Bauer's American Values is also sponsoring one of the premier panels of the weekend Values Voter Summit: "Why Christians Should Support Israel."

Session Overview: Christians and Jews have been uniquely linked for more than 2,000 years. Sometimes working together; Sometimes in terrible conflict. But recently, Christians and Jews have explored the mystery of their union in unprecedented ways, achieving mutually beneficial outcomes.
