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?

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.
Thank you again for all you do,
- Beth, Katie, Nick, Dan, Kristin and Jennifer
The Faithful America Team
