As of this writing, the girls have been successfully reunited with their father. Some pundits have predictably adopted a cynical attitude towards Smith's mission. However, we at Save Jersey respect any public official willing to risk their lives for constituents. It would have been easy for Smith to send a strongly worded letter to the State Department, visit the family for a photo opportunity and call it a day. Smith instead decided to risk his life in a hot war zone. In a day and age when politicians do so much to forsake public trust, it's refreshing to see someone in the business for all the right reasons.This week, Smith, a New Jersey Republican who has been involved in human rights efforts around the world for decades, flew to Georgia to seek help getting them out. Fournier was willing to help. Traveling with members of an aid group, he reached them around 8 a.m. local time Thursday. The passage back to the capital included about 10 checkpoints and took six hours, Fournier said. At the checkpoint where they were stalled, the ambassador started working his phone. "We were calling military, diplomats, everybody," he said. Finally, he said, a Russian general called and gave them permission to pass.
Shulman Supporters,
Scott Garrett has recently received a lifetime rating of 8% on environmental issues from the Environment New Jersey group, and a right-wing blog actually congratulated him on it!
Let Scott know what you think! Click here to view the blog and you can vote on its (un)impressiveness, as well as submit a comment.
Regards,
Evan

Under normal circumstances, I would thank Mr. Evan Johnson for helping drive traffic to Save Jersey and leave it at that. However, the criticism of the Shulman folks really perplexes my simple conservative brain. Since when is calling for energy independence a "right-wing" position? Last I checked, a strong majority of New Jerseyans favor drilling and expanding our use of traditional energy resources. It's certainly not that New Jersey or Rep. Garrett opposes a healthy environment. No one seriously wants to choke on smog or swim in sewage. I would gladly, if it were possible, run my automobile on Skittles and sunshine.Shulman for Congress
