Roll Call: General Clark Ready to Do Battle for Shulman (NJ)
May 13, 2008 | Roll Call
Already a darling of the Democratic establishment on Capitol Hill, psychologist Dennis Shulman picked up the endorsement of former presidential candidate and retired Gen. Wesley Clark in his bid to claim the Democratic nomination and challenge Rep. Scott Garrett (R) in November.
In a statement released over the weekend, Clark said Shulman’s unique background makes him an inspirational candidate, especially during an election year in which change has become the key theme.
"Growing up blind and overcoming family financial struggles to become an accomplished psychologist, educator, and rabbi, Dennis embodies what we all hope to be as Americans and his voice will be a powerful force for change in Congress,” Clark said.
We'll be watching this race closely- Thank you for introducing me to this man & his life work. It's easy to see how this is someone who will make an incredible difference - I'm amazed his life has also drawn him towards politics, seems like he has done everything under the sun & then some! I can see why he is a WesPac candidate! :)
First I heard of Shulman and his story is amazing.
I know a man
Jeffrey GainesIt's been years, he's been here
and time just lingers and no one knows
He's got eyes, he's got ears
He's got all his fingers, and all his toesHis is a life of observation
Maybe one day he'll get to translate this information
For twenty years, he hasn't spoken a word
He's been silent since the accident occurredWhile so many people takin' tongues for granted
Taking the truth, finding ways to slant it
I know a man who'd know what to doAnd so many people go day in and day out
just dreaming of things they can bitch about
I know a man who'd know what to doIt's a dream, for him it's real
but it never goes away and never will
He's in touch with what he feels
Oh but he just can't say, "Maybe it's better still"His is a life of endless frustration
He's got his pride, he's not exempt from humiliation
Can't lift a finger to stop what's wrong
He can't lift a leg to dance to a Beatles songWhile so many people taking spines for granted
Slither and squirm, taking what they're handed
I know a man who'd know what to doAnd so many people go day by day
Sitting on their hands, constantly complaining
I know a man who'd know what to doAnd so many content to exist like sheep
Never scratching the surface of themselves too deep
I know a man who'd know what to doAnd so many people like you and me
Never realizing what our lives could be
I know a man who'd know what to do
has the date Feb 26 2008 on it; did he make a new statement of support?
