ANNOUNCING ACT! FOR AMERICA’S
CHAPTER LEADER OF THE MONTH!

By Kelly Cook, National Field Director


It is my pleasure to announce ACT! for America’s newest “Chapter Leader of the Month”! This feature highlights the activities of our various chapters operating all over the U.S. We regularly receive updates from our hard working volunteer chapter leaders and will be sharing with you “the inside scoop” on their many successes.

You may not be aware of what our 325 chapters accomplish or how essential strong chapters are to our success in confronting radical Islam.

The importance of a strong chapter network cannot be overstated! If we have it, we will win large victories. If we don’t, we are just another footnote in history—we’re irrelevant—able to win only the smallest of battles. Which will it be?

You may be wondering, “How does a volunteer chapter leader accomplish anything in the midst of a busy life? How do they run a family, a business and a chapter?” I learned a long time ago to delegate important tasks and responsibilities to busy people. They have a knack for multi-tasking and always allowing the highest priorities to rise to the top of their task lists!

The recipient of this month’s award is no exception to this rule. It is my pleasure to announce that our Chapter Leader of the Month Award is: Daniel of the West Nashville Chapter in Tennessee!

I so appreciate Daniel! His determination to make a lasting difference is evident to all who work with him!

I happened to mention to him that I was seriously considering him for this award. His immediate response? “Give it to someone who could really use the encouragement. I’m in this long term, whether I get recognition or not.”

As soon as he said this, I confirmed to myself that Daniel is in this effort for the right reasons—he has an overwhelming desire to defend this country, no matter what, regardless of who does or doesn’t get the credit!

Here are just a few of the West Nashville Chapter’s accomplishments under the direction of Daniel:

    • A series of highly successful film screenings that have attracted as many as 300 people for each of the events! His email list is over 400 names.
    • A great newsletter and website that is full of articles and specific tasks people can do to get involved.
    • Daniel has designed a clearing house system for linking volunteers to vital projects. This system will allow potential volunteers to review the possibilities for their involvement and allow them to sign up online. The system will eventually be a statewide project list for all the chapters in Tennessee to participate in.
    • Daniel is also one of 16 mentors nationally who have great chapters and also have the time to mentor brand new chapters through their various stages of growth.
    • The chapter is actively reaching out to elected officials in the new Stop Sharia Now Campaign to stem the flow of U.S. investments flowing directly into the hands of jihadists.
    • Daniel values the Patriot Partner monthly giving program and consistently promotes it in his chapter. He is generous himself and works hard to help raise the vital resources necessary to keep ACT! for America in a solid financial position.
I often receive emails from Daniel that were written between midnight and 2 A.M.! I wish I could clone his energy and passion to make a huge difference in the fight against radical / political Islam. Though I won’t be revealing his business, Daniel is also a highly respected professional in his field. He’s very busy and yet still carves out quality time for the chapter.

What about you? Consider starting or helping a chapter today. Realize that combined with a small monthly Patriot Partner pledge of at least $20 to ACT! for America, this is the single most important thing you can do to stop radical Islam cold. You are needed!

Daniel is growing a fantastic chapter in Tennessee, yet realistically, individual localized efforts make only a small impact on the national scale. But when hundreds of others join the effort with new chapters, we become a formidable force in Washington, DC, and in the state capitols.

Don’t assume that, if you have limited time, you have to build a large, mega chapter! We have many successful chapters that are small, with just a few friends involved, but are very effective! It is always better to do something well than to do nothing at all.

Please join Daniel and hundreds of other ACT! for America chapter leaders by clicking here to sign up today!

Respectfully,

Kelly Cook
National Field Director
