Hi, I'm the Communications Director for Dennis Shulman's campaign in NJ-5. Dennis is an Orange-to-Blue candidate who's been getting netroots support since he started the campaign. Blue America was one of the first groups to support him, and one of his first-ever interviews was with FireDogLake.
We've been blown away by the support we've gotten from this community, the Daily Kos community in particular -- you've helped us tremendously to build our financial resources and our buzz.
Now I'm asking you for something else -- we're asking you to go the distance, if you can, and turn your online activism into offline action. Come volunteer in our district on Election Day and the days leading up to it.
You've seen the polls, you've read our comments and diaries about why we can win and what we're doing in all parts of the district, and you've seen what we're up against. You know the race, and you know we can win if we all work together. You know Scott Garrett doesn't represent our community, and he doesn't represent North Jersey.
When I read through your comments, I notice how many of you write that you're from the district or live near the district or know people in the district. If that applies to you, please come help. If you live in NJ-5, we're counting on you. If you live in NJ-9, or NJ-8, or NJ-10, or NJ-13, or another safe district, please come help. And if you live in New York City -- you're just a short ride across the GW Bridge -- please come help!!! Unless you're concerned that Vito Fossella's making a comeback anytime soon...
For the first time in a long time, North Jersey has a real battleground race that we can pour our energy into. We don't need to trek into Pennsylvania to make a difference -- we can make a difference in our own backyard, and we can retire Scott Garrett, the most conservative member of Congress from anywhere, let alone the Northeast.
If you can help, please email us at volunteer@shulmanforcongress.com or sign up to work on Election Day at www.shulmanforcongress.com/gotv.
