Great news. Senate candidate and Saxby slayer Jim Martin is planning to join fellow Democrats at the Obama acceptance speech watch party to be held at Amsterdam Bar and Cafe in Midtown Atlanta. Below the fold is a message from Jim:
Greetings from Denver! I am in the Mile High City for just 24 hours to show my support for our Georgia delegation and to meet with Democrats from around the country to talk about our campaign against Saxby Chambliss. And let me tell you, there is a lot of interest in our race.
Last night, I had the opportunity to watch Senator Clinton's great speech. I think she made a very clear and compelling case for why we can't afford to continue the failed economic policies brought to us by George Bush and Saxby Chambliss.
We have to get back to Georgia today, but I am very much looking forward to Senator Obama's acceptance speech on Thursday night, and I want to watch it with you. If you are in or around Atlanta tomorrow night, Thursday, August 28th, please join me and other good Democrats at an "Acceptance Speech Watch Party." We'll be watching the events as they unfold in Denver at Amsterdam Bar & Cafe, 502 Amsterdam Avenue, NE, Atlanta, GA 30306 (get directions here), starting at 8 p.m.
I can sense the pieces coming together on something very special this year. Together, we are going to accomplish things that no one thought possible just several months ago. Thanks, as always, for your support.
Best wishes,
Jim Martin
P.S. If you haven't seen his ads already, Saxby Chambliss has started his television campaign this week. We need your generous support today in order to go up on the air as soon as possible and spread our message. It's time someone stood up for the middle class again, and we need your help to make that case.
Help defeat Saxby Chambliss by showing Jim Martin some love
