Mik Moore mikrmoore@gmail.com According to recent polls, 60% of Jewish voters support Obama. This 2:1 margin over McCain shows considerably lower levels of support than the 3:1 or even 4:1 Democratic to Republican margins of recent elections. This difference amounts to at least 500,000 votes nationally; tens of thousands in a swing state like Florida. <br /> I am appalled at the ongoing campaign to raise doubts about Obama among Jews &ndash; a campaign that almost always appeals to our worst instincts (and that has put at least 500,000 Jewish votes in play). And I cannot stomach the notion that, despite the dramatic failures of the past seven-plus years, we might elect a candidate who would largely extend the policies of the Bush administration. <strong>Unfortunately, the campaign to discredit Obama in the Jewish community is working.</strong> <br /> The Jewish Council for Education &amp; Research (JCER) was created to develop and communicate information to voters in the United States around issues of concern to the Jewish community. It is the only federal PAC building Jewish support for Obama. JCER is developing a campaign to help Jews take responsibility for identifying and persuading swing voters in our own communities, among our friends and families, and in key swing states. <br /> With your support, we can mobilize thousands of Obama supporters like yourself to make sure that our community is a key component of his successful campaign, rather than the reason for its failure. For those of you who share my concerns about the Jewish vote, perhaps you will find supporting this effort a particularly valuable way to invest your resources on behalf of Obama. public true 5325.00 4 10000.00 Jewish Council for Education & Research false jewish council for education & research 5000.00 136123.00 1598 http://www.jcer.info https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/20799 5325.00 4
