RJC launches Sestak issue ad in PA.
Washington, D.C. (August 16, 2010) -- Today the RJC launched the first phase of what will be a significant and substantial issue advocacy effort in Pennsylvania to highlight the very troubling record of Congressman Joe Sestak on Israel and other issues of concern to the Jewish community. The RJC’s issue advocacy effort will be comprehensive in its scope and will include TV spots, direct mail, phone calls, and grassroots level activism by our members.
Our first television ad, entitled “Rockets,” highlights the fact that Joe Sestak was one of the “Gaza 54” – a group of 54 Democrats who signed a letter to President Obama, urging him to pressure Israel to ease its security restrictions on the border of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip at a time when innocent Israeli civilians were still under attack from missiles being launched from Gaza.
The first ad buy, starting Tuesday, August 17, will last two weeks and will run extensively on cable. It will also include several buys during Phillies games in the midst of the hotly contested pennant race.
RJC Executive Director Matthew Brooks said the following: “The RJC is launching this major issues advocacy effort in Pennsylvania because, like so many in the Jewish community, we are deeply troubled by the record of Congressman Joe Sestak when it comes to Israel. In May we released a ‘fact sheet’ highlighting the congressman’s record in detail. When it comes to Israel, Congressman Joe Sestak has been so wrong, for so long. We want to make the larger community aware of our concerns.”
