September 28, 2012

It's that time again. Campaign season is in full swing, and the Super PACs are out to win your vote.

The Jewish Council on Education and Research (JCER) yesterday released a new ad for Obama featuring movie star Samuel L. Jackson. His message for voters: “Wake the f**k up!”
 
Also yesterday, the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) released a 9 minute “mini-documentary” called “Perilous Times,” in which they attack Obama for his treatment of Netanyahu and question his pro-Israel credibility.
 
Among other notable campaign ads from the Jewish community are RJC's “Deeds” and JCER's “Let My People Vote 2012” with Sarah Silverman.
