LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT!!

FAIRFAX COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
TO MEET TOMORROW, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19TH, ON
ISLAMIC SAUDI ACADEMY’S LEASE RENEWAL REQUEST

SHOW YOUR OPPOSITION BY ATTENDING THIS MEETING!

By Kelly Cook, National Field Director and
Lisa Piraneo, Director of Government Relations

Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 19^th, at 5:00 p.m. EDT, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to hold a Public hearing on extending the current Lease of County-owned property located at 8333 Richmond Highway in Alexandria, Virginia, to The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia for the purpose of operating the Islamic Saudi Academy. The current lease expires on June 30, 2011, and the requested lease extension is until June 30, 2012, with the option to extend the lease for two additional one-year periods.

We continue to be extremely concerned about many issues surrounding the Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA), a school owned, funded, and controlled by the government of Saudi Arabia—including their Islamic Studies curriculum, patterns of anti-American, anti-Semitic, and anti-Christian activity, and the numerous terrorism-related activities, including arrests and convictions of former ISA students.

If at all possible, please do your best to attend tomorrow afternoon’s hearing to show your opposition to the requested lease renewal and to let the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors know your view that there is no place for an institution that teaches a radical, violent ideology in Northern Virginia—or anywhere else in our nation.

SPECIFICS:

WHEN:	Tuesday, October 19, 2010 @ 5:00 P.M. EDT.
WHERE:	Fairfax County Government Center, Board Auditorium, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, VA 22035

REMEMBER, YOUR VOICE COUNTS!
IF EACH OF US DOES JUST A LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN
ACCOMPLISH A LOT!
