The big day is today, and the Marlow campaign is in full gear with stops around Northeast Georgia. Despite the odds, James has made this a serious race with a real chance for another Democratic gain in the House of Representatives.
By talking about the issues that impact the lives of Georgians, especially the war in Iraq, James has set himself apart from the so-called frontrunner. For those who haven't been paying attention, our main opponent Jim Whitehead (a rubber stamper) has been dodging the voters, or as the AJC put it: acting "like a vampire avoiding sunlight, repeatedly ducking opportunities to put his views before the public"
With 10 candidates in a mid-Summer election, the chances are better than average that this is going to end up in a runoff (July 17) with Whitehead, hopefully, against Marlow. If you live in the district please vote today. If you think you might know someone who does (Athens, Augusta, Evans, Toccoa and Watkinsville are some of the cities), please get them to vote as well, and direct them towards: http://www.connectingwithgeorgia.com our campaign blog.
If there's a runoff, we'll need all the money and support we can get for the day after. So please contribute to our ActBlue page (and tip). Here's our chance to let Republicans know that they can't avoid talking about the war without facing the consequences.
