I would love to be the lawyer who takes on your case.

I agree with 30

it is against the Jewish law to rent or sell to a non Jew and a Jewish neighborhood

This Kingston ave used to be a Jewish neighborhood

Thanks to a handful of greedy yidden that are bringing in all the goyim in to our community.

That sign was up there for yeeaaars!!!

They should put them up again
August 12, 2015 6:10 pm

Were the signs hung on public property or an obstruction to traffic? If not, they should be put back up.

Know you facts
August 12, 2015 5:48 pm

A vote of “no” may actually be a “yes”! Look at the wording of the bill more closely.

Few days ago I saw a car full of Gentiles stopping at the sign, very angry, and taking photos, obviously to report. They found the sign to be insulting.
From certain distance you can only see big leters. Risky, controversial design,

Congresswoman Clarke's office 718-287-1142

Congresswoman Clarke’s office 718-287-1142

To #22
August 12, 2015 2:56 pm

D.C number 1-202-225-6231 Brooklyn 718 287-1142

hypocrites
August 12, 2015 1:47 pm

if it was an anti-Semitic sign they wouldn’t dare touch it!!!

whats the number
August 12, 2015 1:00 pm

what is Clarke’s number, I’d like to call.

To 18
August 12, 2015 12:54 pm

yay hooray. She went to the meeting but refuses to hold her own public discussion. A true leader.

NYPD
August 12, 2015 12:40 pm

NYPD is saying that someone important asked that the signs be taking down. The banner on Brooklyn came down after someone called 311 and they sent a firetruck not a whole team. Drew your own conclusion.

She needs more pressure
August 12, 2015 12:27 pm

Congresswoman Clarke represents a nice chunk of Jewish Flatbush as well as most of Crown Heights there needs to be a mega campaign of e-mails and phone calls to Congresswoman Clarke to make sure how her VOTING constituents feel and pressure her to vote accordingly. If she gets enough pressure she will vote against.

I called TWICE!!!!
August 12, 2015 9:31 am

I called ONCE, to RESPECTFULY ask Congresswoman Clarke to VOTE NO.

I called AGAIN to thank the congresswoman for attending the meeting with Congressman Jeffries.

To commenter # 14
August 12, 2015 9:28 am

How right you are. Out of Bllee Ayin Horoa 10,000 plus Crown Heightener’s, a hand full show up.

Thank you Congresswoman Clarke (and staffers) for attending.

Seriously?
August 12, 2015 6:58 am

What do they think they’re doing? The government is just trying to pull the blinds over people’s eyes, to hide the fact that Iran wants us all dead; just so they can go along with the deal. I hope this makes it to the outside news.

והוי דן כ ל (ה)אדם לכף זכות...... Benefit of the doubt…
August 12, 2015 6:49 am

I cannot jump to the conclusion that the office of the congresswoman had the sign removed.

The signs were hanging for 2 weeks.

The office could have removed it in 2 minutes, after they were displayed.

TALK>>>TALK>>>>TALK>>>
August 12, 2015 6:42 am

TALK, TALK, and more TALK.

The event held by the Congressman Jeffries last night was attended by (I would estimate) 350-400 people.

FROM Crown Heights about EIGHT people attended……

“WHICH INCLUDED CONGRESSWOMAN YVETTE CLARKE AND THREE OF HER STAFF?”

We need to PRESSURE OUR BIG TALKERS!!!!!

something fishy going on here
August 12, 2015 1:06 am

who asked that these signs be taken off?
All of a suuden they take off signs
and together with it, the Moshiach Sign.
We want it back!!!!!!!!

Call Even More
August 12, 2015 12:06 am

If we show them that we are serious about the deal even though they are trying to silence us, they will realize that we will won’t go away easily.
Call Congresswoman Clarke’s office 718-287-1142 and urge her to vote no!

what?
August 11, 2015 11:45 pm

what do the moshiach signs have to do with anything???

Please do
August 11, 2015 11:14 pm

Take down all the signs and other paraphernalia

this can be interpereted as an anti semitic move, not a good idea Congressman Clarke
August 11, 2015 8:04 pm

signs have been hanging over kingston avenue for years and have not been a problem. a few weeks after the iran sign goes up. SUDDENLY it becomes a problem to have signs up.

what happened to freedom of speech?!!

the middle eastern mindset is a very different one than the american or western mindset.

many americans unfortunately don’t understand this.

Can they help remove....
August 11, 2015 7:49 pm

Maybe they can help remove all the anti chabad signs that hang inside 770?

I agree with #6
August 11, 2015 7:44 pm

This is pure political intimidation. And of course the tax payer paid for those expensive unionized workers.

call
August 11, 2015 7:29 pm

all the more reason to call the congresswomen to vote no

moshiach now
August 11, 2015 7:26 pm

why take off the signs/ what is yvette clark thinking?

They can take down all those signs..!
August 11, 2015 7:22 pm

But the sign saying ‘Moshiach is on his way’ can’t come down. It just can’t! Like no way! It’s the Rebbe’s sign!

freedom of speech?!!!
August 11, 2015 7:18 pm
Oh no!!
August 11, 2015 7:07 pm

I really hope that the Moshiach Sign isn’t down! The sign that keeps up the walls of crown heights!

Moshiach sign
August 11, 2015 6:59 pm

Did they remove the Moshiach sign?
Hope they didn’t it constantly reminds me to do my part to bring Moshiach closer!!!
