« Reminder - Vote for Saxby! »

Fellow Gwinnetians, today is a critical day not just for Gwinnett and Georgia, but for our nation.  As you are most likely fully aware after a month of your mailbox and voicemail being bombarded with mailers and robocalls, today is the U.S. Senate runoff between our Sen. Saxby Chambliss and Democrat Jim Martin.  With the outcome of the Minnesota Senate race still undetermined, Saxby could be the last barrier to the Democrats getting a fillibuster-proof Senate, i.e. a blank check in Congress.  Even if you have issues with some of Saxby's particular votes (e.g., he has taken heat over the Wall Street bailout, a package which I feel was justified in some form), I urge you to look at the bigger picture and at the realities of party politics.  America needs Saxby in office to allow the Republicans some countermeasure against ultra-liberal, big government legislation that Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will surely introduce in Congress.  Coupled with a President-elect who has a very liberal history, the need for the ability to slowdown the Democrats should be evident to the common-sense conservatives who make up the majority of Georgians.

Today, Georgia has an enormous opportunity to help America and those that support our heritage of limited government and liberty.  Gwinnett County plays a big part of that as a key conservative voting area.  Gwinnettians can help deliver the runoff for Saxby by turning out in huge numbers at the polls today.  So, Gwinnett, don't let Georgia and America down - vote for Saxby!
