It is with pleasure I announce the appointment of temporary leadership of the United American Committee while I will be away until August. We will be lead by several qualified and capable individuals during my absence: Retired Navy Commander Allyn Rowley, and retired Foreign Service Officer Jim Horn, will be acting Chairman and Vice-Chair respectively effective immediately.

Acting UAC Chairman Al Rowley, a retired U.S. Navy Commander, is a veteran of over 21 years service during the Cold War. His extensive study of Islam leads him to believe that militant Islam, coupled with illegal immigration, pose greater threats to our freedom and our Constitution than did Soviet communism. Al's Navy experience took him to over 40 countries. He also holds an MS in Management Science. Al can be reached at al@unitedamericancommittee.org

Acting UAC Vice-Chairman Jim Horn is a retired U.S. Foreign Service Officer (American Diplomat) who served abroad for more than a quarter of a century working with the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency, mostly in third-world countries, more than ten of those years in the Middle East, where he observed, studied, and became intimately familiar with Islam. He understands the reasons why the Islamic world has been (and remains) in conflict with civilized societies. Jim can be reached at jim@unitedamericancommittee.org

In addition, we have brought aboard advisors who will assist Allyn and Jim, and we ask that all of our members continue to help build and support the organization and give our leadership guidance and purpose. We are doing a lot of good in this battle against radical Islam, and are truly having a remarkable effect on our society when it comes to educating, awakening, and influencing our nation regarding the true nature of our Islamist enemies.

Sincerely,

Jesse Petrilla
Founder, United American Committee
