"Jews for Jesus" Leader Responds to Attacks on Group and Palin

By Jeralyn

Jews for Jesus leader David Brinker in One Day in Wasilia, responds to attacks on the speech he gave at Sarah Palin's church in Wasila. The Palins were in attendance.

The groups mission statement says:

We exist to make the messiahship of Jesus an unavoidable issue to our Jewish people worldwide.

Here are their core values. Here's what it takes to "get saved."

If you know any Jewish voters, please forward this to them. Particularly if they live in Florida. They can assess for themselves the danger of giving any voice in government to these extremist radical right groups. Update below:

Update: This is not an attack on Sarah Palin's religion. It is meant to reach those voters who can appreciate why James Dobson decided to vote for John McCain once Palin, an evangelical, was added to the ticket. It's about the quid pro quo James Dobson and other fundamentalist groups will extract from McCain if elected.

Ask yourself what happens if evangelicals get a say in picking our next Supreme Court Justices, which they are determined to do through their political activism and support of candidates.

For those who believe strongly in the separation of church and state and in preserving the independence of our courts, this is quite relevant.

Florida right now according to polls is leaning McCain/Palin. I think, and hope, that can be changed.
