Homeland Security warns of dangers from hate groups
April 16, 2009
Dear Friend,
As you may recall, we’ve recently documented 926 hate groups operating
in the U.S. These organizations are being fueled by immigration fears,
the faltering economy and the racist backlash to the election of
President Obama.
Now, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has just issued a new
alert warning of the dangers posed by these hate groups. It says that
“white supremacist lone wolves” and “small terrorist cells embracing
violent rightwing extremist ideology” are currently the most
significant domestic terrorism threat.
With your help, we’re fighting these groups every day by tracking and
exposing their activities. We’re also training law enforcement
officers and making sure they have the latest and best intelligence on
these dangerous extremists.
And we’ve warned the Pentagon about extremists who have infiltrated
the armed services. No one, of course, can forget the deadly toll of
the Oklahoma City bombing by Gulf War veteran Timothy McVeigh.
Please help us continue our critical work and counter this mounting
threat by sending a special gift today. We’ll keep you posted on
further developments. And remember to stand strong against hate
whenever and wherever you see it.
