New poll shows 1 in 5 college students believe America deserved 9/11 AFA Action CEO: ‘Teaching American students to agree with terrorism against America is not education; it is dangerous indoctrination’ TUPELO, Miss. — According to Buckley Institute’s 2026 National Undergraduate Student Survey, a shocking 22% of American college students say the U.S. deserved the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In addition, the institute reported that 45% of undergraduates believe physical violence is justifiable to stop hate speech. “Interestingly, 72% of those who agree that physical violence can be justified to stop hate speech also agree that hate speech is protected by the First Amendment,” the poll found.

Thank you Senator Sandy Salmon (District 29) for working to protect Iowa kids from corporate predators. Corporate database vendors are inserting ads and other harmful content into library and school resource databases. These are billion-dollar companies profiting at the expense of Iowa kids. Senator Salmon sponsored SF 2177 to clean up these databases and protect taxpayer funds from being wasted.

DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGNS AND OPENLY SOCIALIST CANDIDATES - SAME FUNDRAISING PLATFORM ActBlue processes donations for both. Democratic Socialists of America are openly raising money on ActBlue for socialist candidates. The fundraising URL spells it out: “socialist cash takes out capitalist trash.” Their words. Their page. Their chosen platform. Democrat candidates who call themselves moderate should answer a straightforward question: Will you reject the socialist agenda being funded through the same platform you use? Voters deserve a clear answer.

Thank you Senator Kevin Alons (District 7) for helping drive the effort to protect kids online. HF 864, which Alons managed on the Senate floor, is now law in Iowa. Iowa joins 25 other states in requiring age verification for adult websites. Accidental exposure has been listed as a major reason kids are getting addicted to pornography. 60 percent of exposure is unsolicited, even occurring on school devices. Thanks to leaders like Kevin Alons, kids in Iowa are being protected.

THIS WASN’T A PRIVATE NIGHT OUT. IT WAS A CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISER. The proceeds from “Charity Drag Bingo” were used to benefit Missouri candidates Katelyn Zach and Jeremy Dean, who are seeking the power to represent Missourians and write state laws. Candidates choose where they raise money. They choose the causes they elevate. They choose the political and cultural alliances they celebrate. Those choices tell voters something. It tells them what kinds of policies these candidates will champion. Katelyn Zach and Jeremy Dean aren’t merely asking Missouri District 133 (Zach) and District 132 (Dean) for their vote. They are openly revealing the values, priorities, and political coalition they will carry into office. Voters should ask a simple question: Does this agenda reflect your family, your convictions, and your community? Is this good for your kids? Campaign events reveal campaign priorities.

Dr. Jameson Taylor with AFA Action was pleased to join with several groups from around the country in asking the U.S. Senate to require federal agencies to publish non-binding guidance. "Guidance" amounts to unofficial directives that agencies use to get their way. It avoids transparency and accountability by going around the proper rulemaking process. Guidance might come in the form of a blog post, a letter, or even, a phone call. The GOOD Act, which has passed the U.S. House (H.R. 1515), requires agencies to make guidance documents available through a searchable portal. Senate Majority Leader John Thune needs to bring the bill to a vote on the floor of the Senate, as it has already unanimously passed committee. Read the letter here: sbecouncil.org/2026/09/18/co…

Todd Butler was recently nominated by President Trump to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on October 1, 2026. AFA Action’s Center for Judicial Renewal is currently researching Butler and has found several concerns: (1) As an attorney, Butler lost 9-0 at SCOTUS while opposing a Christian evangelist. (2) Butler’s judicial philosophy is questionable, as he previously wrote in 2008 that the Supreme Court best serves the American people when Justices have diverse judicial philosophies.

“States should not have to wait on Washington to protect the integrity of their elections. State leaders across the country are stepping up, advancing voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements using every tool available to safeguard the ballot. If Washington refuses to act, states must lead. The American people deserve elections they can trust.” -@WalkerWildmon
