Encouraged US House Speaker Mike Johnson to move forward with a vote to approve or reject the impeachment inquiry into the Biden corruption scandal. Florida Family Association email campaigns resulted in thousands of emails being sent to Speaker Johnson stating in part: Please use your leadership to muster the votes to start an impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden. The House voted down party lines on December 13, 2023 to approve the impeachment inquiry. 221 Republicans voted Yes and 212 Democrats voted No. The vote was deemed important to show authority and support to the courts to enforce the subpoenas of witnesses and documents. What is to be gained from the impeachment proceedings? Americans deserve to know all the facts regarding the allegations of Biden family pay to play corruption which threatens national security and American leadership domestically and internationally especially during this election year. The impeachment inquiry proceedings will start in January 2024 and continue for several months. More info.
Encouraged US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to move forward with impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy commented that he was looking at moving forward with impeachment inquiry proceedings regarding Joe Biden’s pay for play backdoor business. However, Speaker McCarthy had not made up his mind. So Florida Family Association launched online and postcard campaigns to encourage Speaker McCarthy to move forward with the impeachment inquiry. Nearly 22,000 people sent emails and/or postcards to Speaker McCarthy. Shortly afterwards the US House moved forward with the impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden. An inquiry is not the same as impeachment proceedings which will require a separate action by the House of Representatives. More info.
Helped influence USC to allow a Jewish professor to return to campus after he was suspended for saying Hamas murderers should be killed. The Los Angeles Times reported: “A Jewish professor at USC confronted pro-Palestinian students. He’s now barred from campus.” Florida Family Association launched an email campaign on November 27, 2023 titled: USC suspends Jewish professor who said Hamas murderers should be killed. The campaign gave subscribers the opportunity to send emails to four top USC officials which stated in part: "Tens of millions of Americans strongly believe in the statements expressed by John Strauss regarding Hamas. Millions of people have exercised their First Amendment Rights since October 7, 2023 by expressing similar sentiments. John Strauss is entitled to his views and the right to share them. Please fully restore John Strauss to his rightful position and status at USC." The LA Times published a report on Saturday, December 2, 2023 titled Jewish USC professor, who was barred from campus over Hamas comments, allowed to return. Another organization supported online petitions. A special thanks to everyone who sent emails on this campaign. Your email made a difference.
Challenged MIT to take stronger action against students who physically encountered, verbally abused and or threatened Jewish students. The New York Post published an article titled Jewish students at MIT blocked from attending classes by ‘hostile’ anti-Israel protesters. MIT President Sally Kornbluth responded by saying MIT will suspend a handful of students from “non-academic” activities on campus. Administrators stopped short of suspending students outright because of “serious concerns about collateral consequences for the students, such as visa issues,” Kornbluth wrote. Suspending students just from “non-academic” activities is like restricting a domestic abuser from the bedroom but allowing the abuser to stay in the kitchen, living room and bathroom. This action does not eliminate the heightened danger to Jewish students from the campus. Florida Family Association launched an online campaign for people to urge MIT President Sally Kornbluth and staff to fully suspend students from all campus activities who physically encountered, verbally abused and or threatened Jewish students and suspend the Coalition Against Apartheid (CAA).

Challenged Bud Light’s pact with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. Anheuser-Busch defended transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney appearing to be used as a Bud Light spokesperson after the beer maker celebrated "365 Days of Girlhood," saying the pact helps "authentically connect with audiences." The trans activist revealed that the beer company sent packs of Bud Light featuring the influencer’s face as a way to celebrate a full year of "girlhood" that Mulvaney recently reached. Mulvaney said the cans were his "most prized possession" on Instagram with a post featuring "#budlightpartner." A video featured Mulvaney in a bathtub drinking a Bud Light beer was part of the campaign. Florida Family Association launched several email and postcard campaigns to educate people regarding the issue and encourage them to express disappointment in the companies transgender promotion. This campaign is still active.
Thanked a federal judge for upholding West Virginia’s “Save Women's Sports” law barring trans athletes from girls' sports teams. Judge Joseph R. Goodwin of the Southern District of West Virginia ruled on that West Virginia H.B. 3293, the "Save Women's Sports Bill," which defines "girl" and "woman" as biologically female for the purpose of secondary school sports, is "constitutionally permissible." The court found that West Virginia's definition of "biological sex" for school sports is "substantially related to its important interest in providing equal athletic opportunities for females." "While some females may be able to outperform some males, it is generally accepted that, on average, males outperform females athletically because of inherent physical differences between the sexes. This is not an overbroad generalization, but rather a general principle that realistically reflects the average physical differences between the sexes," Goodwin wrote. Florida Family Association launched an email and postcard campaign that thanked the judge. This campaign is still active.
Countered CAIR pressure on Johns Hopkins Medicine to fire Jewish doctor for posts about Hamas led Palestine. The Maryland office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called on Johns Hopkins Medicine to terminate Dr. Darren Klugman, a pediatric ICU unit director’s employment at its Children’s Center in Baltimore, and for the Maryland Board of Physicians to revoke his medical license, after the doctor reportedly admitted to posts critical of Palestinians. Johns Hopkins Medicine suspended Dr. Klugman and has removed him from references and directories on its website. It is truly an injustice that Johns Hopkins Medicine responded to anti-Semitic, terror-linked and Hamas linked Council On American Islamic Relations by taking such action against an esteemed physician. Florida Family Association launched an online campaign to urge Johns Hopkins Medicine not to give more power to anti-Semitism in America by siding with the malcontent, anti-Semitic, terror-linked and Hamas linked CAIR. The call to action urged its officials to restore Dr. Darren Klugman to his rightful position and status at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Urged Kohl’s to stop selling LGBTQ+ clothes for babies and children. Florida Family Association launched an online and postcard campaign to urge Kohl's to stop selling LGBTQ clothing for infants and young kids. The online campaign is still active.
Urged House holdout votes to support removing Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs Committee for her hostile Islamist doctrine and hate for Israel. Florida Family Association prepared an email for people to send to each of the hold out GOP reps that declared Ilhan Omar’s passion for hostile Islamist doctrine and hate for Israel should disqualify her from serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Florida Family Association sent out two email alerts the first titled “3 GOP US Representative holdouts may jeopardize removal of Ilhan Omar from Committee on Foreign Affairs” and the second titled “Rep Spartz says she will now vote to remove Omar from committee. Now 2 GOP US Representative holdouts may jeopardize removal of Ilhan Omar from Committee on Foreign Affairs. Thousands of people sent emails. The vote succeeded. Omar was removed from the committee. More info.
Countered terror linked CAIR’s pressure on the Oklahoma City Police Department to disregard the Federal Terror Watchlist during its investigations. In a stipulation filed with the Oklahoma City federal court the Oklahoma City Police Department acknowledged that “neither Saadiq Long nor any other person should be stopped by officers based solely on that individual’s status on the FBI’s watchlist. The wording in the affidavit stating “based solely on that individual’s status on the FBI watch list” appears to mean that the police department may still use the watch list in conjunction with “other” law enforcement intelligence. Which means the heading of CAIR’s press release stating that “OKC Police’s Decision to Instruct its Officers to Disregard FBI Watchlist” is misleading. Florida Family Association launched an online campaign that provided people with the opportunity to send an email to urge the Oklahoma City Police Department Chief of Police not to be intimidated by CAIR and continue to use the Terror Watchlist when and where appropriate to enhance public safety. The online campaign is still active.
Urged Hershey's to stop using a transgender woman in its International Women's Day promotion. Fae Johnstone, a biological male who identifies as female, was one of the five women at the center of a Canadian advertising video promoting Hershey's SHE bar. No matter how hard a man tries he can NEVER be a woman. Saying a man can be a woman defies science. Promoting a trans woman as if he is a woman is insulting to women and lying to children. Florida Family Association launched an email campaign that urged Hershey’s CEO to stick to making chocolate and stop pushing woke lies with its transgender propaganda. The online campaign is still active.
Urged Target and Wal-Mart to stop selling books for kids that attempt to influence them to be trans or gay. The content of the books titled Bye Bye Binary, Peanut Goes for the Gold, Red A Crayon’s Story and Riley Weaver Needs a Date to the Gaybutante Ball are far too LGBTQ for kindergarten and elementary school kids to struggle with. Florida Family Association launched an email and postcard campaign that urged both companies to stop selling books that promote the trans and gay lifestyle to children. The Target online campaign is still active. The Walmart campaign is still alive.
Called on Ford to drop the “Very Gay Raptor” woke promotion that is still alive on the Ford website. Ford’s continuation of the “Very Gay Raptor” promotion on its website makes it fair game for consumers to complain about the automaker’s wokeness. Sadly, the words “Redefine Tough” can easily be interpreted that Ford is endorsing the destructive transgender lifestyle. Florida Family Association launched an email and postcard campaign that calls on the company to remove the promotion from its website. The online campaign is still active.
Helped influence Sheraton Mesa Hotel in Arizona to cancel CAIR banquet with Rashida Tlaib as speaker. The Sheraton Mesa Hotel in Arizona was planning to host the Council on American Islamic Relations Arizona fundraising banquet on November 18, 2023. Anti-Semite Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was to be CAIR’s special guest speaker. Florida Family Association launched an email alert that urged people to send emails to express concern to Sheraton Mesa and Marriott officials regarding the CAIR Arizona banquet with speaker Rashida Tlaib. The CAIR-AZ.org web site was checked every day to see if the event had been cancelled. The Arizona Republic reported that CAIR and Sheraton Mesa Hotel officials discussed cancelling the event after the banquet was targeted by a petition drive. However, CAIR-AZ.org continued to sell tickets online through Sunday, October 5, 2023. Florida Family Association continued to keep its call to action active alive until CAIR-AZ.org stopped selling tickets. More info.

The U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights planned a conference for October 27 – 29, 2023 at the Hilton Houston-Post Oak by the Galleria in Houston. The event included proud Jew-haters Rashida Tlaib, Linda Sarsour, Marc Lamont Hill, and Omar Barghouti as featured speakers. This event would certainly stimulate and escalate anti-Semitism and hate towards Jewish Americans among the conference’s attendees. Several groups and individuals posted calls to action on social media that urged the hotel to cancel the event. Florida Family Association launched an email and postcard campaign that urged people to thank Hilton for cancelling the event and urged Hilton to prevent organizations like the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights and Council on American Islamic Relations that promote anti-Semitism from using Hilton hotel facilities to further their hatred toward Jews. The online campaign is still active.
Thanked Marriott Crystal Gateway in Arlington for cancelling terror-linked, pro-Hamas Council on American Islamic Relations banquet and urged it to maintain that policy in the future. The Council on American Islamic Relations planned its annual banquet at the Marriott Crystal Gateway in Arlington for October 23, 2023. At least two pro-Israel advocacy groups urged members to call on Marriott to cancel the CAIR gathering, including the Endowment for Middle East Truth and the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA). Florida Family Association launched an email and postcard campaign that urged people to thank the Marriott Crystal Gateway general manager and Marriott for cancelling the Council on American Islamic Relations conference and urge them not to book events in the future for terror-linked groups that have had relations with Hamas.

Thanked Citibank for firing a Muslim banker after she defended Hitler and the Holocaust in the wake of Hamas attacks in Israel. Dailymail.co.uk published an article titled Citibank fires glamorous banker Nozima Husainova after she posted a vile anti-Semitic post about Jewish people following Hamas terror attacks: 'No wonder Hitler wanted to get rid of them.' A spokesman for Citi branded Husainova's comments as 'revolting' and said hate speech would not be tolerated in their bank.

Urged the Mars company to stop pushing Black Trans Lives Matter and LGBTQ+ candy packaging for kids. The company produced LGBTQ+ packaging for several of its products. But the packaging that raised the biggest concern shows a few kids on skateboards riding on a halfpipe with the phrases "skate & live," "joy is resistance," and "black trans lives matter" written on it. Mars is using Skittles packaging to corrupt the innocence of children with transgender and Lesbian Gay Bi-Sexual Transgender Queer Plus (LGBTQ+) propaganda. Introducing children to transgender false narratives and LGBTQ+ lifestyles is reckless and shameful. Florida Family Association launched online and postcard campaigns to express concern to Mars officials for using candy packaging to corrupt the innocence of children with transgender and Lesbian Gay Bi-Sexual Transgender Queer Plus (LGBTQ+) propaganda. The online campaign is still active.
Confronted Dove, owned by Unilever, for hiring BLM activist Zyahna Bryant who ruined white student Morgan Bettinger's life. Dove announced a partnership with Zyahna Bryant, a BLM activist who accused a white student of threatening protesters - then admitted she misheard. X owner Elon Musk himself weighed in on Dove's partnership with Bryant, which was first reported by DailyMail.com, by branding it 'messed up.' Bryant claimed that she had overheard a white student named Morgan Bettinger threaten Black Lives Matter protesters in Charlottesville in July 2020. But Bryant later admitted she may have 'misheard', after gleefully watching and joining-in as Bettinger was canceled and her life was destroyed. Bettinger was subjected to a torrent of abuse and a campaign to remove her from UVA. Staff and students ganged up against her and scuppered her future prospects. Florida Family Association launched an email and postcard campaign that urged people to express concern to Unilever officials regarding the Dove soap partnership with BLM activist Zyahna Bryant.

Called on the Nashville Mayor, Chief of Police and state court judge to release the manifesto and other documents written by the trans mass murderer Audrey Hale who killed six people in a Nashville Christian school. If public knowledge of the types of threats, mode of operation and proposed targets stated in Audrey Hale’s manifesto and papers gathered by Nashville Police can help other schools, churches and police to protect American lives in the future then it is incumbent on the Nashville Police Department to make public the manifesto and papers. Florida Family Association launched online campaigns to encourage the Nashville Police and judge presiding over the dispute to release Audrey Hale’s manifesto and papers gathered by Nashville Police.

Confronted American Girl guide for advising children as young as three on how to change their gender even without their parents. The popular American Girl doll brand started pushing children as young as three years old into changing their gender. American Girl’s “A Smart Girl's Guide: Body Image” contained lines that give advice to prepubescents on how to change their gender - without their guardians' blessing. A passage in the book - marketed to girls aged between three and 12 advises: 'If you haven't gone through puberty yet, the doctor might offer medicine to delay your body's changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity.' It also provided a list of resources for organizations the children can turn to 'if you don't have an adult you trust'. Florida Family Association launched an email and postcard campaign that urged Mattel to discontinue the guide and stop such harmful advocacy against children. This onlin campaign is still active.

The online campaign is still active.
Influenced 407 out of 500 companies (81%) to stop advertising on The ReidOut. Joy Reid supports defund the police movement, defends Black Lives Matter riots, promotes reparations, advocates Critical Race Theory and disparages white people especially Christian and Jewish white people. The host, sit in hosts and some contributors practice anti-white hate that is offensive, racist and likely inspires hate among some viewers of this show. Florida Family Association started contacting companies that advertised on The ReidOut show in November 2021. Florida Family Association cannot fight ALL of the anti-white woke racist shows but it can fight the worst one with ALL it has. Why is this campaign important? The ReidOut, Joy Reid on MSNBC, is one of the most racist and pro-Critical Race Theory shows on television. Florida Family Association's first objective is to successfully encourage these companies to stop advertising. However, the second objective which is just as important if not more important is that these companies need to know that there are many people, many consumers, who are adamantly opposed to Critical Race Theory and the Black Lives Matter movement. Many of these companies are embracing or considering Critical Race Theory in their own policies. Office emails and the emails from thousands of Florida Family Association supporters counter the leftist pressure on these companies to embrace Critical Race Theory. Apart from this campaign regarding, The ReidOut these companies may never receive a significant number of opposing comments regarding Critical Race Theory. More info.
Influenced 2,388 out of 2,425 companies to stop advertising at HuffPost. HuffPost.com supports the Islamist political agenda and spews vitriolic propaganda that inspires leftist hate. HuffPost.com calls America’s military racists, fundraises for CAIR, defends the Muslim Brotherhood and publishes Islamist propaganda. HuffPost propaganda mocks, belittles and blames people who are concerned about radical Islam in a manner that impairs the willingness of some people to speak up for public safety. Islamophobia propaganda is the top tool Islamists use to influence Americans to ignore advancement of Sharia doctrine in America. Florida Family Association started sending emails in April 2016 to encourage the CEO and Marketing Vice President of companies that advertise at Huffpost.com to stop supporting the website's propaganda with its customers’ money. HuffPost’s new parent company BuzzFeed, who purchased HuffPost from Verizon in early 2021, stock dropped 97% during the two years ended November 16, 2023. “Though BuzzFeed is a profitable company, we don’t have the resources to support another two years of losses,” Peretti said. The two years Peretti spoke of ended in January 2023. HuffPost significantly increased the number of new companies that advertise on its forum this year. More info.
Influenced 1,094 out of 1,105 companies to stop advertising at Aljazeera.com aka Al Jazeera America. Aljazeera.com is referred to as Al Jazeera America by web news feeds. Al Jazeera, whose leaders espouse hate for Israel, who showed disdain for Paris murder victims, is a news company that is owned by the non-democratic, monarch-styled emirate of Qatar. Qatar allowed wealthy citizens to financially support ISIS, supported the Muslim Brotherhood, backed the head of Hamas, espouses Islamic Sharia law and does not afford citizens freedom of the press. Eighty one percent of 38,000 respondents to an Al Jazeera survey said they support ISIS. Many of Al Jazeera's employees have actively supported al-Qaida, Hamas and other terrorist groups. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt demanded that Qatar take numerous steps to cut their support for terrorism including the closure of Al Jazeera. American companies that advertise with Aljazeera.com are giving United States consumer dollars to an Islamist-Sharia minded regime. FFA’s communications with advertisers informs Corporate America about Qatar’s history and Islamist public policy and educates corporate officials about Sharia law. More info.
