Dave Honigman now wants to become the first Jewish
Republican ever to be eleCted a Michigan Congressman,
and he needs our help.

Dave has always been there for us, serving us, on the
Michigan Board of Directors of the Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai Brith, the Jewish Vocational Service and
the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

The Anti-Defamation League needed a well respected
legislator to sponsor legislation to crack down hard on
bigots who commit crimes against Jews and other
minorities. Dave Honigman was there for us. And the
Honigman Hate Crimes and Ethnic Intimidation Act was
passed into law.

The Anti-Defamation League needed a vigorous
advocate for legislation to protect Jews and other
minorities from domestic terrorism. Dave Honigman
was there for us. And the Honigman Anti-Domestic
Terrorism Act was passed by the legislature and signed
into law by Governor Blanchard.

Honigman led the protest, in person before Farrakhan
and in the media before the people of Michigan. Dave
Honigman was there for us.

Dave Honigman was there for us to host the 1990
Holocaust Memorial Ceremonies at the State Capitol
And when the American/Israel Political Affairs
Committee (AIPAC) needed a much admired legislator
to introduce Israeli diplomats to state legislators and to
act as an advocate for Israel, Dave Honigman was there
for us.

When national Jewish leaders gathered to select the
next generation of Jewish leadership, they asked Dave
Honigman to serve. With others of his generation from
across the country, Dave participated in a 2-year
program to pass Jewish traditions and values on to the
next generation of American/Jewish leaders.

Dave Honigman has been a pioneer for us. Dave
Honigman has always been there when we needed
him. Now, he needs us.

Be there for Dave August 4th. Whether you're a
Republican , Democrat or Independent, cast your vote
for Dave Honigman in the Republican primary for the
U.S. Congress. Make him the first Jewish Republican
ever elected from Michigan to serve in the U.S.
Congress. Dave will continue to make us proud.
