Agudath Israel executive vice president Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel issued the following statement today:
This coming Tuesday, November 3, is Election Day. We urge all our constituents and friends to please go out and vote!
Your vote counts. It may help decide the outcome of a close election. And it will surely help the victors decide what to do after the elections.
The simple reality is that government officials look at which groups vote, and take their positions on the major issues of the day accordingly. Communities that vote are communities that are listened to and heard. Securing political support with regard to the issues that affect us deeply –increased government aid to our educational institutions, the moral climate of society, improving the amount and quality of government services available in our neighborhoods –depends on each and every registered voter taking the time to go to the polls on Election Day.
So please, take the time to vote on November 3, for yourself…..for your children…..for your community…..for Klal Yisroel.
Chaim Dovid Zwiebel.

VOTE FOR WHOM?
Both Bloomberg and Thempson are enthusiastic promoters of Toeva legislation and Abortion-on-demand. Our Rabbonim have repeatedly stated that it is forbidden to vote for such people.
#1 it doesn’t matter who you vote for, we must show this monsters that we will vote them in or out of the office. That is the main message. The end resolt will be they will start to listen…….
Every year the Aguda spends tons of money begging everyone to vote and most people dont. The only way to get people to vote is to involve the children. If for example, every kid is told if you let/encourage your parents to vote, you will get for example 5 extra points on your next chumash/gemara test, every single parent will vote! This technique has been used over and over again by yeshivas to get parents to come to pta/chinese auctions, teas, etc with almost 100% success. So very simple.
