Calling all Atlanta area Kossacks! Do you have plans for the evening of Tuesday, September 30th? Do you enjoy the occasional adult beverage? Would you like to spend a few hours in the company of the brightest and most progressive Democrats in the South? Would you really like to see Saxby Chambliss in the unemployment line next January? Then I have just the event for you!
Join us at Amsterdam Bar & Cafe on Tuesday, September 30th for "Martinis for Martin," a fundraiser benefiting the campaign of Atlanta's own Jim Martin, candidate for US Senate and Saxby slayer extraordinaire. Twenty-five dollars will get you in the door, where you'll find $6 "Martin Martinis," hors d'oeuvres, and as many Georgia Democrats as you can handle in one sitting. Jim Martin will be joining us for the evening, so bring your questions and suggestions along with your checkbook.
For the particulars, I'll quote our resident Martin expert VolvoDrivingLiberal:

Amsterdam Bar and Cafe is located in the Amsterdam Walk Shopping Area adjacent to Piedmont Park in the Morningside/Midtown/Virginia Highland area near downtown Atlanta. Take Monroe Drive to Amsterdam Avenue, turn west onto Amsterdam Avenue until it dead ends at the rear of the shopping complex. Turn right and park. Amsterdam Bar and Cafe is located at the far north end of the rear side of the building. It can be identified by a large patio which juts out from the main building. This is one of the very few venues in the Midtown area which has more-than-ample free parking.
Recent polling data indicates that this race is winnable, with Martin trailing Chambliss by only 6-7 points. The key to a win, however, is having the funds that will enable Jim Martin to get his message to the public. You can help Jim Martin fund his progressive message to all Georgians by participating in this event. Please put this on your calendars today!
Jim Martin has been hitting Chambliss hard on his loyalty to the Bush administration. His latest ad, entitled "Saxby Economics," was just released this morning.
Help us fill the Martin campaign coffers and get this ad on the air in Georgia today. If you're not in the Atlanta area, or if you're unable to attend, you can make a donation at the Martin for Senate website.
