  The moral climate of the city we live in, affects the Jewish community as seen many times in the Torah. Mayoral candidate Erick Salgado is the only known candidate in the current New York City mayoral race, committed to safeguarding our moral values. He is opposed to the forced acceptance of Toeiva, which we know normalizes lifestyles that are forbidden (Assur).

Erick Salgado’s campaign needs our votes, our volunteered time and our contribution of funds. Our response needs to be analogous to our response to a charity organization.

It is, therefore, halachically (according to Jewish law) incumbent upon every Jew to assist Mr. Salgado’s campaign in its needs, in order for Erick Salgado to win the mayoral race. Every Jew, registered as a Democrat at the time of the Primary, is obligated to vote for Mr. Salgado.




Through these actions, may we merit the ultimate redemption.
  This psak/endorsement applies regardless of the outcome of the United States Supreme Court decision.

WHY IT’S A MITZVAH TO VOTE FOR

 

Erick Salgado

This year’s unusually complex mayoralty race has, paradoxically, given frum Jews anopportunity to cast a vote for moral values and be counted for K’vod Shamayim.

Alone among all other candidates stands Erick Salgado, a Latino businessman and pastor whose unequivocal supportof traditional societal values has elicited the signed endorsement of 45 Rabbonim, Roshei Yeshiva and Rebbes.

Erick Salgado will receive substantial Latino support in other areas of the city. In Orthodox Jewish communities, votes cast for Salgado will be counted as votes for moral issues. A strong showing will demonstrate that for Torah Jews, moral values count – a highly appropriate outcome in this Holy Day period.

Primary Day is Tuesday September 10,in the middle of Aseres Y’mei T’shuva – a particularly auspicious time to cast a vote for K’vod Shamayim, by voting for Erick Salgado.

 Erick Salgado:
  Is in favor of property tax credits for parents of children in private schools/yeshivas.

Is opposed to government interference in religious practices (e.g. Bris Milah).

Supports the traditional family structure.
