Now that HRC is confirmed for SC that night, have we regretted this
invitation? Another one of our donors, Arthur Schechter, brought this up to
HRC last night.

What do we think about offering a video?

Just to be clear, we don't have to do this, just putting on the screen
because it's a super friendly Jewish audience. I would only think about it
if Dennis could use time there. But not a priority.

We do not have plans to be in Orlando on November 7th -- we could be if we
HAD to be and everyone agreed this was a priority.

Keep in mind that assuming we lock in Clyburn/SC Democratic Party on
November 6th -- that is a presidential forum the day before which is
broadcast on MSNBC.

John,

David Saperstein asked me to follow up on his conversation with you today
about the invitation from the Union for Reform Judaism to Secretary Clinton
to participate in our first-ever candidates’ forum.  A copy of the
invitation is attached.

The forum will be part of the URJ”s Biennial General Assembly, the largest
conference in North American Jewish life.  We will have some 5,000
community leaders – rabbis, temple presidents, social action chairs –  at
the conference in Orlando, and tens of thousands more joining us online.  I
cannot imagine a better audience for Secretary Clinton.  In fact, over the
past year as I have asked groups who they would most like to hear from, the
Secretary was the overwhelming first choice.  No one else was even close.

I would, of course, be happy to answer any questions,  provide any further
information, or speak to anyone about logistics.  (My contact information
is below; in addition, I can always be reached on my cell, 202/841-0617.)

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Mark
