"This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."
-President Obama to Russian President Medvedev, March 2012
This infamous hot-mic moment is now a reality that shows President Obama's true colors. Having been re-elected, the President is snubbing the Jewish community by nominating Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense.
The RJC needs your support to continue our opposition to Chuck Hagel's nomination as Secretary of Defense. Please join as a paid member now and help us show that Hagel's record regarding Israel and his positions on Iran raise serious concerns for Americans who care about a strong and effective U.S. policy in the Middle East.
The nomination of Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense is a potentially HUGE blow for those that care about the U.S.-Israel relationship. Join us today in the fight to stop Hagel from reaching the Pentagon.
Your online contribution will help us to counter Obama's nomination for Secretary of Defense. The RJC was the first major Jewish organization to oppose the Hagel nomination and we continue leading the charge on every front. Your support makes this all possible.
There is still time to call your U.S. Senators and tell them to vote "NO" on Chuck Hagel's nomination. Information about how to contact your U.S. Senators can be found here or by calling 202-224-3121.
We appreciate your continued involvement in the RJC and for joining us in this important fight. We need your help!
Thanks,
Noah Silverman
RJC Congressional Affairs Director
