“ For the record;

The meeting today with Carl Paladino was to ask the candidate running for the highest office in NY State his position on issues that were not raised in his previous visit to Williamsburg, because it was sabotaged with an outsider drafting him a memo of what to read, and it was only about issues below the belt (not that we disagree)
and this meeting was about all issues that concern the resident of NY and Williamsburg above the belt.

This meeting was also not a photo-up of what you have seen lately that every Moe Dick and Larry sits down with a Rabbi and the candidate, someone takes a photo and now it states "Candidate meets with Rabbi's" WOW, the Rabbi doesn't care if he pro gay or pro abortion as long as there is a nice photo and his leaders told him to meet, BINGO, now you can show the entire community that you have a photo with this and this political person.

The problem is, if we have so many leaders with so many photo's, why are we in Williamsburg so far behind in all services and actual voters, because they all care about the PHOTO.

This meeting with Paladino there was no press allowed, the people were not "Rabbinical Leaders" they were lay leaders concerned about the issues that concern every family living in Williamsburg, Administrator's of school's and Yeshiva's people who work in social service and see the needs of the community without fanfare or thank you pages in the newspaper's while getting big salaries from the taxpayer.

Each and every candidate should be giver the opportunity to field questions from the people at a diner or in house, Coumo wasn't asked and his only claim to fame was that "My father was very good to the community, and the community was very good to my father" no question's asked so now these leaders release the tape of the meeting and advise you to vote for this candidate-this is CRAZY.

Some people think that we in Williamsburg are really so crazy, not that I'm endorsing Paladino, just the fact that Some people wonder "who are these Rabbi's that Paladino met?" haven't you noticed in these many years that everyone with a black hat and black jacket is a Rabbi, they were never ordained, don't have a shul, never got semicha. and the photo yells "Rabbi".

Conclusion: Paladino met with lay leaders of Williamsburg who walk the streets have large families struggle to survive and raise a family, can you show me one Rabbi with these problems. ”

“ After today's meetings in Williamsburg I can tell you that Carl Paladino is a real mentch. He answered all our community's concerns in the proper manner. Our frum community and Paladino are on the same page. He didn't try to hide any of his positions and then offer us "grants & subsidies" like the other guy did. He was straight forward Carl Paladino. He tells it like it is and we are satisfied with that!

I will work hard to educate other community members to support and vote for Carl Paladino for Governor of New York. ”

“ What did he say about his plans to gut Medicaid and slash social services? This will devastate poor Jewish communities and poor non-Jewish communities. ”

“ The wealthy in our community will need to step up. Thats how it is supposed to be lets take care of each other and we wont need government help.
Also all these "poor" people wearing expensive cloths and bugaboo strollers will have to tighten their belts, and the genuinely poor? We as a community need to step up and help. Create job training programs and the like so they can go out and get jobs, or become entrepreneurs, this is the best economy to do it in, if you do it right!
Relying on government help is no the answer! All it does is make people lazy!! By making incentives for businesses to hire, that will help everyone! It is OK to learn half a day and work a bit to feed your kids. Look at the gedolim, they were not all supported simply by the community? Rambam was a Dr., There were others who were merchants, blacksmiths ect ”

“ Isn't it a pity?
A person running for governor of NYS, seeking endorsement from ultra orthodox leaders, why does he need to bump in with the biggest losers / drop outs from our community?
He started with Levine, now Abraham, Wercberger, Mr. Paladino; before you walk into a community find out the details first!!
These people are just making sure to make you loose every potential vote in the community!! ”
