Ever see a Georgia Senator hide behind office equipment?

This is no longer funny  - time to call your Senator and take names - Chip Rogers must be removed from his Georgia Public Broadcasting crony job. We cannot put up with Good Ol' Boy politics under the Gold Dome or anywhere else in Georgia any more. Sincerely,  Dan Matthews Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2013 08:10:24 -0600 From: bryan@bettergeorgia.com To Subject: Ever see a Georgia Senator hide behind office equipment? Better Georgia Hide & Seek The fallout from Chip Rogers' $150,000 per year, taxpayer-funded job keeps getting bigger. Last week, State Sen. Bill Heath grew tired of hearing from taxpayers asking for GPB to fire Chip Rogers so he sent a nasty email to thousands of Georgians. He told them they had been 'conned.' He was 'annoyed' by emails that, he said, were a 'waste of my time.' He lied about how Better Georgia uses and protects your valuable email address. He also called us ...

From: "Bryan Long, Better Georgia" bryan@bettergeorgia.com Date: January 28, 2013 8:15:46 AM EST To: Subject: Watch Nathan Deal run from an important question. Reply-To: "Bryan Long, Better Georgia" bryan@bettergeorgia.com Tough question. Last week CBS reporter Christopher King   asked Nathan Deal an important question for Georgia taxpayers. "Gov. Deal, did you give Chip Rogers a $150,000 per year job to get him out of the way at the capitol?" It should have been an easy question. It should have been a question Gov. Deal was eager and ready to answer. It wasn't. Instead, Gov. Deal   laughed uncomfortably   and   walked away   as an assistant stepped in to say, "We've got to go." Gov. Deal managed to get out a 'no.' It's time for Gov. Deal to explain to taxpayers why Chip Rogers   told a radio station in December   that the new job at GPB is a political appointment. Why did Chi...

This arrogance is only going to expedite the death of the dominance of the Republican party in Georgia Sincerely,  Dan Matthews Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 18:24:36 -0600 From: bryan@bettergeorgia.com To: danmatt@hotmail.com Subject: Uh, sorry about Sen. Bill Heath. Better Georgia Better Georgia - Progressive Politics & News It's working. Tonight, Sen. Bill Heath sent an email telling you how he feels about voters reaching out to him with important concerns: ' Don't bother! ' He considers your important action of signing a petition to be "childish." We don't. And we know you don't either. Sen. Heath is a member of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee that oversees the state budget. It is his job responsibility to listen to the citizens of Georgia . Accepting an appointment to this committee makes him responsible to every single tax paying Georgian. P...
