Democratic Party Attacks Marriage Equality Candidate; Progressive and GLBT Outrage in Atlanta

Progressive, Pro-Choice, Pro-Marriage Equality Candidate for Mayor of Atlanta, Mary Norwood

Not surprisingly, there has been virtually little attention paid to the Atlanta Mayoral race on this site, most likely because of focus, and rightfully so, on healthcare and other more prominent issues. That said, the Atlanta mayoral runoff election has evolved into a case of where typical labels and perceptions are not necessarily reality, and a case of Georgia Democrats eating their own.

As this heated NON-PARTISAN mayoral runoff race comes near its December 1st conclusion, a firestorm is raging in Atlanta over the issue of marriage equality and the meddlesome insertion of the Democratic Party of Georgia (DPG) into a non-partisan mayoral race. Many progressive Democrats and the GLBT community are outraged at the DPG for funding a mailer falsely accusing independent progressive and pro marriage equality Mayoral candidate Mary Norwood of being a Republican.

Just when you think the filth and venom spewed forth by radical right wing extremists can't possibly get any worse, the photo above was distributed to a group associated with Tea Baggers by Dr.David McKalip, a health care reform opponent and St. Petersburg, FL neurosurgeon. McKalip is also a Delegate to the American Medical Association.

Dr. McKalip commented in the email to which the racist photo was attached that it was "funny stuff". The entire story can be found on Talking Points Memo at this link here.

No, it's not more about Mark Sanford or Sen. John Ensign, the past week's Republican poster boys for bad behavior. It's almost become a weekly, or even daily, occurence for some hyprocritical Republican politician or political operative to fall victim to the sins against which they rail!

As reported today by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the former Republican mayor of Gainesville, GA, Mark Musselwhite, was arrested for romping nude through a public campsite.

Apologies for a short diary. Lots of activity, both phonebanking and canvassing, is happening this afternoon at Jim Martin's State HQ

However, we need some special help from those who live in the Atlanta area. If you are reading this and know Atlanta residents who can come down to HQ now and help phonebank, please pass this info along.

Although reports of turnout vary throughout the state, we are receiving information that turnout is especially weak in Southwest Georgia, specifically in the Columbus, Thomaston, and LaGrange areas. We have generated some priority call lists for these areas and need more people to phonebank at headquarters. Unfortunately we cannot use the Barack Obama lists in such a way that we can specifically target SW Georgia.

If you live in the Atlanta area, please come to Martin HQ ASAP to phonebank. We are located at 1080 Spring St. NE in Midtown. Come one, come all and call, call, call! More on the flip...

This message is for all Kossacks living in the state of Georgia, as well as those who have friends or relatives in Georgia, especially in the Atlanta area. Apologies for repeating the basic info of a diary posted yesterday, but the importance of this message merits additional exposure.

There are hundreds of volunteers from all over the country coming to Georgia to help Jim Martin defeat Saxby Chambliss these last few days of the campaign. They are coming at their own expense and volunteering their time. If any of you who can provide a place to stay for a couple of days for out-of-state volunteers who are coming to help, please advise the campaign emailing your name, address and phone number to housing@martinvictory.com. If you have friends or family in Georgia who can help, please pass this info along to them.

GA-SEN: URGENT! Atlanta and Georgia Volunteers Needed for Election Day Visibility and Phonebanking

On December 2nd the Martin for Senate campaign needs volunteers for visibility just as we did for the general election. In many ways, visibility on the day of the runoff is more important than it was for the general election because it reminds people to go vote. As you may be aware, historically in Georgia so few people actually return to the polls to vote in a runoff.

Unlike the general election, our visibility will be run from the field offices listed below. Please call the field office coordinator for visibility at the closest office and help remind people in your area on election day that Jim needs their vote.

For a list of contacts to call to volunteer for visibility activity, go to the flip:

Thank you, Barack! This radio spot is exactly the kind of message we need to motivate Georgia Democrats to get to the polls and support Jim Martin. I hope the campaign will take this same message and put it on a robocall to every Democratic or Democratic-leaning household in the state of Georgia.

In the interest of full disclosure, and as many of my fellow Kossacks are aware, I am a retired US auto industry executive. In response to a request from my former employer (and provider of my pension check), I recently wrote to my Georgia representatives (Senators Saxby Chambliss, Johnny Isakson, and my venerable Congressman John Lewis asking for their support of government loans to the US auto industry.

Saxby Chambliss responded as follows on the flip:
