Most Americans are unaware of our country’s history with violent jihad and the enormous strides of “Cultural Jihad” that influence every aspect of our society. The Muslim Brotherhood has been at work here for decades with the intent to achieve the same success it has enjoyed in Europe. ACT!

 Robert Heffley is a chapter leader and leadership mentor for ACT! For America, the nation’s largest grass roots national security organization. Residing in Hampton, Virginia, he mentors chapter leaders in the Eastern U.S., assists in developing membership and new chapters, and represents ACT! For America at speaking and training events.

He and his wife, Catherine, have four grown children and one grandchild.

Here’s your chance to participate in the most massive abortion protest in U.S. History!

If you are wondering why “Red” Envelope Day is now “Life” Envelope Day, the answer is painfully simple. Our campaign was threatened with legal action by parties OUTSIDE the Pro-Life Movement, who took exception to use of the “red envelope” in the name we have used since 2010. We simply had no choice but to rename the campaign “Life Envelope Day”.
