YOUNG JEWISH LEADERSHIP PAC (YJLPAC) ENDORSES REPUBLICAN EDWARD LYNCH 
NEW YORK - The Young Jewish Leadership PAC today endorsed Edward Lynch for election to Congress in Florida’s 19th District 

The Young Jewish Leadership PAC has endorsed Florida Republican Edward Lynch.

“Edward Lynch is clearly the best person to represent voters in the 19th Congressional District in Florida, and is the clear choice of supporters of Israel” stated Young Jewish Leadership PAC Chairman Lawrence Scheer.  “He will represent an important, independent voice in Congress for the concerns of his district, and has demonstrated a strong and clear commitment, with an outspoken voice, to the national security of both the United States and Israel.  Edward understands that it is critical that all options remain on the table in order to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and does not accept double standards regarding Israel’s right to defend herself.  He knows how important it is that we maintain strong relationships with all of our allies for the sake of our mutual security.  As an entrepreneur, Edward understands the issues facing America’s job creation engine, small business, and the importance of fiscally responsible government for the financial security of all current and future generations. “

“In sharp contrast,” Scheer continued, “stands Edward’s opponent, Ted Deutch. Especially important for pro-Israel voters, there appears to be no daylight between Deutch and President Obama’s dangerous acceptance of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons – an existential threat to Israel and a harmful development to the security of our interests, troops, and allies in the region.  Further, Deutch would be a rubber stamp for the destructive Pelosi agenda of seemingly unending increases in government spending and taxes, and restrictions of our liberties.  Deutch is a declared supporter of Obamacare, which creates a massive government bureaucracy, and contains hundreds of billions of dollars of tax increases and Medicare and Medicare Advantage cuts, jeopardizing the long-term health of benefits that tens of thousands of district seniors rely on. Lastly, it is clear that Ted Deutch does not understand how to help the private sector create jobs, as he has the second lowest rating of any Florida State Senator from the Florida Chamber of Commerce.”

Scheer concluded:  “Voters in District 19 are fortunate to have an experienced, staunchly pro-Israel choice for their next Congressman in Edward Lynch.” 

Beloved Entertainer And Social Commentator/Political Satirist Jackie Mason

 

West Palm Beach, FL, October 21, 2009- Jackie Mason understands that Congressional Democrats' support of Obamacare is no laughing matter, that's one of the reasons he has endorsed Edward Lynch for Congress in Florida's 19^th Congressional District.

 

In one of the most heavily populated Congressional Districts in the country with seniors whose healthcare is being jeopardized by a President and Congressional Democrats who wish to pass a government takeover of the health care system, Jackie Mason has laid his cards on the table and given his full support of Edward Lynch and the seniors residing in the 19^th Congressional District in Florida.

 

"I'm not in the business of doing commercials but one of the things I believe in more than anything else is Edward Lynch. He's a great humanitarian, he would do anything for Israel and he cares about Medicare to make sure the health program that they are trying to sell you right now is not put in place and he is fighting for Medicare.  He talks from the heart", explained Jackie Mason about his rare endorsement.

 

With only 36% of seniors nationally supporting a government takeover of healthcare system, and 59% of seniors opposing this legislation, the legislation is becoming more unpopular as more people learn about its details. Numerous national polls across almost every demographic show that the American people do not want the government dictating or rationing their health care, as would happen if the current legislation being proposed is passed.

 

"This is a telling sign that the people who are most knowledgeable and familiar with our healthcare system- our seniors- are decidedly opposed to all of the different Congressional legislative proposals that will inevitably lead to the rationing of their health care.  It is common sense, if you drastically cut funds to a program, something has got to give and that is care. This truly is the beginning of ?Kevorkian care' for our seniors.  It is up to people of courage to call our elected leaders out when they are wrong, and Jackie Mason understands that Congressional Democrats are leading their flock over the cliffs with this misguided legislation." explained Edward Lynch, candidate for Congress. 

 

"Ted Deutch's fellow Democrats may be dutifully falling in line for him, but Jackie Mason has more candor and honesty than the entire Democrat political machine combined.  It is very rare these days to find a man who is willing to unabashedly speak the truth and let the chips fall where they may, which is perhaps why Mr. Mason has so embraced my candidacy and campaign.  I'm very humbled and grateful for his endorsement, and I look forward to welcoming him to back down to District 19 in the not too distant future to campaign on our behalf."
