A group of orthodox Jews in New York have formed a group called Jews Pick Rick to boost Rick Santorum’s campaign. Thus far, the group has decided to issue press releases on Santorum’s positions that are relevant to the orthodox Jewish community. “The sole goal of Jews Pick Rick is to turn the Orthodox community into Santorum territory, spreading Rick’s conservative message to Boro Park, Flatbush, Monsey, Lakewood and Five Towns,” the group’s spokesperson said. The group noted that Romney’s Jewish advisors are more secular, while “there are several distinctly Orthodox names in Santorum’s list” and that “Santorum has a longstanding relationship with Agudath Israel, and the Orthodox community in his home state of Pennsylvania speaks highly of him.” (h/t New York Observer)
