Matching gift increased to $15K!

Matching Gift Offer Increased to $15,000! Due to the impact of our new radio ad, our generous donor has increased the matching gift offer from $10,000 to $15,000. Donate by July 22 to help place our radio ad in cities on Beck's tour route and your gift will be DOUBLED. Dear Supporter, After we launched our radio ad last week, Glenn Beck played the ad on his show, called us a "so-called religious" group (among other things), and claimed that we were trying to "smear" him. His listeners followed up by posting hundreds of hostile comments on our Facebook page. We need to show Glenn Beck and his fans that his views are not shared by all people of faith. Will you help place our radio ad on stations in the cities on Beck's summer tour? Click here to make a secure, tax-deductible gift to support our Driven By Faith campaign. Our matching donor was so impressed by the response to the campaign -- including some great press coverage -- that she's increased the match by $5,000.  Now all gifts made by midnight on July 22nd will be matched, dollar for dollar up to $15,000! Glenn Beck is quick to smear anyone who doesn't fit in with his ideology -- but he claims to speak for Christianity, so we are challenging him on what he thinks is his "home turf." The ad will run on Christian-themed radio stations on the days leading up to, during and after his events in cities across the country. Beck's next event is July 31st in Westbury, NY, followed by events in New Jersey, Washington, DC, and South Carolina. We know Beck will be spreading his usual distortions about faith and social justice -- he recently called Faithful America's advocacy "fascist" and "evil." Can we really afford to let Glenn Beck's outrageous claims go unchallenged? We don't think so. Help us ensure that the voices of extreme pundits like Beck and the leaders of the Tea Party movement are not the only ones Americans are hearing. Donate by July 22nd and your gift will be matched, dollar for dollar up to $15,000.

What's Glenn Beck afraid of?

What's Glenn Beck afraid of? From the comfort of his studio, Glenn Beck launches attacks on social justice and people of faith - but he's ignored every invitation for an honest, two-sided debate on these issues. Tell Glenn Beck: It's time to stop hiding and engage in an open debate. Dear Supporter, Our radio ad campaign is making an impact -- and Glenn Beck noticed. He played our ad on his show, calling Faithful America a "so-called religious" organization. And we're far from the first group he's attacked -- he's also gone after Sojourners, the National Council of Churches and Jewish Funds for Justice. But while Glenn Beck doesn't miss a chance to attack over the airwaves, he continues to dodge open debate. Ask Glenn Beck to participate in an open debate. Back in March, Rev. Jim Wallis of Sojourners, who has been one of Beck's favorite targets, offered to come on Beck's show and debate him in person. Beck's only response was to make more on-air attacks on Wallis, Sojourners and social justice. If Beck's sure enough of his point of view to broadcast it to millions of people, why is he dodging open debate? Ask Glenn Beck to stop hiding and engage in a meaningful, two-sided debate with a social justice leader. It's time for Glenn Beck to stop hiding and start engaging. Our campaign's getting great media coverage so far - if Glenn Beck continues to dodge the real issues, the world's going to know it. Let's show Glenn Beck we're not afraid to stand up for what we believe in. - Beth, Katie, Nick, Dan, Kristin and Jennifer The Faithful America Team P.S. Our radio ad has generated so much attention that our generous donor has agreed to increase the matching gift offer to $15,000! Your gift will be doubled if you donate by July 22nd.

Can we stop Bill Brady?

YES WE CAN!  (And we really, really need to!) We know you get asked for a lot during an election year, and we know that it's usually pretty hard to get a straight answer out of candidates-- especially when they support policies that are far, far outside the mainstream. So let us give it to you as straight as we can: If you're a woman or have a daughter, a mother, a sister, a wife, an aunt-- or even just a friend or a neighbor or a co-worker who is a woman-- then you have a very real reason to help us stop Bill Brady. Please take a minute to visit our new website, StopBillBrady.com, and watch the new video highlighting Bill Brady's opposition to working women, his opposition to paid family medical leave, his opposition to life-saving mammogram screenings and his opposition a woman's right to choose-- even in cases of rape or incest. Our daughters, and our state, deserve much better than Bill Brady. Watch the video here. It's hard to believe that someone who is so out of touch, so far to the right, and with such a terrible record on issues that impact so many of our families, could potentially be our next governor.   If you're as disturbed by this idea as we are, then you can help do something about it.   1- Visit  www.StopBillBrady.com, watch the new video, and make sure you get on the email list.  (We promise, we won't spam you.) 2- If you're on Facebook or Twitter, make sure you friend us and follow us. 3- Take a minute to click on one of the arrows on the website, and then share the message directly with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Sign the pledge today, and we'll send you a FREE bumper sticker -- just in time for the summer driving season. Dear Supporter, Two weeks ago, you helped kick off our "Driven by Faith, Not by Fear" campaign to counter the fear and lies of extreme pundits and Tea Partiers. By signing the pledge, thousands of you have already joined together to stand for hope instead of fear, boldly proclaiming your values with our new bumper sticker. Sign our pledge to be part of the campaign this summer. We've gotten word from the warehouse that the stickers are in, so watch your mailbox! If you haven't joined the campaign yet, take a minute to sign our pledge and get a FREE bumper sticker. Sign the pledge!  Speak up for your values and stand up to hate. The need is greater than ever… Later today, Senate Republicans will call religious right ideologue Tony Perkins to testify against Elena Kagan's Supreme Court nomination. Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, is known for hateful rhetoric and dishonesty. We are making sure reporters covering the hearing have the facts because anyone who has given a speech to a white-power hate group [1] and blamed the LGBT community for child abuse [2] and disease [3] should not be taken seriously as a Senate witness. We can't let up. But we need your support. Take the pledge today! Be part of the groundswell of people of faith reclaiming our civic discourse from extreme Tea Partiers and pundits like Tony Perkins.
