ACLJ to Obama Administration: Stop Sending U.S. Taxpayer Dollars to Egypt & Libya

Call to End Policy of "Appeasement and Apologies"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13, 2012—In less than 24 hours, the American Canter for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has heard from more than 5,500 Americans demanding that the Obama administration stop sending U.S. taxpayer dollars to Middle Eastern countries that permit and support terrorism by Islamic extremists bent on destroying America. In an effort to protect U.S. taxpayer dollars, the ACLJ is calling on the Obama Administration to ends it foreign policy of "appeasement and apologies."

"The anti-American violence at the direction of Islamic extremists is not only very troubling, but amplifies what can only be described as a failed foreign policy by the Obama Administration," said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ. "At a time when President Obama refuses to meet face-to-face with the Prime Minister of Israel, our most important ally in the region, the Obama Administration continues to send billions of taxpayer dollars to countries that permit and support the terrorism of radical Islamists bent on destroying America. It’s time to bring an end to a foreign policy of appeasement and apologies. We're calling on the Obama Administration to cut off funding to Libya and Egypt until stable governments - which support America - are put in place."

Led by Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, the American Center for Law and Justice focuses on constitutional law and is based in Washington.
