"A Williamsburg community activist who would be the first Hasidic Jew on the City Council if elected has decided to run for David Yassky's seat. Isaac Abraham, a hardware store owner and tenants advocate, said he is responding to "very strong" pressure from friends, colleagues and community residents to seek the post Yassky must vacate in 2009 due to term limits...Abraham is the fourth candidate to announce plans to run for Yassky's seat."--NYDNLabels: Politics, Shortlink, Williamsburg

Isaac Abraham called on all Jewish voters nationwide to abandon the Democratic Party and switch to the Republican Party or the Independence Party. This guy should not be the Democratic candidate for City Council. For more information see:

Also, Abraham admitted to writing a negative attack of Ferrer in 2001that stated that he was supported by terrorists. See: http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0142,robbins,29154,5.html
