MARTHA ANDERSON For Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Endorsed by Three Major Newspapers: Hillel for colleges, the Anti- Defamation League and B'nai B'rith Youth Organization. But ADL split from B'nai B'rith years ago; more recently, Hillel has gone its own way. This summer, the Jewish college student service pro- gram moved into a sparkling new headquarters a few blocks away. In March 1977, the B'nai B'rith Building was invaded by the Hanafi Muslim sect; dozens of employees were held hostage for 39 hours. More recently, it was the site of one of the nation's first bioterrorism scares. A package in the mailroom oozed a gelatinous substance; a crude label identified it as "anthrachs." Dozens of B'nai B'rith employees went through decontamination procedures on the street, some stripped to their under- wear. The event demonstrated how badly prepared local authorities were for bioterrorism. In fact, the substance proved to be harmless. In recent years, B'nai B'rith rented space to a number of other Jewish organizations, including United Jewish Communities, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the Orthodox Union, NCSJ and Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. In recent weeks, all of those groups moved to new Washington digs. B'nai B'rith itself has moved to a modern office building on K Street — "Gucci Gulch," home to most of the nation's high-priced lobbyists. B'nai B'rith's Klutznik Museum, which occupied the first floor of the old building, will be downsized and eventually reopened, but only on an appointment basis. B'nai B'rith Executive Vice President Dan Mariaschin cast the move in a posi- tive light. "It's a milestone," he said. "The new offices are bright and attractive; it's a 21st century location, and gives us a nice launch into the new century." ❑ • The Detroit News • The Detroit Free Press • The Oakland Press Also received the highest recommendation given to Circuit Court candidates by the Oakland County Bar Association. VOTE ANDERSON! VOTE EXPERIENCE! VOTE AUGUST 6th! www.andersonforjudge.org The Detroit News, July 18, 2002 "Our recommendation is Martha Anderson of Troy. Anderson has been a long- serving referee hearing family matters in the circuit court, and would be a good choice as a judge in the court's family division." The Detroit Free Press, July 19, 2002 "Out of 10 candidates, two stand out, one of which is MARTHA ANDERSON of Troy. Anderson's 22 years as a Circuit Court referee will let her hit the ground running. She is extremely well respected by the Oakland County legal community. Her commitment to stay in the Family Court division even after her assignment is up should be welcomed by the chief judge as well as by the division's clients, who often must play musical judges during the most stressful moments of their lives." The Oakland Press, July 25, 2002 "There are two new Circuit Court judgeships which, not surprisingly, have attracted 10 candidates. Of that group, we endorse MARTHA ANDERSON for (one of) the two new seats."
