Our Blue America guest today is Rabbi Dennis Shulman from northern New Jersey. He joins us at 2pm (EDT) over at Firedoglake to answer questions for a couple of hours. He's a really remarkable guy. I got him to talk a little about his opponent, New Jersey's most reactionary congressman, Republican Scott Garrett. "Garrett is is a social conservative who has an 87% voting record with George Bush. ...
