TO ALL Jewish Republicans of Colorado, J-GOP BOARD and all CONCERNED Jewish People:
This Wednesday, we have a tremendous opportunity to speak with our Jewish brethren about the most obvious and important choice for Jews and for Americans in our lifetimes!

YOU can wander around the hall at the Jewish Candidate Forum and speak to Jewish voters who are interested and involved enough to be at the Forum on Wednesday, October 10, 2012.  Temple Sinai at 6:00 PM.

Please, if you do any political event this season, SHOW UP for this event and help to explain, calmly and rationally, why Obama is downright dangerous for Israel. 

Here's an article for you to refer to.  Feel free to copy off your own articles and hand them out!

This is YOUR opportunity to be a one-person activist organization!!

PLEASE BE THERE!

Barack Obama Not Worthy Of A Single Jewish Vote

By Fred Weinberg

October 5, 2012

I grew up in what can only be described as a “liberal” Jewish household in Peoria, Illinois.  We went to a “reform” temple where, when we were growing up, keeping kosher and certain other Jewish traditions of the “other” temple in town, the “orthodox” institution, were not observed.

It was often suggested that our congregation was so reform that it was actually Unitarian.

Amidst all of that liberalism, however, was a strong educational ethic, and we went to Sunday School at Temple Anshai Emeth until we were sophomores in high school.  We learned about Jewish traditions—observed or not—and we spent a lot of time learning about another Jewish interest that was a lot more fresh in the 50s and 60s—Israel.

Karen and others 

In preparation for the forthcoming forum, I made a list of talking points to use as a reference. My points go beyond the essay you thoughtfully sent to all of us. 

I share my talking points, for whatever they're worth:

Notes on the Candidates’ Forum

Reasons to vote for Romney

1. Emphasize: Israel is not the most important factor
2. Whether and to what degree, obama is pro Israel, his record is unambiguous who he is for: the muslim brotherhood in Egypt; Hamas and Hizbollah
3. General Dempsey spoke of intervening on behalf of Israel in contemptible rhetoric: he did not want the USA to be ‘complicit’ in any attack on Iran
4. Obama’s pro muslim use of rhetoric: ethnic cleansing in official government documents using words jihad or islamist
5. obama’s bowing to a Saudi thug
6. obama’s pull out from Iraq: he did not defend US interests, did not try to maintain a military presence; he nullified and then subverted the gains the US made in Iraq and is allowing it to become anti American and become a satellite of Iran.
7. obama advances the greatness of Islam and derogates the greatness of the USA
8. obama wants Israel to retreat to the 1967 armistice line
9. Appointment of Catherine Ashton, past president of the European Union, to be chief negotiator with Iran over its nuclear weapons development. Ashton is rabidly anti Israel
10. obama wants to reduce the ‘footprint’ of the USA around the world. That means, the Jews will lose their best ally. As the footprint of America diminishes, the moral authority, the capacity and the will to defend Jews diminishes around the world.
11. Jews favor equality and non discrimination: obama’s justice department is racist anti white
12. Jews favor the rule of law. The history of the Jews illustrates their need for open democratic rule of law that protects individual liberty. Obama directed the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, General Dempsey, to intimidate a insignificant person who allegedly created an anti muslim film trailer to compromise his First Amendment rights.
13. Jews are entrepreneurial. Jews favor economic growth and liberty: obama’s taxes and obamacare will destroy the middle class and entrepreneurial capability
14. Jews favor equality of speech and free expression. Obama and Hillary Clinton are receptive to the muslim’s anti blasphemy regulation at the UN level and in the USA
15. Jews value education. Today, Jews are discriminated against as a consequence of affirmative action.
16. Jews should acknowledge that support for obama is not based on an analysis of policies and the probable benefits of such policies but rather on leftist political ideology, even though it hurts Jews’ interests.
17. Jews should acknowledge that the larger the government, the smaller the individual, and that Jews should not rationally risk becoming smaller and less influential.
18. When discrimination begins at serious levels against the Jews, no distinction will be made between liberal and conservative Jews
