Last years event, with hundreds in attendance, was a testament to the resolve of North Georgia Democrats, as we stood up to be counted and spotlighted the candidates that ran for office from around the state.
In 2007, Georgia Democrats will make a statement by voting in a Democratic Presidential Preference Straw Poll. Each person in attendance, after hearing videos or speeches by the candidates or surrogates, will cast a vote for the presidential candidate of their choice. These results will be shared with local and national media following the event. It will be an early test of strength for the presidential candidates and campaigns in Georgia.
We will honor the brave service men and women, both past and present, in our military
We will hear from North Georgia Congressional candidates in the 10th and 9th Districts.
Emcee: Jane Kidd, Chair of he Democratic Party of Georgia
