We are now under 50 days until Election Day. Saxby Shameless is surging once again in the polls; McCain is surging in Georgia as well. At the same time, our gas prices have continued to climb, over $5/gallon last week! Our hard-working middle-class families are struggling. Yet, somehow, Saxby Shameless is now leading Jim Martin 54% to 36% according to the latest public polling information in Georgia (Strategic Vision 9/7-9/9).
It's time to act. But we need your help.
In fact, even Obama's top advisors have called on donors and activists to "call up the cavalry" and allow outside groups to get involved in this campaign [SOURCE: The Atlantic, Sept. 9, 2008]. At the national level, we have seen MoveOn and Democracy for America launch ads and start raising funds, and Take Back Georgia, Inc. is proud to be the only progressive 527 actively engaged in Georgia. And, earlier this week, top national donors met on a conference call to discuss funding 527 organizations to stop the Republican surge.
Take Back Georgia is proud to be the first organization in Georgia to:
Launch Statewide Radio Ads against Saxby Shameless;
Launch the accountability site exposing Saxby's Shameless record;
Help coordinate a public protest to draw attention to the pressing issue of Clean Energy and energy independence;
Take on top Republican officials like Secretary of State Karen Handel when they attempted to throw more Democrats off the November ballot;
And now, we need your help again to put Jim Martin within the margin of error and drop Saxby Shameless to below 50% approval!
How to Help: Stop Saxby Shameless and Create Change
We know that to create change this Election cycle, we all need to get involved. Take Back Georgia needs your help to send Saxby home for good!
Contribute right now to help put our radio ads back on the air! With the recent climb in gas prices, now is a great time to re-launch our ads calling for enery independence and exposing Saxby's ties to big oil. Our goal is to raise at least $2,500 to air these ads statewide! These contributions will be used directly for radio buys. If 50 people contribute $50, we'll hit our goal! Let's help Jim Martin and concerned Georgians take back control of the messages in this campaign! The more we raise, the more ads we air! www.SaxbyShameless.com
Let us know your stories of how the crumbling economy is hurting your family thanks to Saxby's Shameless votes, or your healthcare crisis stories, or why Saxby is Shameless to you! We want to hear from you and we want to show everyone that change is needed because the troubles are not isolated, they are affecting Georgians statewide: our neighbors, our friends and our co-workers.
Design an ad to be run in local newspapers and possibly the AJC about Saxby's Shameless votes and actions. We want your involvement in taking on Saxby and we are developing a local newspaper ad buy in key counties across the state. Remember, keep it clean and professional, and try to have it connect to the issues we are fighting Shameless on. We will consider all proposals and announce our newspaper ad with one month to go to Election Day! Email your design to info[at]saxbyshameless.com.
