ernment funding for sectarian social welfare projects — as well as his sup- port for school vouchers and his war on terror, which they feel has eroded civil liberties. Marshall Breger, a liaison to the Jewish community in the Reagan White House, says the Bush adminis- tration is "cherry picking" allies from among Jewish groups. "If you're at odds with the administration on so many issues, from A to Z, there is less to talk to you about," said Breger, now a professor at Catholic University School of Law. Matthew Brooks, executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, says almost all Jewish groups have had opportunities to meet with the presi- dent and other senior administration officials since Bush came to office. "I vehemently and fundamentally dis- agree with the notion" that some have been shut out, Brooks said. "They have opened up the White House to the entire Jewish community." Bush supporters speak of a deliber- ate plan to vary the voices the presi- dent hears, which they say is consis- tent with his outreach to other minor- ity groups. "He is trying to reach out, as he is in everything he's doing, to a broader cross-section of the Jewish communi- ty," said Fred Zeidman, a Bush friend from Texas whom the president appointed as chairman of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, which oversees the Washington museum. As the 2004 presidential election campaign heats up, outreach to Jews is expected to increase, since Jewish vot- ers can be a pivotal group even though Jews make up only about 2 percent of the American population. Republican circles believe Bush's handling of the war on terrorism and the Middle East — from Iraq to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — will be rewarded with fund-raising dollars and perhaps the largest percentage of the Jewish vote a Republican presidential candidate has ever seen. "It would be a shocking display of ingratitude if American Jews were not to support this president after all he has done against terrorism that choos- es Jews worldwide as its first victims," Frum said. Republicans will continue making that case to American Jewish voters directly, driving home the notion that Bush is working for them. Popular support among American Jews, Frum hopes, may even push com- munity leaders to rethink their political opinions — bringing them closer to those of the administration.
