Letter to the editor: Rebuttal for Activate America

There have been two recent letters promoting Activate America. Not a single mention in either letter that Activate America is a Democrat progressive Activist organization. What a deceptive ruse. Activate America is mobilized, mobilized on steroids. Their mission: electing Democrats to the U.S. Senate and House, defeating Trump’s “America First” agenda.

Their website states: Stop The War In Iran. This is shocking. Does Activate America support Iran’s development of nuclear weapons capable of hitting the U.S.? President Trump has been the only president in the last 47 years to take this issue head on and once and for all, prevent Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Activate America held an Immigrant Justice virtual event stating: “Immigration Detention Destroys Our Community. End It Now! Close The Camps. Ice Out Of Our City!!!” This message should be a big red flag, folks.

We need ICE. Here’s why: ICE reported carrying out 356,389 total criminal illegal alien deportations during Fiscal Year 2026 by mid-July. The Department of Homeland Security states that prioritized targets include individuals convicted of serious crimes such as homicide, drunk driving, sexual assault, drug trafficking, and dealing and manufacturing firearms. Government data indicates that 60% to 70% of total ICE arrests have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. With deportations up, crime rates have fallen to historic lows.

President Trump prioritizes the safety and security of the American People over illegal alien criminals. Does Activate America prioritize illegal alien criminals over the safety and security of the American people? This is a question that needs to be asked.

Activate America believes in: defending abortion rights (means abortion up to and including birth); gun violence prevention reforms (means gun confiscation); climate crisis urgency (means eliminate fossil fuels); affordable health care for ALL (means illegal aliens get free taxpayer funded health care); strengthening voter rights (means no voter ID).

Activate America openly promotes defunding the Department of Homeland Security which oversees ICE and CBP. Are you OK with this agenda, folks?

Republicans, are you paying attention? Register to vote now!!
