To this end for several years now Brenda writes a bi-monthly Newsletter.
Take-A-Pen www.takeapen.org is also known, as a leading multilingual(18) popular letter-writing network for truth-loving volunteers; Jews, Christians, secular or of any faith, writing to the media and to politicians, for the truth and countering misinformation regarding Israel in the Middle East.

Write Your Own Letter: Terror is finally Defined
Fight against global terror has been hampered by lack of a generally accepted definition of terror. "Political correctness" says sometimes that ''one man''s terrorist is another man''s freedom fighter''.
