Meet Bryna Franklin

Bryna Franklin of Jerusalem is a lifelong Democrat and former chair of Democrats Abroad Israel. She voted for a Republican for President for the first time in her 80 years when she voted this year for Mitt Romney.

Bryna, a delegate to the 1992 Democratic National Convention and who served for years as vice chair of the Franklin County Democratic Central Committee in Missouri, explained her decision as stemming from a deep disappointment in President Obama on a range of issues.

Bryna has been an active and committed Democrat her whole life. But this year, like many other Jewish Democrats, she is calling on her fellow Jews across America to support Mitt Romney.

Watch her story here.

Just another example of the effects of senility. I knew a woman who never had a car accident until she reached her 80's and plowed through the front of a convenience store.

Obama does not back Israel, just because he said he would at a debate. He himself said if Israel attacks Iran; they are on their own. We are Israel, we have to help Israel. Vote for Romney

What an accurate powerful message! We can learn from our elders. If you have been voting Democrat since "you were knee high to a grasshopper"-stop and think you can change, just as the world around us is changing fast. We gave Barack a chance- Obama has done so much damage to America-give him 4 more years and it may be to late to fix.. Send Obama back to Chicago!!! Save America

you would think since WW2 we wouldnt have any hate for Jews any more but its people like you that allowed the Nazis to gain power in 1930s Germany and if too many Americans think like you the same will happen here.

At least a common sense voice from Bryna Franklin!

Obama has already bankrupted the US by squandering more than $6 TRILLION since he took office! Four more years with Obama, the curse of the US? NO!!
