 An Urgent Message
From the Desk of David Horowitz
Dear CSPC Supporter,  We have been given an opportunity to expose the radical left in our universities right now like we've never been able to before. Over the past 48 hours a consortium of radical professors, students and like-minded leftist organizations have launched an unprecedented attack aimed at discrediting my just-released book, The Professors, as well as our powerful National Campaign for Academic Freedom. Over the years you and I have witnessed precisely this type of concerted effort used by America's left when it wants to silence anyone who threatens to expose its Hate America Agenda. At the end of this email, a trusted supporter of CSPC, there is a link to my formal answer to the charges being made by a coalition of some of the left's most powerful groups including the ACLU, the teacher unions, George Soros's university recruitment program (Campus Progress) the rabidly pro-Castro United Students Association and, of course, People for the America Way. But right now I'm asking you to immediately help me counter their malicious attempts to smear me, the book, our research and our powerful and growing National Campaign for Academic Freedom. We're already preparing space ads to run in every campus newspaper that features one of the professors in my book, and in such magazines as Editor & Publisher that will call this coalition on the carpet and expose their smear campaign and their ugly McCarthyite tactics! But I need your help. We know that we need to raise at least $25,500 immediately to get our ads produced and published. This will allow us to place ads in 250 campus newspapers. Can you help me today with a special emergency Expose the Censors contribution of $300, $100, or at least $35 right now? You know that extremist factions like People for the American Way, the ACLU and the far left United Students Association don't truly want genuine academic freedom to gain a foothold on our campuses. If they did they wouldn't accuse me of attacking faculty members for their political associations. The introduction of The Professors addressed that criticism point-blank and states clearly that the purpose of the book isn't to condemn faculty members for their political views. It's to expose the intellectual corruption of the university and the transformation of classrooms into political soap boxes. Along with the falsehood about attacking professors for their associations, the coalition claims that the book is my attempt to "silence my critics." As you know, that's utter nonsense. And while the professors discussed in my book don't agree with you and me or our call for real academic freedom.... ...their criticisms of our campaign or my work don't amount to a hill of beans! The people these professors truly hurt day-in, day-out are the students they ridicule and browbeat and the talented, bright professors they work hard to keep out of their institutions expressly because of their political or religious associations. As a longtime supporter of our National Campaign for Academic Freedom you know a major goal of our campaign is to get administrations and professors to quit doing precisely that -- attacking other professors or students for their political views... ...it's just that those who suffer the indignity and abuse from these attacks are more often than not conservatives or Christians. Far too many professors -- and my book names names -- feel their classrooms are forums to forward their political agenda! What you and I must repeat and repeat to the American people is that this campaign of slurs and smears that this coalition of leftists has launched is precisely the type of attempts to suppress dissenting views that exists on our campuses today... ...precisely what my book exposes! Please help me counter these attacks with the truth. You know well that these radical leftists have gotten away with these types of slash-and-burn campaigns for far too long -- we cannot let this stand! As always, I speak for our entire CSPC staff when I thank you for your longstanding courageous support. I look forward to your immediate help again.
Sincerely, 
David Horowitz
President & Founder
