Can someone explain who are the ppl behind this push to vote and what is their real agenda? Who is paying for the ad campaign? And does anybody know who is “The Vaad”?
ReplyDeleteCan you explain who you are?
DeleteI do know who is behind it and not sure why they are choosing to remain anonymous, but they are sincere and very competent.
DeleteI’m not giving my opinion or telling anyone what to do.
DeleteNever trust anonymous organizations. Especially when we know who runs the named organizations.
DeleteWho will the UENJ help? Those in yeshiva or everyone? If it goes through will parents actually see a break or will the schools just raise tuition and pocket the money themselves?
ReplyDeleteVote Moshe Bressler for BOE and the others as a write in
ReplyDeleteBecause you post a comment to do so? I've never even heard of this guy Bresler. I'd rather vote for the current members who are experienced.
DeleteExperienced puppets for igud and others who hold seats while they always vacate it after the elections.
DeleteThey have raised taxes tremendously and refuse to look into the real numbers of actual public school students who live in Lakewood. Vote them all out
Moshe bresler. One of us.
DeleteMoshe Bresler's entire agenda is to raise our school taxes. How do you think he plans to pay for the vouchers and everything else on his wishlist?
DeleteHe can't raise taxes more than the state allows, and we're already at the state limit. Nice try. He will advocate from others to pay for these services he's promising. Vote Bresler!
DeleteI used to vote. No longer. I have no idea who any of the people are on the ballot. what did they do for Lakewood? what are their goals? sad.
ReplyDeleteEducate yourself
DeleteMany many people are in this boat. It’s sad but there is very little trust.
DeleteSo you'd rather be lazy and let your quality of life get destroyed, than inquire and learn what's been going on? Sounds like a dumb decision.
Deleteso then let the status quo continue to win
DeleteThey are not sincere and competent. These people have a personal agenda, stay away.
ReplyDeleteOk… thank you for your ridiculous opinion.
DeleteOnly Bresler is checkmark verified l'shmah.
DeleteWhy don't the uenj hold a public meeting to let everyone know what their plan is how they plan on using out bloc vote for their agenda.
ReplyDeleteWe are not sheep who say baaa baaa to the whim anonymous a$$kanim. There should be some respect of the olam not condescending talking down to, like the Lakewood vaad always did
They are playing with the olam using us as pawns in their quest for power. Let them bring down tuition now not with some unrealistic fantasy that came from Adirei hatorah
DeleteI'm ready to vote for whoever kills the proposed Ordinance to legalize banquet halls without enough parking in every zone of our town. Bring back common sense!
ReplyDeleteBasically you buy every possible combination of numbers and make a few hundred million in profit
ReplyDeleteNot a great idea. You would have to spend about $600 million. Lump sum payout much lower than advertised jackpot, knock off huge percentage for taxes, plus the real risk of splitting the prize with other winners, and you there’s a real chance you’re losing money.
DeleteAfter taxes you'd still lose money. And taxes are withheld, so you don't have a choice about it. Although if structured correctly, you might be able to treat the initial investment as a business expense and then only pay taxes on the profits.
DeleteHow do you afford to buy all those millions of tickets, and what if there are other winners who you have to divide the windfall with?

ReplyDeleteQuestion: What can we learn from the election of Elizabeth Holtzman (Democrat, House of Representatives, New York)?
Answer: We can learn that the public is not aware of the necessity of protecting their interests. It’s important for the Orthodox public to finally wake up and protect their interests. The Orthodox Jews have to wake up and realize they have to vote not for what somebody promises to give them some benefit, some handout, some small program or some privilege.
There are Jewish askanim, Orthodox askanim, who are supporting congressmen who are trying to undermine America. The congressman comes to the frum Orthodox askan and he offers him some privileges, so he chaps, he seizes it. “Ah, my shtiebel will get special privileges, my rebbe will get special privileges, my yeshivah will get special privileges.” Meanwhile, he doesn’t care a hoot what’s going to happen to America. This congressman is undermining America!
We have to vote not for a person who promises a handout, a benefit. We vote for the overall benefits to America because when America benefits, the Orthodox Jew is also going to benefit.
America today you have to know is in very great danger because of the liberal forces that are rising in the colleges. We are going to reap a great whirlwind, chas v‘shalom, in the years to come. We’re in a great sakanah in America. Don’t think America is always going to be. America is at the crossroads and it’s up to us to help out as much as we can.
And therefore if we could get somebody in charge who is even a little bit conservative, who tries to stand up for the family, who tries to fight back against the destruction of moral values, that’s who we want. Even though we don’t believe him entirely – it’s election talk, it’s campaign talk – but if at least he talks the right kind of words, that’s the man that we have to vote for. It is very important to be aware of the issues and if you yourself are not fully competent, then you should consult the Torah leaders who know what is what.
BREAKING: There was one Powerball winner in California. The estimated Grand Prize is $2.04 Billion with a Cash Value of $997.6 Million.
ReplyDeleteChutzpah matzav this morning said no winner. Had to be first to report the news even if it’s fake.
ReplyDeleteThere was no winner this morning because the numbers weren't announced yet then.
DeleteIs bressler frum?
ReplyDeleteA ירא שמים and עוסק בצרכי צבור באמונה
DeleteDoes that make you feel better now?
He's eidim by Rav Zimbal of wg.
DeleteFar from yeshivish
ReplyDeleteWow Albert won without any campaigning, the tzibur must really love him.
ReplyDeleteYeah so matzav this morning reported that there was no winner and the jackpot rose to 2.3 billion dollars. That was obviously fake news but they get away with it so why not
ReplyDeleteAmazing I didn’t vote and Chris smith still won!! I’m glad I didn’t waste my time.
