Sincerely,  Dan Matthews Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2012 06:49:08 -0600 From: bryan@bettergeorgia.com To: danmatt@hotmail.com Subject: Chip Rogers shows his enemies list: Georgia Chamber, ARC, ULI Better Georgia  | View in Web Browser | Forward to a Friend Majority Leader Chip Rogers recently hosted a meeting for Georgia's GOP senators. He held the meeting under the Gold Dome to talk about Pres. Obama's "war on the suburbs." Among the alleged co-conspirators in this war: the Georgia Chamber , the Atlanta Regional Commission and the Urban Land Institute . This list of the Majority Leaders' enemies will surprise anyone who believes Georgia's Republican leadership stands arm-in-arm with the business community. It doesn't. But what's even more surprising and, frankly, very hard to believe is why these civic groups are on Majority Leader Rogers' enemies list. The quick answer

This is not the kind of leadership Georgia needs in the 21st century. Sincerely,  Dan Matthews Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 06:38:11 -0600 From: bryan@bettergeorgia.com To: Subject: Another day. Another Chip Rogers embarrassment. Better Georgia | View in Web Browser | Forward to a Friend It's official. Majority Leader Chip Rogers has made Georgia the laughing-stock of the nation. His recent taxpayer-funded meeting to talk about the evil mind-control techniques of the Georgia Chamber, the Atlanta Regional Commission and Pres. Obama has become the talk of 11Alive , Salon , Mother Jones , Daily Kos and even earned a headline on the Drudge Report. But Majority Leader Rogers is not alone with his brand of crazy. Here's a list of state senators who attended the Oct. 11 meeting hosted by Majority Leader Rogers and led by Field Searcy , a man who was kicked out of the Tea Party for being too extreme: Sen

The City Council also graciously allowed Mr. Johnson to get added on the agenda at the last moment, and accepted the reconciliation report. City Council member Mike Link showed up late to the meeting at this point. City resident Antonio Rooks asked about how his considerable number of dogs and their tethering could result in his fines. He quoted the costs that Code Enforcement Officer Robert Hegge read to him

Broun addresses veterans at Morgan County church

Thank you for your service, Mr. Broun. That much being said, please do us a favor for those in the 10th District who cringe when we hear you open your mouth. Vary your topics. Talk about Veterans to Veterans, hunting to hunters, and religion to the religious. Mixing the groups gets you more and more international negative headlines, surely spawned by Satan and his minion journalists. I know this because the Bible is 100% true and everything in it is above and beyond approach to the mere amoral mortals here on Planet Earth.  Broun addresses veterans at Morgan County church

Top 40 favorite Oconee County Georgia Republicans of 2012

My Top 40 favorite local Republicans - only prerequisite would be a general willingness to accept Democratic leaning people for exactly who they are in whatever narrow, ill-defined context I choose to obfuscate. Also the less these individuals subscribe to any wing nut views, the much better for my as of yet undetermined purpose. Once upon a time there was a descriptive term called a Moderate that seems to have gone the way of the Dodo bird and has become extinct. I would not want to besmirch this august group of individual political people with that broad a brush stroke, but if the shoe fits....for some this is a snub, for others an honor. I welcome your ribald commentary, your additions, deletions, and shrieks. 1. Brian Brodrick 2. Ashley Hood 3. Kyle Martin 4. Chuck Toney 5. Chuck Horton 6. Melvin Davis 7. Jim Luke 8.
