The opening as it read in 2015

National Jewish Democratic Council ( NJDC ) is a political lobbying organization dedicated to promoting Jewish values within the Democratic Party and the political process. The NJDC is outspoken in support of a strong U.S.- Israel relationship, Separation between Church and State (in the US), and pro-choice . The NJDC engages in voter education efforts and works with secular and Jewish media to promote the Democratic Party and its ideals. The organization also serves as a resource to candidates throughout the country, helping them understand issues of importance to the Jewish community. In addition, the NJDC serves as a liberal watchdog on the lawful activities of the religious portion of the Right, acting to raise public awareness about efforts to undermine the wall between church and state. These efforts are in furtherance of a solidly liberal agenda that NJDC promotes. In 2007, its Annual Washington Conference attracted every major Democratic candidate for president, the Israeli Ambassador to the United States , and several party leaders, including Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer . NJDC worked on the national level to help turn out Jewish voters in the 2004 elections and 2008 elections , provide voter education, and fight against the radical right at every level. NJDC also works to send voter guides and direct mail to targeted Jewish households. In 2004, NJDC targeted 250,000 Jewish households in swing states with an intensive direct mail campaign.1
