Is the one palling around with Sharpton your man? Do you want George Soros (with an agenda against religion. Period.) running the Justice Department? Now, I call THAT dangerous!

Plus, the AG post is made to fight crime. Do you want someone that will do the job he should do or one that will be in bed with all of his former colleagues? If you have a problem, whether it is an anti-Semitic issue or an incidence where you were a victim of fraud, do you want a person that will act or someone that will examine your position on Toeiva?

Schneiderman isn’t only a horrific candidate now, he was divisive and the worst in the primary as well. I wouldn’t elect him for anything. Besides that he is only running to set a stage for a gubernatorial run.

I did not take the conversation off track and i DO NOT work for Hikind, Agudah or any other political establishment.

David Greenfield is a “Democrat” and God forbid it gets public that he’s involved in helping a “Republican” candidate… That’s political Suicide… he’ll lose all his entire influence at the Democratic NYC Council which would definitely harm his agenda… and that’s exactly why he’s denying it..

Back to reality world, R’ Duvid has devoted his entire office to PLEASE HIS SUPERIOR MAYOR BLOOMBERG…

Just read this Observer article posted last week after the misinterpreted Satmar Williamsburg endorsement for Mr. Donovan…

http://www.observer.com/2010/politics/heels-hasidic-meeting-donovan-make-major-push-jewish-vote?utm_medium=partial-text&utm_campaign=politics

{Quote} The campaign is relying on many political operatives who have done Jewish outreach for the Bloomberg administration AND WHO WORKED ON DAVID GREENFIELD’S CAMPAIGN FOR CITY COUNCIL LAST YEAR.

MARK BOTNICK, who now works for Ed Koch’s New York Uprising and who left the mayor’s community affairs unit to work on his re-election campaign, was with Donovan yesterday as he toured the Hasidic neighborhoods of Brooklyn. BOTNICK WAS GREENFIELD’S CAMPAIGN MANAGER. Also assisting is MICHAEL FRAGIN, a former Pataki aide WHO HELPED OUT GREENFIELD and who led Donovan through his home town on Long Island last Sunday. {Quote}

Now with Fragin and Botnick at his side.. Whom would try fooling that Greenfiled doesn’t work and support for the Donovan team..

What can be more proving than this one: Satmar KJ, Monsey and Williamsburg are unanimously endorsing Mr. Schneiderman for AG, isn’t that bizarre and bell-ringing..?? Well, the answer is, THEY DO NOT RELY ON PRIORITY 7… As a result, BLOOMBERG/GREENFIELD HAVE NO LEVERAGE THERE!

Thanks!

Lets Say… isn’t that a good enough reason…

The main problem is with people who did NOT defraud the government, will also be under investigation just for the sake for being under investigation to make headlines, even though in the end they will not be charged with anything.

we have heard quite a few times in the last years about Heimishe Yidden being investigated and it made big headlines, but at the end they were not charged with anything it just costed them millions of dollars and destroyed their financial stability, all cuz the AG wanted to make headlines with an investigation.

This problem will increase and get much worse under Donovan, innocent companies will be investigated just to make headlines, and that means that Donovan is DANGEROUS.

You must be working for either Agudah or Dov Hikind to try to change the conversation. The fact is that Reb Dovid Greenfield has nothing to do with the Dan Donovan campaign. In fact, he has not endorsed Donovan nor has he encouraged anyone to endorse him either. I know this because I saw him on Shabbos and asked him this exact question and that was his response.

This has Nothing to do with Priority 7. Speaking as a Yeshiva administrator, I know that Priority 7 has been extended for 6 Months and that is only thank to Councilman Greenfields incredible Hishtadlus. We all know that because of the budget cuts, its not likely to be extended again.

This endorsement has to do with 2 issues.

First – Dan Donovan is a far better candidate for Attorney General than Eric Schneiderman – for all of the reasons mentioned in this article

Second – As a Yeshiva Administrator in Boro Park, we are all sick and tired with Agudas Yisroel and Dov Hikind pretending to represent us. Everybody knows that Agudah and Hikind don’t care about chasidim and have their own agenda that does not help our Chasidishe Mosdos.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE ENDORSING DAN DONOVAN.

Regarding my comment why Satmar in BP and why only in BP is well in place. Donovan was last week in Willi and it didn’t end up in an Endorsement, and why wasnt he visiting other jewish communities.

re/ all your other comments.
It seems that you do have an understanding what the AG office is about. and I share the same Understanding, but somehow we draw different conclusions, the AG’s Position is to be the peoples Lawyer, and that’s how we should determine who to endorse and who to vote, if you have a court case and you need a good lawyer, you would not look if gay groups support him or not, or if someone who is anti-Israel is good with him.

Lets make it short. and quote how the press is placing it in context and that’s basically how the candidates are saying

“Schneiderman has promised to be an “activist” attorney general on behalf of New Yorkers. Donovan said he would enforce the laws aggressively as attorney general.”

We the Jewish community need an “Activist” AG. for all the reasons you stated, and for all the reasons I stated.

Let me make it clear, I would take Donovan over Schneiderman for any other position Governor, State Senator, Assemblyman, e.t.c. But Donovan for AG is DANGEROUS.

As far as I know, a majority of all these congregations and school boards (Satmar in particular) were always pro Schneiderman (you should have seen their official endorsements for Schneiderman at the Primary campaign back in Sep. What a phenomenal AG Mr. Schneiderman would be..) and I firmly believe they still are.

What happened was, the well known and touchy issue of “Priority 7 Vouchers” came on board… Councilman Greenfiled brought a clear message from the mayor which is a huge Donovan supporter, that unless “all” the Brooklyn schools and congs come out with an official endorsement for Mr. Donovan, the vouchers will be suspended as of 01/’11 when the program is due for revisitation..

Not to disrespect our loyal councilman R’ Duvid Greenfeild but its a real shame being in a stage that the Mayor can simply “blackmail” us and thereby take away our freedom of choice concerning electing our officials..
That would be called Unethical and Political nasty blackmailing.. Yes we need these vouchers and yes the Mayor is the one who can suspend or extend it.. But taking advantage on this important program and thereby threatening the Hasidic community.. That’s unheard-of and outrageous.

I got this info from a NYT reporter that asked me Saturday night what exactly Priority 7 vouchers is all about and how important it is for the Hasidic community.. When I asked him what this about, he told me that he’s working on exposing a shocking Blackmailing story concerning Mayor Bloomberg.. According to him, the mayor has crossed the line..

Sorry for the long comment but I kinda felt telling the truth..

Remember, Nov 2 is the day to practice “Freedom Of Choice” and do not let anyone take that privilege away.. Do what you think is best for you, vote for the candidate you believe is right for you (whoever it is..) And not what Mayor Bloomberg believes is right for HIM!!

Hatzlacha!

This is not to imply anything negative at all about Mr Donovan; by all accounts he is an outstanding candidate. It is simply a question of setting the record straight, in the interests of accuracy.

Although I am one of those who question whether the frum community should take sides in election campaigns based on single-issue litmus tests, I personally draw a bright line when it comes to candidates who associate closely and warmly with anti-semites.

In the summer of 1991, Al Sharpton led a chanting crowd in Crown Heights, resulting in the murder of (my friend) Yankel Rosenbaum, Hy”d. Taking this into account, as well as all the hatred Sharpton has spewed out over the years, I am deeply troubled by the thought of the official recognition and imprimatur which Mr Schneiderman has promised to accord him, if he becomes Attorney-General.

At the same time, knowing something of the extent to which George Soros uses his vast fortune to fund organizations and individuals involved, on a daily basis, in imperiling the lives of acheinu bnei yisroel, in Eretz Yisroel and elsewhere, I am fearful of where his generous support of Mr Schneiderman could lead.

There are occasions when it is important not to remain silent, and the above factors lead me to believe that this is one of them.
