Have a bubbe, zayde, other relative or friend who lives in one of the swing states of Florida, Ohio or Pennsylvania?

Write to them through JAFC in 800 words or less about why as an American Jew you're voting for Obama/Biden. A panel of judges will select the best letters and post them to this page on our site. We plan to excerpt winning letters in ads to be placed in the Jewish or general press in swing states.

When you're ready, click on the “Write My Bubbe” link to submit a letter for publication on our site and in ads in swing states. The page has a form to complete, and lots of suggestions.

Submitting your letter will give JAFC permission to publish your letter on this website, and possibly in a swing state ad in the Jewish or general press (names of recipient or writer may be kept confidential at the writer's request).

This is the most essential reason why educated young people, including the vast majority of Jewish college–age and post-college students, are fervent supporters of the Obama campaign.
