Letter to governor and AG about Rabbi Eisemann

Very well written. This letter should be given as much publicity as possible.

I think people should leave comments on the letter, even short ones, agreeing with it. It is likely they will see it at some point and it's much more impressive if there are tons of comments.

Agreed 100%. Just posted a comment.

Letter to governor and AG about Rabbi Eisemann

https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/an-open-letter-to-governor-phil-murphy-and-attorney-general-matt-platkin/
Very well written...for an audience of TLS readers.  If the goal is to have it read by the Gov and AG, the writer should send 2 separate letters directly to them.

I was once told that politicians do keep tabs on correspondence from us citizens, even if it's only to count the number of pro and con letters.  So when one concerning issue arose, I emailed my opinion (3-4 sentences) to both of my state senators and got a well-thought-out response from 50% of them (explaining why he disagreed).  True, it might have been a form letter intended for all of "my kind" of people, and it might even have been written by some eager poli sci undergrad intern, but at least I had the sense that the senator had some awareness of my viewpoint.

1000%

You'd be shocked how few people actually call or email politicians. I've done it (both to question/disagree with or to thank/encourage them) and they are surprisingly accessible and receptive to hearing from voters.

I strongly encourage people to reach out more often!

This letter was tweeted out by Shlomo Schorr, and the governor's team reads his tweets. It was also tweeted with tags to the governor and the AG, so I'd assume that the advisors of both have already read it.

This can't be the first or even 10th time Murphy has heard about these complaints. All we care about is action.

I understand why this is the case (he's a young sheltered bachur), but it's still embarrassing when someone publicly implies that a crime, which almost certainly had nothing to do with religion, was a hate crime.

There's not much time before to take of everything, especially with a larger family.
