Agudath Israel executive vice president Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel issued the following statement today:
Today 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, 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 today, for yourself . . . for your children . . . for your community . . . for Klal Yisroel.

I will vote to take a stand for traditional morality, not government handouts.
you can just switch vote with bear arms (2nd amendment) and it could support buying guns
both are dangerous if someone inexperienced uses their “right”
R’ Nachman Caller has my vote.
I get the point of the poster but its way off the mark. if i have a right to vote and i dont nobody is taking the right from me i have the freedom to choose if i want to or no if someone takes the right from me i no longer have the freedom to do as i please. If i choose not to own a gun nobody is taking my 2nd amendment from me i still have the freedom to buy a gun if i want to i just choose at the moment not to
For whom? I don’t know the issues OR that candidates!
