Eric M. Colchamiro, Field Director, eric@njdc.orgUPDATES: In observance of Yom Kippur, the NJDC Philadelphia will not be scheduling campaign-related events for Friday or Saturday. On behalf of all of us here at the NJDC, we wish you an easy fast and a reflective start to the new year. This Sunday, September 26th, 6 p.m. – (Cell phone) “Banking in the Burbs!” Join us this Sunday, 6 p.m., at 276 Barwynne Lane in Wynnewood. Bring your cell phone, as we reach out to Jewish voters in nearby Montgomery County. For the first of our weekly “Banking in the Burbs”, we will talk about issues that matter to Jews in this area. IF YOU CAN’T MAKE IT INTO CENTER CITY, come to Banking in the Burbs! =============================================================== Supporters- The time is now. The polls show a statistical dead heat in Pennsylvania and nationally, and it is time for YOU to be involved. If there is something that we need to do, a place we need to be, contact us. You are the base of engaged Jewish Philadelphians, who we need to capture the Jewish vote. Do not take your responsibility for granted…get involved, and work hard to convince voters that John Kerry is best for Israel and Jewish values. In 2000, Florida was decided by just over 500 votes. In 2004, the Jewish vote in the Philadelphia region, which numbers far more than 500, will make the difference! GET INOLVED!
