Out-of-state corporations are paying for the 'Yes' campaign It creates a new Atlanta-based government bureaucracy The new commission will be filled with political appointments Georgia has more than 200 charter schools and an appeals process that works A 'Yes' vote would cost $450 million dollars while most public schools still can't pay for a full school year Those out-of-state donors say Amendment 1 is all about more choice for education. Today I want to offer you educational choice. Here are two ...

He writes letters to the editor at the Augusta newspaper, and very little is known about him beyond that.

Sincerely,  Dan Matthews Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 13:13:41 -0400 To: danmatt@hotmail.com From: info@barackobama.com Subject: Come help us win North Carolina Dan -- We know voters here in North Carolina are going to have a huge role in deciding the presidential election in a few weeks. Romney and his allies know this, too -- and that's why they're already spending millions of dollars attacking President Obama over the airwaves in North Carolina. It's on us to step up to defend the President's record -- and make sure that voters aren't misled by the negativity and distortions that the other side is churning out. That's why North Carolina is the place to be right now. Georgia student groups are organizing road trips to help with early voting and get-out-the-vote events in the final weeks leading up to Election Day. Can you join an upcoming trip? After you say you're in, a local organizer will get in touch...
