bringing in un-vetted refugees. He is doubling down in the face of growing opposition by an overwhelming majority of Governors and majority of Americans. Even members of Obama’s own party have raised doubts about his decision to proceed with resettlement. Thirty seven Democrats joined with the Republican majority in passing HR 4038.

In the absence of any action by this President to moderate his position, it is clearly up to Congress to take the lead. They have taken the first step in passing HR4038. There are two very important bills that would give us additional protections in stemming the tide of un-vetted refugees coming to our country. Please see the bill summaries by visiting our web site at www.coastalcaolinaaction.com.

HR3314 - The Resettlement Accountability National Security Act of 2015

HR 3573 - Refugee Resettlement Oversight and Security Act of 2015

HR 4038 – American SAFE Act of 2015 (Passed House 289-137 Veto Proof Majority)

Here is what you need to do. Thank your Congressmen for voting for HR 4038. Ask them to uphold the vote on HR 4038 when Obama veto's this Bill. Contact your Senators and ask them to bring pressure on Senator Mitch McConnell to schedule a hearing on the American SAFE Act of 2015. We cannot wait for this to be done. Let your Congressman know of your support for HR3314 or HR3573. Ask them to defund the 1.2 Billion Refugee Resettlement Program

Thank you for taking these critical action steps.
