      <image:caption>I am blessed to be nationally recognized for my support of Israel. We fought and defeated the new “national standards” of university “experts” whose agenda was to delete the Holocaust from US History standards and curriculum. Working with the Holocaust Society, we then found these college “experts” also deleted the WWII Nazis murder of six million Jewish children, women and men - from the their required standards for college credit in European History and World History.. With absolutely ZERO support from the national media -- We won - and the Far Left lost!</image:caption>
