We are the oldest democratic political party in the world and the American Jewish Community’s connection to the party stretches back to its very first days under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson. Since the 1920’s the Democratic party has been the natural home of the American Jewish Community.
President Obama shares the community's priorities and has implemented policies that resonate with Jewish values. His administration has forged an unprecedented security relationship between the state of Israel and the United States. The President's domestic policies on a range of issues—from economic security to separation of church and state to a woman's right to choose—are supported by a large majority of Jewish Americans and stand in sharp contrast to the policies of his critics.
Ironclad Commitment
This week President Obama announced his 2013 budget proposal, which included the largest-ever aid package to Israel. For fiscal year 2013, the President requested $3.1 billion, up from $3.075 billion in FY 2012 and $2.994 billion in FY 2011, in assistance that will enable Israel to maintain its Qualitative Military Edge. In the wake of regional uncertainty, this announcement demonstrates the President’s continued ironclad commitment to Israel and her security.

Unprecedented financial commitment to Israel’s security
Under the Obama administration, Israel continues to be the leading beneficiary of U.S. security assistance funds from the Foreign Military Finance Program, sending Israel the largest-ever security assistance in 2011.
I still believe in Barack Obama and his sincerity to make meaningful and lasting changes in our government in support of America's middle class... and I know that the Republicans have no intention of ever doing that.
