the VAAD is %100 CORRUPT & thats the problem
THIS IS WHAT CORRUPTION IS ALL ABOUT, a Politician or askin etc… thinks he is just doing his job as a Politician or askin but in reality he knows that he is falling into corruption, & has the power to stop it but doesn’t (say its allowed or it can be done) & thats the yetzer hara that convinces him that he’s not doing anything wrong. its my job to be in power in politics… therefore i can tell them not to do it even though they are really allowed to & THATS CORRUPTION. & THATS WHEN THEY START TO BRING THEMSELVES DOWN & CAUSE THEMSELVES DESTRUCTION R”L hold yourself in as they continue going down one by one UNLESS THEY ERASE CORRUPTION FROM THEY’RE WAY OF LIFE & RETURN TO HONESTY…

that is what happens with corruption. the person thinks i’m with talmidei chachomim i can never be corrupt & then hes in the ball game with them & brings HIMSELF down to destruction “CORRUPTION BRINGS A PERSON TO DESTRUCTION”

If it doesn’t stop now they’re all going to bring destruction upon themselves R”L & a big Chillul Hashem. a person can never do teshuva for a chillul Hashem.

Once the Vaad becomes defunct, I’m sure a new Vaad will be formed, one that has the best interests of the people at heart.

We need unity and vote as a block, but it doesn’t mean we need the Vaad. The good old days when we had strong Gedolim, are good OLD day.

The problem with many organizations like the Vaad is that they publish lists of who to vote for instead of booklets explaining why they’ve endorsed certain candidates.

It’s a pity because our greatest power is our unity. We need a Vaad that is representative of the broad spectrum of yidden in Lakewood.

How good can it be for the communitty if politicians think everyone will do what they want and there isnt a bloc.

Its good to know that our brothers in Lakewood have a mind of their own.

I don’t think the description “tea party” is used enough these days

A few months ago, I came out in the morning to find that someone had overnight smashed my car windows. After filing a report, one of my neighbors suggested to me that perhaps I should call the Vaad – maybe they could help me. I told him that I had already called them – he asked me what did they say? I told him they said they didn’t do it!
