FRANK GAFFNEY (GUEST): We call what we're about Operation Bayonet. It's a four-phase program that is designed to basically ensure that the people of Texas are made aware of the threat that they are facing from Sharia.

I think we've made real headway in that. The fact that 95% of 2 million voters knew enough about this to know that they didn't want any part of it and registered their vote for the proposition that Texas should prohibit Sharia law is a testament to that.

But there's an awful lot of other Texans who still don't know, anything really probably about Sharia, certainly the threat that it poses to everything they hold dear, including their dogs which would be prohibited and killed if the Sharia supremacists have their way.

But beyond that, even if they do know, they have not been moved so far to express it. So our next phase of this four-part campaign, we want the governor of Texas to walk the walk. He's done a marvelous job of talking about Sharia. And claiming that, you know, real progress is made on it. He did, to his great credit, designate the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American Islamic Relations as what they are, terrorist organizations, and by the way, he threw in for good measure, transnational criminal ones. And he said they're not allowed to hold real property in the state of Texas.

Well, we need that enforced, Governor. Among myriad other things. Colleagues of ours, Ammon Blair, marvelous guy at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, has helped formulate something like, I think it's 36 different initiatives that the governor can and must take now. There's no need to wait for the next legislative session, which doesn't happen till 2027.

Bottom line is this, we're ready to go on rolling up this and making it a real voting issue, and we so appreciate your help in doing that, Steve.
