Yes, it's really sad. When you have no other choice, you can't really be faulted for reaching for any straw. You figure it can't really be worse if you're dying anyway.
Of course you can't blame the family for grasping at straws, the question is what am I as a good yid supposed to do? Sign to make the family feel supported, supporting this scammer in his agenda?
I signed to make the family feel supported, and trusted the govt that they won't give in.
Mother was on jroute last night (98.6 fm in ny) , she said even though they got the petitions, the white house is still not granting it. She also requested that 8th come in to sing for her son, afaik they were able to arrange it.
