In Georgia we are DOOMED! If you want to see the future, read this!

Since the Georgia Democratic party is refusing to get behind any candidate for Secretary of State (they're concentrating all funds and support on the Governor's race - Cathy Cox) Bill Stephens (the republican candidate for SoS) is a given. Georgia will have our own version of Katherine Harris and Kenneth Blackwell because the DEM party will hand him the office.

The current DEM SoS candidates can't even get party help with fundraising.

In the case of Bill Stephens, one should take great care to understand that this should be a "personal" issue with the Democrats.

You see, Bill Stephens was a Democrat elected in 2002 who switched parties 3 days after being elected with Democratic party funds to give the new governor a majority in the state Senate. For that move, Stephens was given the most powerful spot in the state Senate - Majority Leader. You'd think, after Zell Miller, the DEM party would at least TRY to punish some of these DEMS.............

Now, he's being further rewarded with a more powerful spot in state politics - control of the voting machines.

I posted that shortly before I went to Washington, DC
for the September 24th march.

I know about DU but find it too wrapped up in internal
fighting to be of any use on this issue. Thanks for
the invite, though.

Feel free to link and refer. More helpfully, feel
free to join us in our fight at the state house for
legislation to stop these insidious machines! And
bring as many Georgians as you can.
