“The USCFL is a passionate voice for the justness of the cause, which is a Free Lebanon, and a Lebanon and Beirut restored to its old glory. Ziad Abdelnour and his team are tireless fighters for ending Syrian and Iranian interference in Lebanese affairs. He and I walked the halls of the U.S. Congress to impact on U.S. legislation to that effect relentlessly. Ziad's wide range of understanding and knowledge, and his experience in the business world, makes him and the USCFL team an ideal address for consultation and advice”. January 20, 2009. Joseph Puder; Founder, Executive Director, Interfaith Taskforce for America
“As the Founder and President at U.S Committee for a Free Lebanon, Ziad Abdelnour has worked tirelessly to save the fledgling democracy in Lebanon from the radical forces that threaten to engulf the entire Middle East. His organization has featured reasoned speakers who offer a detailed alternative point of view. Unlike the sloppy and lazy mainstream media, Ziad and his associates and speakers check and report upon the backgrounds and history of all on whom they report. His organization offers a crystal clear perspective on the dangers facing Lebanon, and therefore the Middle East and the world.” January 19, 2009. Alyssa A.
