I heard a Hispanic Democratic candidate named Erick Salgado speak who was good on all the important issues that effect the Jewish Community from being against toviah marriage to being strong on crime, while still being strong on helping Yeshiva parents with tuition.
lets all mobilize and support Erick Salgado and make a Kiddush Hashem.

we hear more about those candidates who are on the Democrat side and don't hear much about those on the Republican side. I was polled yesterday and I realized I need to find out more about conservative choices.

Should we not support any Christian candidates? They are proud supporters of avodah zarah. While I believe it to be assur, I feel the disgust engendered is not really a Jewish ideal. Cheating in business is also called toieva. Do you feel the same way about someone who cheats in business.
