HAVERIM FOR ASSEMBLYWOMAN RHODA S. JACOBS

Dear friends and neighbors,

We are urging you to vote on Thursday, September 13^th, 2012 to re-elect our friend and longtime advocate Assemblywoman Rhoda Jacobs, Assistant Speaker of the New York State Assembly.

Rhoda Jacobs serves our community with distinction.  She responds to the needs of our families and the neighborhood quality of life issues.  Her staff has helped many of us attain essential benefits and services and resolve problems with government agencies and health insurance.

Assemblywoman Jacobs continued activism in the Assembly in Albany, assures us of a strong voice.  With her knowledge and experience, she has worked to protect our rights and to expand funding for our programs and schools and communal institutions.  With Assemblyman Hikind and Speaker Silver, she worked to get increased funding and tax relief for non public schools; Rabbinical tuition assistance program (TAP); Empire State child tax credit; homeland security funding for local Jewish institutions and security cameras in our neighborhoods.

We are part of a “multi cultural” diverse Assembly District. This year our Assemblywoman is facing the most difficult primary challenge in her career.  Her well financed opponent is not sympathetic to our interests or needs, and whose supporters have publicly demonstrated their unacceptable disrespect for our community in general, and the must vulnerable members of our community, in particular.

We can’t afford to lose Assemblywoman Rhoda Jacobs.  We need to re-elect her so she can continue to actively advocate for all of us.  During these challenging times, we require an experienced and strong voice in Albany – the voice of Rhoda Jacobs.

Although this is a busy time with preparations for the Yomtovim, we ask that you go to the polls on Thursday, September 13^th and re-elect our friend and champion Assemblywoman Rhoda Jacobs.
