In Chamblee @ Peachtree Blvd & Pierce Dr Saturday. Back today at noon! Handful of angry Trumpers showed up and rallied at the outhouse(!) OTOH, a nice lady came by to give us VOTE panties. She's in Deccatur today! 30K pairs involved 1/3
We win: Trumpers fled after an hour or so. This is a 73% blue area, after all. (Pro tip: use big sign to block view of theirs) I think they were mad that I was taking a picture of their retreat, but it is what it is. 2/3
Team Blue had 15 volunteers drawing attention to CORE4 early voting site from 9 am til rain. Also giving away yard signs: gave out nearly 200 so far. Come get one!
Also, photographer came by, shooting for @ACLU to document #earlyvoting. Now we're historic! 3/3 #gapol
1/3 Former Columbus mayor @teresatomlinson is running to unseat GOP Sen. David Perdue. She has an edge in experience over her Democratic primary opponents and doesn't dodge issues. She's posted 14 policy papers at bit.ly/2ULZOYZ Here's her healthcare message in a thread:
GA House Speaker Ralston: Move May 19 primary to June
GA GOP Congressional delegation: What he said
Georgia Democrats: Keep May 19, buy stamps!
Brad Raffensperger: Don't look at me, I can't change date @GovKemp: Me neither
General Assembly: ...
People complain Black History Month focuses on just a few historical figures & events, but here's an antidote. 20 years in the making, this monumental work is still in print. I publish excerpts occasionally (not just in Feb) but it's best to read the book brambleman.com/the-way-it-was…
Geoaria @GovKemp wants to rig 2020 elections by protecting @SenatorLoeffler (R-NYSE) with HB757, which would block primary losers (presumably Democrats) from her race by moving qualifying from late summer to March. @GaSecofState is his chore boy. Looks bad; they don't care 1/4
@GovKemp@SenatorLoeffler@GaSecofState A move is afoot that would shift the Senate seat qualifying period to March, with a May primary. Which makes more intuitive sense. But would force the politically struggling freshman senator to take off from a short runway. How could she even spend $20M in short time frame? 2/4
Shaw just voted w/ other GOP PSC members to hike Georgians' electric rates $1.7 billion. This wasn't even a Vogtle case, so more to come! Shaw approved above-avg. profit for Georgia Power "to protect its credit rating" in era of Vogtle cost overruns. bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2…
South Georgia legislator Jason Shaw was appointed to PSC by Gov. Nathan Deal on his way out. Up for election in 2020, Shaw's done nothing to earn Georgians' votes He needs to be replaced by consumer-friendly Dem who lives in District 1-roughly Columbus-Savannah & points south
