In an urgent Election Message from Take Back Georgia, Inc., who operates www.SaxbyShameless.com, Pat Pullar, longtime Democratic operative, leader and activist, sent a special guest message to our supporters. Here is that message and a call to action to vote early in Georgia, and to get to work to finish the job and elect Jim Martin to the U.S. Senate - we can't afford six more years of Saxby Shameless:
Have you voted in the runoff election yet? OK, aren't you the same people that told me you would stand on a line for as many hours as it takes to vote for President-Elect Barack Obama? You did what you said you would do-you voted! We now have a president who understands America's challenges and will do what is necessary to bring change to this country.
We can't stop now. We just can't. Electing Barack Obama to be the 44th president and not electing U.S. Senate candidate Jim Martin (Barack needs Jim Martin's vote to push through his agenda for change), is like telling our new First Lady, Michelle Obama she can't move into the White House with the President.
Our work is not finished.
We can't endure Saxby Chambliss for another six years. Everyday we hear about more people losing their jobs. Companies are shutting their doors, banks are failing and people are losing their homes. Now, the Republican Party wants to blame the Democratic congress. Saxby will block every piece of legislation to ensure President-Elect Barack Obama doesn't deliver on his promise to America. We can't let that happen. Saxby voted against increasing the minimum wage! Saxby has voted against children having healthcare! He doesn't want healthcare for children, but he says he is pro-life!
Right now the Republicans are pouring money into Georgia driving the ideologues to the polls. The Republicans are desperate to hold on to their last hope of driving this country into the ground. While we continue the suffering by losing our jobs, our homes and our healthcare insurance-Saxby Chambliss says, "I don't think we're in a recession." How could we sit home and let this happen? Folks are clamoring to go to the Inaugural ceremony and won't lift a finger to go vote. We can't allow Saxby Chambliss to win this election because we stayed home. I am begging you to do this one more time this year.
I have been waiting for you at the polls and you haven't shown up yet. This is your last chance to vote prior to the December 2 runoff election day. Advance voting hours have changed because of the Thanksgiving holiday, with some counties offering extended hours Monday through Wednesday. Advance voting will not be available Thursday, Friday, or next Monday.
Check advance voting hours in your county.
Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks. Let us give thanks for our new president. We have two more days to early vote. We must vote for the 60th Democratic United States Senator. Let's show the world Georgia will do their part. Folks, we can do this. Let's fight for Jim Martin and Jim Powell, our PSC candidate.
