1 Act for America (Insert Chapter Location Here)
(Insert Month Here) Chapter Meeting

2 “I Stand with Israel” is an ACT For America Activism Campaign focused on standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel, fighting for its national security and defense against its enemies. We believe that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish State in the Middle East with Jerusalem as its capital. Israel is the United States' most reliable and only democratic ally in the region, and its security should be a paramount U.S. concern when dealing with the Middle East.
