The United American Committee (commonly called the UAC) is a non-partisan, non-profit, 501c(3) organization dedicated to educating the nation about the current threats that they believe are confronting the U.S., with the primarily focus on confronting Islamic extremism. The organization was active from 2004 until 2009 when it merged membership with American Congress for Truth, another non-profit with the same educational mission regarding bringing attention to issues concerning American national security.
The UAC stated that it monitors threats which face America and encourages U.S. citizens to become involved in national security issues. Adherents of the beliefs of the United American Committee believe that citizens must take a role in the activities of the nation. The UAC works to promote a sense of American patriotism, and encourages America to awaken to what it calls "the threats of Islamic extremism" by promoting the agenda laid out in the UAC Platform through media campaigns.
