Invest terror-free

Just when it seemed that many Americans and even the Bush administration had lost the will to resist the enablers of our terror-wielding enemies – nations like Iran, Sudan, and Syria – a national phenomenon has become unmistakable. U.S. investors have begun to recognize that: money is the lifeblood of the regimes that sponsor the killers; cutting off their cash-flow is not only prudent, it is a matter of life and death; and that every one of us can help by investing terror-free.
A press conference at the National Press Club Tuesday will make clear that terror-free investing is an idea whose time truly has come. Americans have been horrified to learn that their money – in the form of public pension funds, mutual funds, college and university endowments, life insurance portfolios or their personal investments – is being invested in publicly traded companies that do business with U.S. government-designated state-sponsors of terror.
