ACT for America

ACT for America’s Mission Viejo Chapter will hold a general meeting on Mon., Apr. 8, at the Norm Murray Community Center, 24932 Veterans Way, Mission Viejo (Sycamore B Room). Chapter President Bruce Mayall invites community members to bring a friend to the meeting, which starts promptly at 7:30 p.m. and ends at 9:30 p.m.

Jeff Ferguson, Senior Deputy District Attorney for Orange County, will speak on Islamic Law. His topic will be “How Judges Can Stop Sharia in America.”

The Islamists' dream is America and the world ruled by sharia, the barbaric, 8th century Islamic legal code. Sharia was created more than 1,000 years ago to consolidate the power of Arab warlords over their conquered lands. Today, Muslim Brotherhood agents and ordinary Muslims are striving to insinuate sharia into America's courtrooms, with surprising success.
In spite of Islamist propaganda that presents sharia as only religious law, many devout Muslims believe it should apply to every person on Earth. But, sharia violates the United States’ Constitutional rights and the most basic principles of American jurisprudence, including equality, due process and trial by jury.

Jeff will discuss:

• The growing list of legal cases where judges allowed sharia to be applied in U.S. court.
• Why one or both parties would try to invoke sharia in court.
• A few case studies that illustrate why sharia is a bad idea if we want to keep our rights.
• What every judge must do to prevent sharia from setting precedents in our legal system.

Jeff was raised in Orange County and has worked for the District Attorney's office for over 30 years. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology, a Bachelor of Arts in social ecology from UCI, and a law degree from Western State University. He started his career with the District Attorney's office in Juvenile Court, and was soon promoted to the elite Narcotics Enforcement Team where he was the first prosecutor in California to convict a member of the Mexican Mafia.

As a prosecutor for the Major Narcotics Vendor Program, Jeff shut down more than two dozen high-volume methamphetamine labs between San Diego and Fresno. He targeted a dozen street gangs selling narcotics, guns and stolen cars for Operation Orion, personally indicting 128 suspects with 90% of them landing in state prison. He has also prosecuted associates of jihadist terrorist groups engaged in identify theft and smuggling meth precursor chemicals into American and Canada. The OC Narcotics Officers Association named Jeff the Prosecutor of the Year, three different times.

Jeff will speak for about 50 minutes, followed by 20 minutes for questions. A $5 donation will be appreciated to help cover meeting costs. Sign up for ACT! for America chapter announcements at www.act4oc.org
