Md. Jewish lawmakers sign on for Obama


Published: 02/10/2008

A slate of Maryland Jewish Democratic lawmakers endorsed Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president.

State Attorney General Douglas Gansler, five state lawmakers, two officials of suburban Montgomery County and a host of Jewish leaders signed on to an e-mail letter backing Obama as part of a campaign for the Jewish vote ahead of Tuesday's state primary.

"The time for change, the time for a leader who will heal, unify and make the world a better, kinder and safer place for our children, grandchildren is NOW," said the letter sent to Maryland Jews. "We believe that Barack Obama is such a leader."

Along with Maryland, primaries will be held Tuesday in Virginia and the District of Columbia.

Obama won the three state contests on Saturday, in Louisiana, Nebraska and Washington state, beating U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) by wide margins.
