| URGENT ACTION ALERT!! 29 Jan 2001 Steinberg, Yehoshua Ysteinberg@ndsisrael.com> Lo alecha hamelacha ligmor...velo ata ben chorin lehibatel mimena. Dear Friend, As you know, the upcoming Feb. 6 Israeli election is a most critical one. The results will send a message to the entire world as to where Israelis stand on the issue most dear to our nation - Jerusalem herself. As many political analysts have pointed out, it is not enough to squeak out a victory. We must aim for the largest landslide Israel has ever known!! If there is such a landslide, no subsequent Israeli politician will ever dare touch the issue again (at least soon), the US will realize that we won't be easily bullied into this kind of a deal, and the world at large and the Arab world specifically will bestow grudging respect on an Israeli public that is unified on at least one issue. Such a victory cannot be taken for granted. We must put in effort to help achieve it, with Hashem's help. But our opponents are also looking for victory, and they have demonstrated in the past that they are capable of less than gentlemanly tactics. We're focusing on one thing, because of its vital importance: supervision of the polling centers. Our Plan On Election Day in May 1999, there were numerous reports of questionable activities at the polling centers themselves. Specifically, left-wing election supervisors were reportedly hassling voters in religious areas by examining their documents to an unreasonable extent, among other tactics. The delays were such that some citizens returned home without voting. Meanwhile, voting in Arab villages was widely reported to be with little or no Jewish supervision, and voting there was, shall we say, somewhat suspect. As the saying goes, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." Since they got away with it in 1999 with nary a peep, they're likely to try it again this time. If they do and we do nothing about it, we will have only ourselves to blame. Election Day is a national day off; there's no excuse not to volunteer at least on that day, and a lot of people will be more than happy to. Yes, we need drivers to get the elderly, etc. That's laudable. But we are also trying to organize strong groups - we're aiming for three to five volunteers at each location - for supervisory work at voting booths in the following sectors: * Each and every Israeli Arab area * Each and every kibbutz/moshav and other left-wing strongholds * Each and every religious area to keep the left's supervisors under control. * Optimally, each group should possess video/audio recording equipment to record the goings on. People in the assigned group will receive training to know what to look for and how to deal with the variety of challenges they may face depending on locale, from questionable IDs to harassment of voters to outright violence. We will deal with these and all questions in serious training sessions. Organization of Election Day volunteers will be handled by the Likud, headed by General (Reserves) Meir Dagan and Gil Avtovi (03-6210613), with Israel Action Alliance volunteers running interference as necessary.

THIS IS VITAL WORK! The fate of Jerusalem depends on this election, and the lot of our people is inextricably tied to that of the Holy City. We need to be there for her now, as she has been there for us century after century.
