Make Calls for Jim Martin
Nov 20, 02:59 PM CST
As you probably know, Georgia Democrat Jim Martin forced a run-off election due to his great performance against incumbent Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss.
Here’s the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s endorsement of Martin:
Jim Martin and Sen. Saxby Chambliss may be former fraternity brothers at the University of Georgia, but they look, act, think and speak in very different ways. The two candidates in the Dec. 2 Senate runoff offer Georgia voters a stark choice.
Martin, the Democrat, has been a fighter for the little guy throughout his life, and he’s proved effective in that role. He served his country in the U.S. Army in Vietnam and as a state legislator, lawyer and head of the state Department of Human Resources. Throughout his public life he has been known as a workhorse not a showhorse, someone whose first concern was getting the job done well rather than trying to get the credit.
In fact, Martin was so well-respected for his competence and ability to work across party lines that when Gov. Sonny Perdue became the state’s first Republican governor in a century, he asked Martin to remain as head of the state Department of Human Services.
President-elect Barack Obama has set up a tool on his website to allow people from across the country make calls in support of his campaign. Make calls for Jim Martin here:
