At Least McCain Will Always Have the RJC
Floundering presidential contender John McCain is scheduled to speak at a breakfast of the Republican Jewish Coalition in New York a week from Friday.
Apparently, a $1,000 donation to the RJC buys a picture with the much-fallen front-runner…
As one Republican operative has snarkily observed to me: “Why would he waste his time raising $$$ for the RJC when he needs to raise money for himself?”
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
