Wow -- Brigitte Gabriel Is Amazing!


We are in for the fight of our lives.
That we have not yet had another terrorist attack in the United States
is remarkable, but it will happen. Al Queda keeps its promises.

How do I know this? I was born in Lebanon and
raised as a Christian. When the Lebanese Civil War broke out, our
family, and our Maronite community came under vicious attack by Islamic
extremists. They promised to destroy us, and as you know from the
recent war in Lebanon, the country is now nearly Islamic.


I was nearly killed by a mortar. Our home was destroyed. We lived in a
bomb shelter for seven years. Most of my childhood friends were killed.
That’s how I know.

We must make the connection between individual
safety and a strong national defense, increase civic preparation and
political responsibility, and train all Americans to become defenders
of our community safety and national security.

I just returned from taking the family to see Brigitte Gabriel speak at the Rez Church in Loveland. If you EVER get a chance to listen to her just drop everything and go!

A truly heart-wrenching life story with a high energy delivery and a compelling warning for America and call to action. It can happen here -- have you forgotten 9/11 already?

Speaking of action, her take in researching activism with the congress-critters is that they view every call or letter to them as representing 1000 people on their couches glued to American Idol but having similar leanings.

What are you waiting for? Get up off the couch! You are a thousand times more powerful than you thought!

Go to her website, donate and buy her book. As she said, if she's willing to risk a bullet -- and make no mistake that she is (and almost died already) -- what is your excuse?
