The series of ads entitled "I Used to Be a Democrat" tell the true-life, political journeys of former Jewish Democrats. While the circumstances may vary, one common theme persists among them: Each is now a Jewish Republican.
In one ad, Glenn M. Taubman of Annandale, Va says: "I don't agree with the Republicans on every issue, but the Democratic Party just doesn't represent me anymore." In another, Stephen Rosenbach of Arnold, Md says: "I couldn't stay in the party dominated by the far left who won't stand up to the threat posed by Iran, Syria and growing radical Islamic extremism." The ads also encourage other former Jewish Democrats to share their political journeys with the RJC.
"The ads reflect the movement we've witnessed for years: More and more American Jews express serious misgivings with the direction of the Democratic Party. Again and again, they are finding that the Republican Party better represents their concerns ranging from national security to the well-being of the state of Israel," said RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks.
The ads will run in major Jewish newspapers across the country through late spring or early summer.
