For those Democrats who would write Georgia off this election. [View all]

I'm disappointed at some of these comments, this state is a battleground already in 2014. We have Jason Carter and Michelle Nunn running at the top of the ticket, that is what makes us different from Kentucky and Texas, those states only have one strongman at the top of the ticket and both Grimes and Davis are polling not only below their republican counterparts but below their Georgia Counterparts, there is no closer race for Governor and Senate in this country than Georgia.

Jason and Michelle have joined forces something most other races don't do, by sharing assets in a coordinated campaign we can hit the Maximum number of Doors, call the maximum number of people and persuade them to vote for both of our candidates. We share call lists, canvass packets and volunteers, all in a coordinated effort to win this for the democrats, Jason and Michelle are working together building off of each other to give democrats a better chance of winning this state now than in 2012.

If you don't think we can win this state then you haven't met our candidates, you haven't been to one of our field offices, you have not seen the courage that we show in the face of adversity because we know that Georgia deserves better, that Georgia can do better, and all we need to do is vote for Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter.

Help us, find your local Democratic Party or one of the several field offices and volunteer for a canvass or phone bank, visit Jason Carter on his Bus tour of Georgia, I've seen that bus it looks better than the Obama bus. Alternatively you can Donate money to the campaign help them with the last ad push. every person you Canvass is about 25% more likely to go out and vote, vote blue, every time you canvass a person who is a Strong Democrat and wants to volunteer with the campaign, you can take credit for him as he goes out canvassing, or Phone Banking. I Know because i have Canvassed for Jason and Michelle, i have Phone Banked for them, i have met them they are wonderful. I love it when Jason talks to us volunteers and tells us that he appreciates what we are doing, that he cares for us the volunteers who are out there every day, pounding pavement with clipboard in hand or dialing number after disconnected number trying to speak to Democrats about why they should vote.

as much as i need the resume builder that isn't why i volunteered for Jason, I volunteered because i saw what Nathan Deal's budget cuts did to Georgia's Schools. It cost my mother her job as a teacher of Advanced Placement Psychology at Peachtree Ridge High School in Gwinnett, a teacher well loved by the students with consistently good scores on the AP exams, she built up the Social Studies AP electives program. I volunteered because I saw Nathan Deal's moral construct and was disgusted, I saw Jason and know that his code of honor can just about match mine and my code of honor is Strict with a capital S. I see in Jason a bit of the me that holds that altruistic desire to make the world a better place. Well we will make Georgia better but i think the world will benefit when we do, and we become a world Leader in subject areas that doe not include teen pregnancy or unemployment.
