When North Hempstead residents vote on Nov. 3 for town officials, many will undoubtedly remember the Democratic officials’ August letter to Sen. Schumer and others in support of the Israeli Prime Minister’s and Zionist Organization of America’s opposition to the nuclear deal with Iran.
They will reward those officials with re-election votes.
On the other hand, I hope citizens, such as I, who supported the American president’s (and secretary of state’s) brave stance to slow the spread of all-out-Middle-East-and-perhaps-world war, will boycott these officials, who were led by Supervisor Judi Bosworth.
And although the Republicans have been just as wrong on the issue of the multi-nation nuclear agreement, it was the Democrats’ use of official elected titles in signing the letter that for this Democrat earned continuing dismay.
If the issue had been one of local concern, such as a transportation or gun control matter, a letter to federal officials might have been appropriate, but on an extremely important matter of foreign policy, it was unpardonable.
Next time don’t sign in my name!
