Dear Friends,
We have scheduled 5 phone banks for Jim Martin. The script is VERY simple and requires NO experience in previous phone banks.

Tuesday Nov 18^th, 6:00 PM at the Jim Martin Campaign Office   (Formerly the Obama office) 2705 Airport Rd STE 112 Dalton, GA 30721
Saturday Nov  22^nd, 4:00 PM at the Jim Martin Campaign Office
Monday Nov 24^th, 6:00 PM at the Jim Martin Campaign Office
Tuesday Nov 25^th, 6:00 PM at the Jim Martin Campaign Office
Monday Dec 1^st, 6:00 PM at the Jim Martin Campaign Office (only if calls are still left)

Bring your cell phone and charger as we have no hard lines left from the Obama campaign.
We have Whitfield and Murray GOTV calls to make. The Tier 1 list is over 800 calls so we need as much help as we can get. These calls need to be finished before the 22^th so we can start on Tier 2. Tier 3 calls will be made on the 24^th and 25^th.  If any calls are still left we will add another phone bank on Dec 1^st at 6:00 PM.
If you need to know where early voting is located in your county we are compiling that information on our website.

I want to thank all our volunteers in Whitfield County. 

While we may have not won the state or our county, we did win the election! But we have other news to celebrate!!! 

We made a difference that the Atlanta Journal Constitution could visibly see! If you go to our website there is a map posted from their article. There is one county in North Georgia that trended towards blue… take a guess what county that was… WHITFIELD!!!

I am so proud of the work we all did, if we continue to work like we did and build our volunteer base we can turn our county, our district, and our state BLUE!  Obama taught us the strategy, we have to implement it. We need to help other counties get going like we did here. I keep hearing people say “Why doesn’t the National campaigns come here to North Georgia?”, all I have to say is “If WE build it, they will come!”. 

Also if any of you have pictures from the Campaign office, especially the Nov 4^th Celebration, please send them to me, so I can post them on the website in the gallery for everyone to see. 

Thanks, 

John Anthony

Georgia’s six members of the Democratic National Committee have launched a new website to keep Georgia Democrats informed about what their representatives to the national party are doing.  The project was spearheaded by Page Gleason, a newly-elected DNC member who began her four-year term last week.

Georgia’s DNC members are: Jane Kidd, Michael Thurmond, Page Gleason, Richard Ray, Sally Rosser, and David Worley.  To visit the Georgia DNC website, please visit www.georgiadnc.com.
 

Featured candidate: Jim Martin
A Vietnam veteran, former legislator, and former head of Georgia’s Department of Human Resources, Jim Martin has spent a lifetime fighting for the middle class.  Now, he’s taking the fight to Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss, and Jim’s message is catching on across Georgia.  In fact, a poll released last month shows Jim within striking distance of victory, and reveals that Georgia is ready for a change in the U.S. Senate.  

Jim needs your help to keep the momentum going.  We know how Saxby Chambliss plays politics, and with your help, we’ll show him that the same old, slash and burn smear politics aren’t going to work in Georgia this year.  We know that Georgia is ready for a change, and ready for a Senator who is going to work for the middle class.  Georgia is ready for Jim Martin.

Visit Jim’s website today to lend our next Senator a hand.  You can learn about Jim, contribute, or sign up to volunteer.
