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.

Today, more than ever, Christians and Jews must embrace their mutual need of each other, celebrate their common goals and heritage, and establish working relationships.

Weighing in will be three experts in creating Judeo-Christian partnerships:

Joel Rosenberg, New York Times Best-Selling Author and President of The Joshua Fund.

Gary Bauer has long been known for his leadership at the grassroots level on social issues. But his expertise on issues of the importance of the U.S.-Israeli friendship and its ties to national security go all the way back to his days as domestic policy advisor to President Ronald Reagan. Recently Bauer wrote an analysis of the "Two-State" solution for peace in the Middle East for the prestigious Politico.
