Say No To Keith Elison for DNC Chair - Sign Petition NOW!

New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind has started this petition calling on Senator Chuck Schumer to withdraw his support for Rep. Keith Ellison to be head of the Democratic National Committee. Please go here to sign it.

Ellison in 2008 accepted $13,350 from MAS to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The Muslim American Society is a Muslim Brotherhood organization: “In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.” That’s from the Chicago Tribune in 2004, in an article that is now carried on the Muslim Brotherhood’s English-language website, Ikhwanweb.)

Ellison has spoken at a convention of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Yet ISNA has actually admitted its ties to Hamas, which styles itself the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Justice Department actually classified ISNA among entities “who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood.”

Also, CAIR raised large amounts of for Ellison’s first campaign, and he has spoken at numerous CAIR events. Yet CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups.

“Senator Schumer: Keith Ellison is a toxic choice for DNC Chair,” Dov Hikind, Change.org:

Senator Schumer: We urge you to withdraw your support for Keith Ellison to be the next Chair of the Democratic National Committee. 

Keith Ellison is a most polarizing choice. Not only are his views radical, but they are divisive. Whether his embracing of Louis Farrakhan or his support of the one-sided Goldstone Report, he is not the right choice.

• Ellison voted against funding for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system in 2014.
• In December 2010, Ellison said that American foreign policy is governed by Israeli interests.
• His antipathy towards Israel and Jews is crystal clear.

Senator Schumer, pull the plug on your support for Ellison. He will be a disaster for the Democratic party.
