If this has been discussed, I apologize. I live in Georgia and am volunteering for the Obama campaign. Many of you may be aware how close the Jim Martin and Saxby Chambliss race has become. I just received an email inviting me to a campaign event Saturday night with Bill Clinton!!! A reception with pictures requires $1000. A reception following that only requires $100. If you can, please donate to Jim Martin. I think he has a real chance to beat Saxby Chambliss.
I have been predicting for months that Georgia was going to be BLUE on the morning of November 5th. A lot of my friends and family said it couldn't be done. But they haven't been out there volunteering in this campaign. They haven't talked to voters in Georgia. I live in a small county two hours outside of Atlanta and we have an Obama office staffed 6 days a week. We have canvassed door to door, phone banked, and held numerous house parties. My republican neighbors looked pissed all the time. They are so desperate, they opened a McCain office last week. WTF? 2 weeks before the election you want to put a sign in your yard that they are GIVING away-yeah, that's support. No, not this time! We are going to win because some of us have had an Obama sticker for 6 months. Some of us have been hosting house parties for Obama since May. And some of us are have been supporting our candidate since 2004 before he chose to run. When the dust settles on November 5th and all the republicans are wondering what the hell happened and where did all that blue come from, tell them to give me a call.
Again, please donate to Jim Martin, if you can. Kos, please put him on your nightly orange to blue. We can do this together.
