Ross Perot's campaign is
showing increasing signs of
"politics as usual," says a
Washington Jewish activist
who was briefly involved
with the billionaire's cam-
paign.
Jennifer Laszlo, a political
consultant active in Jewish
causes who specializes in
grass-roots organizing, join-
ed the Perot campaign to
help organize its somewhat
disorganized effort around
the U.S.
She tried to persuade top
Perot advisors to adopt a
grass-roots campaign that
would have volunteers work
on specific issues, such as job
training programs.
"The idea was to show
voters in very concrete terms
what Perot would do for
America," she said.
"Something like that has
never been done in a presi-
dential campaign."
After an initial flurry of
interest in Ms. Laszlo's
ideas, Perot advisors asked
her to organize specific in-
terest groups for the Texan's
candidacy.
"This campaign was not
supposed to be 'business as
usual,' " she said. "The
whole idea was to have peo-
ple work as a team, not to
separate minority groups
and appeal to them separate-

Ross Perot:
Goodbye to grass roots?

Ms. Laszlo is disillusioned
with the retreat from th
grass-roots surge tha,
originally marked the Perot
effort, but still believes a
Perot presidency would be
good for the Jewish com-
munity. Referring to the ad-
vice on grass roots democ._
racy she has recently given
top Russian and Czech polit-
ical operatives, Ms. Laszlo
said, "I thought this (the
Perot campaign) was a
unique opportunity to bring
the kinds of changes we've
seen around the world back
home."

Pa. Senate Race
Turns Dirty

In Pennsylvania, one of
the nation's hottest — and
ugliest — Senate races is be-
ing waged between Lynn
Yeakel and Sen. Arlen
Specter, R-Pa., one of a
handful of Jewish senators.
A whispering campaign in
the Jewish community
against Ms. Yeakel is link-
ing her to Israel-bashing
sessions at Bryn Mawr Pres-
byterian Church in the
Philadelphia area. She is a
trustee of the church.
Even some pro-Israel ac-
tivists vvho support Mr.
Specter are disturbed by the
relentlessness of the attacks
on Ms. Yeakel.
As one pro-Israel activist

on Capitol Hill said,
"Specter has been very im-
portant to Israel. But it's not
smart politics to alienate our
potential friends."
Yet, at a recent briefing by
members of Americans fog
Peace Now, Ms. Yeakel con-
tested Peace Now's position
on linking loan guarantees
to a change in Israel's set-
tlements policies.
"What impressed me is
that she was honest enough,
to tell us where she dis:
agreed with us. She didn't
pander," said Gail
Pressberg, co-director of the
Center for Israeli Peace and
Security, a Peace Now af-
filiate.
