Recently, VCY America sent copies of the book, 'Raising a Jihadi Generation' by John Guandolo, to each Senator. This book is basically a handbook for law enforcement, intelligence and military professionals. The book was not sent as a gift but was sent as vital information of critical importance to America's security. Senator Jon Tester of Montana, noted that he cannot personally accept any gifts as a result of his position as a U.S. Senator. As already noted, the book was not sent as a gift so Vic encouraged listeners to contact the offices of Senator Tester to encourage him to read it. Why? The book's content concerning homeland security should be of interest to him because he holds a position on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
