<p>Anne, <br>
<br>
<span>Jim Crow laws. The Hollywood blacklist. Internment camps. These are some of the darkest moments in American history. And in 2015, we’re on course to repeat them.
<strong>We risk being a nation led by fear and hate unless we stand united and fight back against right-wing Republicans and some Democrats</strong>, who are poised to betray the very values that have made our country a beacon of light for millions of people
around the world.</span><br>
<br>
<strong><a href="http://act.couragecampaign.org/sign/SyrianRefugees/?t=2&akid=2332.1469812.r6tWbD">SIGN THE PETITION: Tell your U.S. Senators to stand with President Obama and not turn their backs on children, women, and families seeking safety from war-torn
Syria.</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://act.couragecampaign.org/sign/SyrianRefugees/?t=3&akid=2332.1469812.r6tWbD"><strong><img alt="" style="margin: 3px 5px; float: right; outline: medium none; text-decoration: none; border: medium none; -moz-user-select: none;" height="244" width="300" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.couragecampaign.org/images/Accountability_Syrian_Refugees_Email_Graphic.jpg"></strong></a></p>
<p><span>As millions of us sit down to give thanks and share a feast with our families today, FOUR MILLION Syrian refugees can hardly imagine such a blessing. <em>These Syrian families are fleeing the towns and cities where their ancestors have lived for generations
to ESCAPE violent extremism, NOT to spread it.</em> They see the United States as a tolerant society where they can find safe haven after surviving unimaginable horrors.
<strong>We MUST provide that refuge and honor the immortal words inscribed on the Statue of Liberty:
</strong><em>“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me.”</em><span style="font-size:xx-small">(1)</span></span><br>
<br>
<span>But in light of the recent attacks on Paris, right-wing Republicans and some Democrats are being overpowered by fear and bigotry, not logic and goodwill. To these extremists in Congress, facts don’t matter. Despite the fact that
<strong>refugees undergo a rigorous screening process that can take up to THREE YEARS</strong>, these so-called American leaders refuse to even consider allowing refugees --
<em>the overwhelming majority of whom are women and children under the age of 12</em> -- from entering the United States.<span style="font-size:xx-small">(2)</span> The screening process is so painstaking that only 1,999 Syrian refugees have been admitted
into the U.S.. That’s just 0.05% of all the refugees.<span style="font-size:xx-small">(3)</span> Also,
<strong>not one terrorist attack has been committed in U.S. by a refugee.</strong><span style="font-size:xx-small">(4)</span> Despite these facts, these members of Congress are using our vulnerability to stoke fear for political gain.</span><br>
<br>
<strong><a href="http://act.couragecampaign.org/sign/SyrianRefugees/?t=4&akid=2332.1469812.r6tWbD">JOIN US: Tell your U.S. Senators to honor the immortal words on the Statue of Liberty and vote “NO” on any anti-refugee legislation.</a></strong><br>
<br>
<span>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has started a fast-track process to bring up the anti-refugee legislation -- House Resolution (H.R.) 4038 -- passed by the House of Representatives with a veto-proof majority last Thursday.<span style="font-size:xx-small">(5)</span>
<strong>If it now passes the Senate, it could slam the door on refugees and open the floodgates for more anti-refugee legislation.</strong><span style="font-size:xx-small">(6)</span></span><br>
<br>
<span>And this hateful, anti-Muslim fear mongering is spiraling out of control beyond Washington.
<strong>Presidential candidate Donald Trump wants to create a database that tracks Muslim Americans and require Muslims Americans to wear identification badges</strong>.<span style="font-size:xx-small">(7)</span> Another presidential candidate -- Chris Christie
-- doesn’t even want the United States to provide refuge for orphans under the age of five!<span style="font-size:xx-small">(8)</span></span><br>
<br>
<span><strong>This is the same dangerous line of thinking that leads to hate crimes and wars.</strong> The same tainted logic that led the United States to close its borders to many Jewish refugees during World War II, including children like Anne Frank.<span style="font-size:xx-small">(9)</span>
By passing H.R. 4038 and other anti-refugee legislation, we're letting terrorists win by tossing aside our values due to panic and paranoia.</span><br>
<br>

<br>
<span>Throughout history, refugees have played a central role in the American story. Albert Einstein, Steve Job's biological father Abdulfattah “John” Jandali, Madeleine Albright -- they all found safety and opportunity through the “golden door” while fleeing
violent wars and genocidal conflict.<span style="font-size:xx-small">(10)</span></span><br>
<br>
<span><strong>Closing our doors to Syrian refugees -- who are fleeing their war-torn country -- does not uphold the Americans values we stand for.</strong> And as right-wing extremists in Congress continue to try and replace our values with fear, we as Americans
must ask ourselves, <em>“When we strip America down to its core, what do we want to find?”</em></span><br>
<br>
<strong><a href="http://act.couragecampaign.org/sign/SyrianRefugees/?t=6&akid=2332.1469812.r6tWbD">Tell our Senate leaders that we are a nation of generosity, empathy, and compassion, NOT fear, prejudice, and xenophobia.</a></strong><br>
<br>
<span>Thank you for being someone who stands for compassion and human rights,</span><br>
