ADC Action Alert:
ADC Launches “Mail Back the Hate” Campaign

Organization Uses Voter Protection Unit to Respond to Politics of Hate Targeting Voters

Washington, DC | October 22, 2008 | http://www.adc.org | The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), in its continuing effort to combat hate and bigotry, has launched the “Mail Back the Hate” Campaign. This campaign is designed to counter the most recent attempt using the politics of fear as a tool to spread hate and division; the distribution of 28-million copies of “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War against the West.” This professionally produced but seditious and fear mongering DVD was inserted into millions of newspapers across the country distributed primarily in those crucial “swing” states including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado, Michigan, Florida, and Virginia among others. ADC has confirmed that the second phase of this project was started this past week with copies being mailed directly to voters across the country. The obvious intent by the New York-based Clarion Fund, which is responsible for this project, is to scare people and create hostility towards Arab and Muslim Americans as all Americans head to the polls on November 4th.

In response, ADC will use some of the resources of the recently-created Voter Protection Unit (VPU) by calling on all its supporters to mail back the hate and send the copies of “Obsession,” with their packages, to the ADC Voter Protection Unit. Those sending the DVD and its package may cover or remove their name and mailing address if they wish. Upon receipt of the DVD’s, ADC will mail back the packages of hate to the Clarion Fund. Please mail all DVD’s and their packages to:
