Mark Reed -- Silence is Consent!

Mark Reed, GOP candidate for Congress in Los Angeles.

Israel’s very existence is threatened and the current administration continues to treat it and its Prime Minister not as close allies but as insignificant. Now, Brad Sherman and Howard Berman, my two opponents in the upcoming primary for California’s 30th District Congressional seat, are both quietly distancing themselves from the very same person they helped elect -- only to get themselves re-elected! I’m not challenging their support for, or emotional connection to, Israel; however, I want you to take a serious look at their silence concerning the Middle East and the State of Israel, our only true friend in the region.  I would speak loudly and clearly in opposition to: The Palestinian Authority’s Resolution for state recognition to the U.N. President Obama’s demand for Israel to return to the 1967 borders. The growing dominance of the Muslim Brotherhood in the region. The spread of Sharia Law in the region and in the United States. The failure of the sanctions imposed on Iran and North Korea. The Democrat endorsement of the Anti-Semitic J Street lobbyist group (including  the personal endorsement by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz). The support for multinational resolutions to strip Israel of nuclear weapons. The refusal to approve any major Israeli request for U.S. weapons platforms  or advanced systems. The sale of such systems to Muslim nations which do not have a viable peace  treaty with Israel. President Obama’s treatment of Prime Minister Netanyahu during his first  visit to the White House. The condemnation of settlement building in Ramat Shlomo, the Jewish suburb  of North Jerusalem. President Obama’s obsequious bowing to Muslim leaders. President Obama’s sacrifice of U.S.-Israeli relations. President Obama’s failure to visit Israel. This list could go on forever. The final question you need to ask yourself is whether you will be better off if you send Sherman and Berman back to Washington, D.C. to represent us. The existential threat portrayed in my ad is real.  And the horrific outcome portrayed has a far greater likelihood of becoming real if we do not change course.  We need to send these two rubber stamps home and elect a representative that will lead and not follow their party dictates.  That is why I produced this ad. I am not afraid to represent you in Washington, D.C. and challenge my party when the time calls for it. If this is what you want, please forward this email to everyone you know nationally and internationally. Contribute what you can so that, together, we can send a strong  message. God Bless you and God Bless America, Mark Reed
