If you could talk to the presidential candidates, what would you tell them?

Seventeen men and one woman are seeking the nomination of their parties for President of the United States. In the coming months, they will develop and present their platforms and priorities.

Many Jewish organizations are taking advantage of this opportunity to present their agenda on behalf of the Jewish community. But is their agenda also your agenda?

As American Jews, we have a broad range of priorities.

Child Care. Civil Rights. Education. Environment. Health Care. Housing. Immigration. Katrina/Rita. Seniors. Wages.

jspot.org, Hazon, Isabella Freedman Retreat Center, Jdub Records, Jewcy.com, Jewish Student Press Service, Jews for Racial & Economic Justice, Jews United for Justice, Jewschool.com, Moishe/Kavod House Boston, Progressive Jewish Alliance, The Shalom Center, The Tribe, VelveteenRabbi.com, and Workmen's Circle/Arbiter Ring want you to be a part of creating a domestic Jewish agenda for the 2008 election that represents your priorities.

The plan is simple. Thousands of Jews come together to create a domestic agenda that represents our interests. We send this agenda to every presidential candidate and request a written response. As candidates reply we publicize their views on our websites, via email, and through the press.

If you want to see a presidential campaign where the candidates address your concerns, you have to tell them what you think.

Think it is about time that regular Jews had a chance to shape a Jewish agenda? Think it is about time someone told the presidential candidates that American Jews care deeply about domestic issues? Think it is about time we used the internet to make the Jewish community more representative?

Then help spread the word about this campaign. Email your friends. Place this badge on your website. Write a post for your blog.

Thanks for your support - I'll do my best to post updates daily.
