While the fog of war is real, there are a few things we can be confident about. We know the fighting happening inside Ukraine’s borders is perpetrated by Russian soldiers (not inside the borders of Russia by Ukranian soldiers).

Russia is the aggressor here.

In addition, 1 million people do not flee their homes, many with nothing but the clothes on their back, because of fake news. Estimates are that 2,000 people have already died, and soft civilian locations are being hit with Russian military attacks.

While cities were the first targets, now native Ukrainians are reporting that nearby villages are being raided and pillaged by Russian soldiers for supplies, according to a Ukranian pastor who now lives in America but is receiving steady updates from his childhood friends.

I have a brother in Christ who was called to serve the Ukrainian people. He has lived there since 2019 and I just spoke with him yesterday. He remains in Ukraine to help these desperate people. He, his wife and many others fled the capital and are sheltered in a rural building. When the sirens blast, they run to the basement. This couple comforts those who lost everything, including loved ones. This is not a fake war. This is a war by Russia that is targeting and killing innocent people. The devastation is horrific.

People are being slaughtered, displaced, targeted—they are suffering. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court is investigating Putin for war crimes against the people of Ukraine. Putin says the battle is going “according to plan.” Hospitals and schools have been hit, and innocent civilians are being slaughtered. I will not be silent when I hear the screams of these people.

Yet under this very same fog of war, our own government is using this backdrop as an opportunity to create a mandate for a Vaccine Passport for Americans trying to reach Poland!

No American should be forced to stay in the war zone of Ukraine for lack of a Vaccine Passport! We must help these desperate people. Help us reverse this policy with your faxes to the State Department leaders and members of Congress to fight this mandate.

For many Americans, it is easy to sleep in our safe beds and live in our quiet neighborhoods. We don’t cower in fear when an airplane flies overhead or tremble when a large truck rumbles past. We can be quick to judge people who had to make a quick decision to leave their businesses, their lives, everything—including family members.

I urge you to have compassion for these caught in Ukraine. Americans still there are facing so much. Having lived in Florida, I have often seen the devastation caused by a hurricane and I know how long it takes to rebuild. My heart breaks for the people caught in this battle and how even if the war stopped this instant, it will take decades to rebuild.

The father of an American woman from New Mexico passed away, and she flew to Kyiv to attend his funeral. After waking to the sound of bombs exploding, she was forced to flee.

Men accompanied their families to the border, perhaps saying their “goodbyes” for the last time.

In the middle of this, Americans are being caught by our State Department and told they must show proof of “vaccine” identification!

Americans left in Ukraine have almost no one to advocate for them.

I will not sit by and watch Biden’s State Department abandon Americans. We have a very short window to help them.

Here are four ways you can help Americans stuck in Ukraine right now:

1) Send your urgent faxes to the State Department and other key leaders and members of Congress.

2) Sign our petition to be delivered to the State Department and key members of Congress.

3) Donate to help expose this threat and deliver a strong message from our Capitol Hill staff to the State Department. Right now, the impact of your gift will be DOUBLED with our 2022 Challenge Grant.

4) Spread this message by forwarding this email or share it on social media, and ask others to sign this petition immediately.

I understand there is a long, complicated history between Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. But regardless of politics, innocent people are suffering.

The Biden administration has NO authority to force Vaccine Passports and mandates on U.S. citizens trying to flee the mess on the Ukraine/Russia border. It is unthinkable for Biden’s State Department to completely discard the religious freedom of these people and demand higher standards for those fleeing than what is required of regular travelers.

Help us defend freedom for Americans looking to escape this war zone. Give now and DOUBLE the impact of your gift through our Challenge Grant.

Thank you for your help!
