First line should read:
“Both Republican Jews assailed U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for saying he wanted a summit of the United States and Muslim nations.”
Your attempt at humor is ill-advised. Turns out that the Republican Jewish Coalition, the organization that is the subject of this article, has a membership in the tens of thousands and is growing at a rapid rate. Plus, that membership includes several prominent individuals who hold or have held important polical offices is the past and present. The current President Bush has addressed the RJC on a number of occasions, and most of the 2008 GOP presidential candidates appeared at the RJC candidates forum last fall. The RJC has a national office within a short distance of the Capitol and has over 40 regional chapters around the country.
The RJC national HQ web site is rjchq.org .
