The SCAM Act strengthens national security, protects American taxpayers, and reinforces the principle that citizenship cannot be obtained or retained through deception.

AMAC Supports Bill to Protect American Citizenship

The Honorable Tom Emmer
House Majority Whip
6th Congressional District of Minnesota
326 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Majority Whip Emmer,

On behalf of AMAC Action, the advocacy affiliate of the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC), with over 2 million members nationwide, I am writing to express our strong support for the Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation Act (SCAM Act).

American citizenship is a privilege that carries both rights and responsibilities. The naturalization process is built on good faith, on the understanding that applicants are truthful, law-abiding, and committed to the values and security of the United States. When that process is undermined by fraud or the commission of aggravated felonies shortly after naturalization, it erodes public trust and weakens the integrity of our immigration system.

Happy Winter! The latest issue of The Guide is now available for download as a PDF, Word document, or MP3 (audio) file at: SeeingEye.org/guide. The Winter 2026 issue features Seeing Eye graduate Heather Davis and her Seeing Eye dog, a golden retriever named Briana. The text reads: ‘Law Partners’.

Letters to the Editor

Radical Democrat Kathy Hochul and socialist Zohran Mamdani held a press conference to celebrate… higher taxes!

Yep, the pair actually bragged about the expensive and unpopular congestion pricing scheme and confirmed that tolls are “on schedule to go up,” eventually rising from $9 to $15.

This painful, cost-hiking agenda is the same one that every single New Jersey Democrat, including Nellie Pou, champions.

“Instead of fighting to make life more affordable, crazy Kathy Hochul, dangerous socialist Zohran Mamdani, and out of touch Democrat Nellie Pou are making New Jerseyans’ commutes more expensive. It is totally backwards and wrong.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole

Letters to the Editor

As has become our longstanding tradition, FACT closes each year with an annual “Top Violators” list from the prior 12 months. As we strongly head into 2026, here is our “Top Violators of 2025”.

FACT’s Top Ethics Violators of 2025:

1. U.S. Representative Sheila Cherfilus‑McCormick of Florida:
In early 2025, FACT filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Conduct alerting it to the fact that Rep. Cherfilus‑McCormick’s family‑owned company received a $5.8 million overpayment from the State of Florida for services that were never performed. Despite clear repayment obligations, the funds were retained. Concurrently, financial disclosure records and campaign‑finance filings raised red flags: income from related entities surged and a large loan was made to her prior congressional campaign, yet these changes did not align with reported personal assets. Based on these discrepancies, FACT referred her case to the U.S. Department of Justice. Later in the year, she was federally indicted, confirming the gravity of the alleged misconduct. This is among the most significant ethics breaches FACT has documented in 2025, involving misuse of public funds, opaque financial maneuvering, and campaign‑finance irregularities.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: FIRE THE COACH

I place full blame for Sunday’s loss squarely on Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni. His decision to bench the starters was a costly mistake. The Eagles fell to Washington 24–17, and with that loss, they missed a golden opportunity to secure the NFC’s No. 2 seed. Instead, they’re stuck at No. 3 and now face a red-hot 49ers team next week.
Had the Eagles won, they would’ve earned two home playoff games. Now, they’ll only get one. That’s a massive difference in postseason advantage. The 49ers, led by MVP-caliber running back Christian McCaffrey—who’s also a dangerous receiving threat—have won six straight before falling to the top-seeded Seahawks on Saturday night. Their recent victories include:
Bears by 4
Panthers by 11
Colts by 21
Rams by 3 (in OT)
Seahawks by 4
If we had clinched the No. 2 seed, we’d be facing the Packers instead—a far more favorable matchup. Earlier this season, the Eagles dominated Green Bay, holding Jordan Love and his offense to just 7 points. He looked completely overwhelmed.
As for the argument that the team needed rest? That’s nonsense. These are professionals. The Bears, who secured the No. 2 seed, played their starters. Every team with something to gain did the same. If your seed is locked, fine—rest your starters. But when there’s still a chance to move up, you play to win.
Coach Sirianni has been at the helm since 2021 and even led the team to a Super Bowl victory (LIX). But his decision on Sunday was inexcusable. In my opinion, it was a boneheaded move that could cost us dearly.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: My Daughter Just Wants To Walk at Graduation

Fifteen years ago, I noticed something different about my two-year-old daughter, Sammy’s walk. She had a noticeable sway in her hips, a little diva move that seemed more cute than concerning. But when she struggled to keep up in gymnastics and dance, we took her to a physical therapist. After months of sessions, the therapist made a quiet suggestion that changed everything: “It would be nice to have a diagnosis.”

That comment launched a journey no parent imagines. After undergoing genetic testing, only possible because we enrolled in a study at the National Institutes of Health, Sammy was diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2I/R9, an ultra-rare muscle-wasting disease.

Letter to the Editor: Dear former President Barack Obama,

During former Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign, you chastised “the brothers” for what you perceived as their reluctance to vote for a black female. You said: “We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”

Did you tell “the brothers” who, for the sake of racial solidarity, you tried to shame into voting for Harris that you only believe in left-wing racial solidarity?

Letter to Ed: Every Democrat Governor is fighting ICE and President Trump

Glassboro police are searching for the man in the white shirt and the man in the blue shirt. Mr. Devine labels the two of them as animals because they stood on the furniture in the restaurant and threw a metal chair at an officer, injuring him. The incident occurred early in the morning on November 1.

ICE wants to remove hardcore illegal immigrants from our state. Murderers, rapists, drug dealers, child molesters, mental patients, thieves, the drug cartel, and many more thugs. Jack Ciattarelli, as our NJ Governor, will work with ICE and President Trump to clean up our state from these illegal, dangerous invaders.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: The Season Has Begun

The season is here!

No!

Not baseball or football season, but THE POLITICAL SEASON!

Democrat and Republican signs are up, asking people for their votes. Nationwide, only 28 percent of people consider themselves strong Republicans or Democrats who vote straight down party lines.

Forty-eight percent of people vote not for the party, but for the candidate.

For 45 of the last 48 years, the Gloucester City Democratic Party has controlled the City Council. This has posed a danger to our democracy. Lacking checks and balances isn’t good for our community.

In Gloucester City, I’ve always believed our greatest asset is the good people who live here. Many of them prefer not to get involved in petty local politics that prioritize the party over the people.

It is what it is!

As I look out my window, I see city workers mowing the lawn on the corner lot owned by the city for the first time in several months. Yes, the political season has begun.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Muslim Religion is Inudating the USA

The Muslim religion is the fastest-growing religion per capita in the United States, especially among minority races. Last month I attended the training. During the training session, three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Muslim faiths gave presentations, each explaining their respective beliefs.
