Clinton event at Clark Atlanta University; Brazile to act as Martin advisor
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We now know the place and the approximate time of the Wednesday visit by President Bill Clinton on behalf of Jim Martin, the Democratic candidate in the U.S. Senate runoff.
The place is Vivian W. Henderson Gymnasium at Clark Atlanta University. That, and news that Democratic strategist Donna Brazile of Louisiana is headed this way to advise the Martin campaign, bespeaks a strategic emphasis on turning out African-American voters on Dec. 2, rather than trying to poach disaffected Republicans.
Doors for the Clinton event open at 4 p.m. No word yet on when the actual program starts. Last week, the Saxby Chambliss rally opened at the same time. But former Republican presidential nominee John McCain didn’t show until 5:30 p.m.
UPDATE: The state Democratic party has just put out a warning that, while the event is free, it “strongly recommends” that tickets should be obtained before hand. Locations for ticket distribution are on the jump.

Bill Clinton:
Why won’t you list the contributors to your presidential library? What are you trying to hide? “I never had sex with that woman.” Of course not, she had it with you, right? How stupid and forgetful do you think the people of Georgia really are? Just another bunch of “southern country bumpkins” like in Arkansas? Save the embarrassment and go “home” to New York.

“How stupid and forgetful do you think the people of Georgia really are?” Sissy Saxby hopes they are plenty of both …

WE HAVE MORE TO DO:
Democrat Jim Martin is in a runoff against Bush Republican Saxby Chambliss for the Senate seat from Georgia. Bush’s Saxby Chambliss voted against spending a few measly dollars to provide health care coverage for Georgia, and Americas needy children. But he supported wasting hundreds of billions of your dollars, and the life BLOOD of Americas finest on an unnecessary war in Iraq.
At a time when 47 million of you have no health insurance coverage, and over 100 million of you with insurance are just one major illness away from complete financial destruction. Bush and Saxby Chambliss voted to make the heart break of bankruptcy relief even harder for all of you to use.
You see, Bush and Saxby Chambliss, and his family don’t have to worry about their health care coverage. They have the finest health care coverage your tax money can buy for them. Courtesy of you. The American Tax payer. In fact, no one but the super rich can afford the health care coverage you the tax payer provide for Saxby Chambliss, and his family for FREE! with your tax dollars.
He supposedly works for you. But he doesn’t think you and your family should have access to the type of taxpayer supported FREE health care that you provide for him, and his loved ones for FREE!. Doesn’t that just make you BURRING MAD!
Vote for JIM MARTIN for US senator from Georgia. Vote for JIM Martin who will be on your side. Vote for JIM MARTIN who will work with President Obama and a majority congress for you. Vote for JIM MARTIN most of all for your-self, your family’s, friends, and loved ones. Vote for JIM MARTIN for a better America, and a better World.
Don’t let Saxby Chambliss make a chump out of you by tricking you into voting against your own best interest. Saxby chambliss is NOT! on your side. He’s not one of you. He is on George Bush’s side. And we all know what a catastrophe the Bush Chambliss administration has been the past 8 years.
Contact all your family and friends and do every thing you can to see to it that JIM MARTIN and GEORGIANS! take that senate seat back for Georgia, and America. No matter where you live in America. This is important to you. President Obama will need all the help, and power you can give him to try and fix this catastrophic mess that the Corrupt Bush Chambliss administration has created.
As I said before you will have to vote in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush Chambliss “Let Them Eat Cake” vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help everyone you can get to the polls and vote for JIM MARTIN. You and your loved ones don’t have to be Saxby Chambliss’s victims anymore.
I know you will get it done. Just like you did for President Obama.
God bless all of you

Jim Martin is for working people, the middle class and restoring dignity and prosperity to America and the State of Georgia. Saxby Scambliss is a creep, the last thing Georgia needs is Saxby / Bush economics, this corrupt, liar needs to be shown the door, not another failed term. President Obama and Jim Martin will work together to help Georgia out of the rut criminals like Saxby and Bush put us all in, get out the VOTE FOR MARTIN. We love ya Bill !!

Take a drive around the city and even the suburbs and you will find a total of thousands in this state who are homeless and starving all because, of Bush and Saxby’s scam to help themselves and their buddies.
We are all one illness away from financial ruin at this point and hospitals are purposely making their patients worse to keep them coming in for treatments, medicines and office visits so that they can continue to buy their multi million dollar homes and cars that cost two to three times our annual salaries. Enough is enough, we need to have a voice for the first time in a many years and Democrat Jim Martin is the only way we will achieve that voice. Jim Martin will work closely and fairly with President Elect Obama to achieve the fairness that we as Georgians need and the fairness that the entire Country needs in order to reclaim ourselves. Financially this country is a wreck scene, we have wasted trillions making the rich richer, while the rest of us starve, loose our homes, and our dignity.
If you havn’t already done it when are you finally going to realize that for many years you have all been scammed into believing that the Country and State would be better run by Republicans who are only in this to make a profit off of you……..Look at what you need in your life right now and stand up, go vote and make a difference.

Jim came out to my house and put a sign in my yard, during his campaign.
Saxby has meetings by invitation only with places like the chamber of commerce. Saxby supports the Bush agenda with almost 96% voting for Bush initiatives. Vote for Jim Martin. He is a proven worker for ALL the people of GA, not just those who won the golden ring on the merry go round.
