Hi Kossacks! The big day is just 5 days from now!!! Who would have thought we'd ever make it this far? We're working our hearts out right until the last minute at the Shulman for Congress campaign offices -- and many of you are right here with us! And if you're not knocking on doors and making phone calls with us, you're here in spirit -- because we couldn't do this without you.
What started out as a long-shot race has quickly become a top-tier target in the national spotlight -- and you deserve a lot of credit for that.
Two great videos after the jump!
As you know, it's been a very exciting few weeks for us. And the excitement continues this week. Earlier in the week, we picked up the endorsements of The New York Times and Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Just today, we campaigned with the Firefighters' Association, stumped with Obama Adviser Mark Alexander, and rallied with Arshad Hasan, the executive director of DFA, which gave us their endorsement.
Tomorrow, Chairman Chris Van Hollen from the DCCC is coming to campaign with us. We'll be joined by our good friends Congressman Steve Rothman, Congressman Frank Pallone, and Congressman Bill Pascrell.
In the mean time, Scott Garrett is running scared, literally. Check this out:
Scott Garrett's scared because he knows we can beat him. And that's why he keeps attacking us with disgusting, dishonest smears. We've run an aggressive campaign -- constantly on the offensive -- but we've never had to resort to personal attacks or lies to highlight why Scott Garrett should be fired. He gives us enough of a case all by himself.
And throughout it all, we've kept in perspective why we're running -- to restore sensible leadership and problem solving to Congress on behalf of the Fifth District. Watch Dennis in his own words in this mini-documentary, which Scott Shields first previewed for us at Blue Jersey:
