Too bad, David Axelrod.
The Crown Heights Political Action Committee (PAC) has released its list of endorsements for the U.S. 2012 elections on Tuesday.
Their preferred next President of the United States is Republican Mitt Romney over incumbent Democrat Barack Obama, COLlive.com was told.
The choice was no surprise ever since the COLlive Street Poll conducted in October of 2012 that showed the vote of this neighborhood in Brooklyn was divided between Jews and African Americans.
While residents of African descent expressed their love for President Obama, the local Chassidic Jews said they were supporting Romney citing different reason, most commonly his rocky relationship with Israel.
What the black and Jewish communities agree on is their equal support for Democratic candidates in the local election.
The Jewish PAC has called for the reelection of Democrat Yvette Clarke as the U.S. Representative for New York’s 9th congressional district, Democrat Eric Adams as NY State Senator of the 20th Senate District, and Democrat Karim Camara as NY Assemblyman of the 43rd Assembly District.
“Community residents are urged to come out and vote. The most important thing is that you show up,” said Zaki Tamir, who heads the PAC and also the Crown Heights Vaad Hakohol representative board.
For selecting U.S. Senator and Judgeships, Tamir simply wrote “Democrats” as well, backing incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand over Republican Wendy Long.
“All of the local representatives named above have worked hard to support our community and we should demonstrate our appreciation by coming out to support them,” Tamir said in a statement.
Other members of the PAC are long-time activist Chanina Sperlin and businessman Moshe Malamud.
Certain blocks of Crown Heights may have different candidates at the State level.

LETS US CLAIM OUR RIGHT TO THE UNEARNED!
LET THE RICH 0R THOSE THAT WORK ON THE BOOKS PAY AND PAY FOR US!
WE DESERVE IT ! IT IS OURS!

DEMOCRATS FOREVER!
In my humble opinion, if want our vote to mean something and count LOCALY, we must vote as a block! If we split our vote we loose any meaningful benefit.
Not sure why my previous comment wasn’t posted but #6 is on the ball. Vote GOP except for Adams he’s earned our vote and
has a big chance at being the next mayor and will actually respect us unlike Bloomberg.
I am not #11 but I have doubts about your notion of ‘reality’.
Everything he or she said is correct if you’ve been following the democratic political agendas at all.
With all due respect to the PAC, it isn’t clear that any Democrat has done enough for this community to take our votes for granted. Furthermore, they all vocally support Hussein Obama. My vote is straight Republican, maybe there will be a small message in it.
Wake up to reality.
a Republican President CANNOT put through his agenda without a Republican house & senate.
The democratic party platform did not recognize the holiness of Yerushalayim to the Jewish people, the respect for the name of G-d, and the respect for the Torah value of marriage between a man and woman. How can someone vote for this? If someone chooses to run as a democrat, he or she is endorsing these unholy agendas.

To the Vaad and the PAC, thank you for your work.
In addition to giving of yourself, you endure bushes and those that know how to TZAP BLOOT.
I for one (as I am sure many others) thank you.
All the brochos of Yekum Purkon should be mekuyem by you and yours.
…Stuart (Shmaria) Balber! (Not KC).
Ask NOT what your country did for you, ASK, what I can do for my country.
The first comment to all articles, (without fail is almost all the time) the smartest…
Stand by the counters and see who pays how??? (If you know what I mean).
Why should we vote for the democratic local offices? What did they do for us?
