Turning Enthusiasm Into Votes

feiglin votesThere is unmistakable enthusiasm for Moshe Feiglin in the streets. Anybody who wants to feel it is invited to put on a Manhigut Yehudit t-shirt and walk through the center of any Israeli town. You won't be able to get too far before people of all stripes stop you to talk about Feiglin. And the overwhelming majority of them are positive. They want the Jewish majority revolution that Manhigut Yehudit has been talking about. The question, of course, is how to make sure that this grass-roots support is translated into votes. Just because people stop someone wearing a Feiglin t-shirt on the street does not mean that Feiglin will get their vote. It is, however, an excellent starting point.
The media coverage that the primaries provided has gotten the Manhigut Yehudit message into virtually every household in Israel. Now is the time to personally reach out to the Nation of Israel with Manhigut Yehudit's message. That is the way to turn enthusiasm into votes. There is no time to lose and it is important to maintain our primaries momentum. Let's get to work!
Manhigut Yehudit needs your help now more than ever. You can also help create the Jewish majority revolution. Now is the time to support Manhigut Yehudit.

One Quarter and Rising!

One quarter of the Likud members voted in Tuesday's primaries for belief based leadership. The fact that 40% of the Likud members voted (the average for the last three primaries) means that the primaries were a basically accurate reflection of the current Likud voting public. As the Likud is a microcosm of the Israeli public, we can safely assume that at least one quarter of the Israeli public understands that Israel needs a belief based revolution and is willing to vote for it.

One quarter! Not a few settlers, not the religious, not the secular, not one fringe sector or another. One quarter of Israel's population, although subjected to a smear campaign against us, connected to our message and voted for Jewish leadership.

And that is a great achievement. When we remember how we began, with a few articles in a weekly newsletter handed out in a few synagogues; when we remember how people accused us of being nothing more than dreamers, and when we see how our message has now become obvious reality to one quarter of Israel's populace, we feel tremendous fulfillment.

We thank G-d for the awe-inspiring process that we have had the merit to initiate and escort. Clearly, we still have a long way to go. But this achievement renews our energy and motivation to continue to reach out to more and more people -- until we win!

I am filled with admiration for the absolutely phenomenal Manhigut Yehudit volunteers in Israel, the US and worldwide who courageously stood up to the antagonistic mechanism that attempted all the while to trample us. Without these wonderful people, we could never have reached this achievement. Brothers and sisters, you are truly the elite troops of the Nation of Israel. I thank you with all my heart. And if you thought that you can rest now, you are wrong. We have lots of work ahead of us!

Don't be 'down' because you didn't win; this is only the beginning of the rest of the campaign! Continue to tell the truth, that which people are afraid to see or hear, especially when interviewed. Consider it a challenge, as you have in the past: if it is politically incorrect, so be it.
I just did an 'after-election' post on my blog.
