Glenn Beck offers to trade favors to Congressmembers that support his 8/24 Rally
Glenn Beck is asking members of Congress and the leaders of other organizations to lend their support to his Restoring Courage rally slated to take place in Jerusalem in August, according to documents obtained by Media Matters.
In an email to a congressional office, Beck staffer Natalie Costantino insists that the event will be “non-partisan, non-political, and non-denominational” and writes that “Glenn would like to invite” the member “personally to support the country, whether it be joining us in Israel or supporting in spirit.”
Costantino adds:
We are asking supporters to participate in two things that will help strengthen the message of Restoring Courage:
First, we are asking if [Member of Congress’ name redacted] could write a support letter on official letterhead to be posted online. An archive of letters will be created to help encourage others to take the courageous step of standing with Israel. Please note that your letter of support may be posted on glennbeck.com, theblaze.com, GBTV, our Restoring Courage Facebook page and Glenn may talk about your organization’s support on TV or radio.
Secondly, please visit www.facebook.com/824restoringcourage and like our page! Reciprocally, we will add your page to our likes.
