Attention to those who live around the Tulsa, OK metropolitan area!
ACT for America is sponsoring a rally for Paul Fields a Tulsa Police Department Officer unjustly punished for refusing to attend a Police appreciation day event at the Islamic Society of Tulsa (IST) Mosque. I understand that Fields was suspended without pay and demoted for refusing to attend the Mosque. IST is closely associated with the Muslim Brotherhood which is a radical Muslim branch of Islam, you know, the kind of Islam that wishes Muslims to follow a purist ideology which is largely responsible for Islamic terrorism today.
KNOWING this about IST and that Chief Chuck Jordan punished Paul Fields for refusing to attend a meeting at a Mosque associated with Radical Islam and knowing that IST was going to embark on a proselytizing Islamic message, Fields was fully within his Constitutional rights inherent in the First Amendment to refuse attendance WITHOUT an expectation of retribution.
WE MUST SHOW SUPPORT for Paul Fields by showing up to this rally in Tulsa, OK sponsored by ACT for America!

Help us Mobilize the Largest Crowd Possible For Police Captain Paul Fields At the Tulsa Rally on August 30
On Tuesday, August 30th, ACT! for America Executive Director Guy Rodgers and National Field Director Kelly Cook will be in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for our rally calling for the full reinstatement of Captain Paul Fields.
As you are probably aware, Captain Fields has been significantly punished by the Tulsa Police Dept for respectfully declining to attend a mandatory Friday afternoon indoctrination in a local Mosque. There was no call for police protection, only a mandate that the officers attend the Islamic worship service. It only became a mandatory requirement after Fields declined the initial “voluntary” request that he be there!
Can you imagine what would have happened if a Muslim police officer had been required to attend a Sunday morning worship service at a Christian church? The “politically correct” would have come unhinged—and frankly that is why this would never happen. The double standard on display here is breathtaking.
Captain Fields’ First Amendment rights have been violated. We refuse to stand by and let a good man be punished for simply following his personal convictions!
Will you join us in Tulsa to support this great man?
If you live in the area, plan to be in the area, or can travel from where you live, please join us for this important event!

Thank you for your serious consideration in helping us support Captain Fields. Rest assured the officials of the City of Tulsa (and cities across the nation!) will be watching. It is critical that we have a large show of support. We must send a message that people of conviction will be supported wherever injustice is served.

WHERE: Chapman Centennial Green Park, 600 S. Main St, Tulsa
