Saxby Shameless Update
- RUNOFF DECEMBER 2 -

EARLY VOTE as soon as NOVEMBER 17

Dear Friends,

We did something BIG on November 4th - we forced a runoff!

This major accomplishment is thanks to the hard-work of Jim Martin and his campaign, as well as all of you and your support, contributions and direct voter outreach! But, we can't let up now - we have Saxby Shameless right where we want him.

Who would have thought just a few months and even a few weeks ago, that a movement in Georgia could be where we are now? Who would have thought a "safe" Republican incumbent in the South with millions and millions of dollars of special interest money could be forced into a runoff?

The working families and middle-class of Georgia sure did. And with your help, we made sure enough voters knew how Shameless Saxby really is.

Response overwhelming for Jim Martin

Since our last email, the response has been overwhelming for Jim Martin from all sides of the aisle.

Here are just a few of the responses and stories that came in and just more reason to spread the word, even to Republicans you know!

Whether it was elected officials, candidates, former statewide elected Democrats, volunteers and activists, Independents and undecided voters, and even a few Republicans, we value every response that we've received and it motivates all of us to keep working for change!

"You were the first to stake out a position, and your tenacity has spawned an uprising against Saxby Shameless. I am very proud of you and all the hard work you put into this effort. I am a former Republican 5th District Congressional candidate and I know what an uphill battle you have fought. Whether we are Republicans or Democrats, or Independents, all Georgians know how Saxby Chambliss has voted for the big corporate interests and has been a lap-dog for George Bush economics, plunging the economy right off the cliff into an abyss. Congratulations again on your major accomplishment of skewering Saxby with his own words and deeds, and taking the message statewide."
- Paul Stabler, former Republican candidate for Congress (GA)

"I find that Saxby is two-faced. He keeps talking about small business and how they need help; well you know, the American family is actually a small business. We have revenue and expenses and we aren't getting the tax breaks that Saxby wants to give to a certain group of small businesses. It took leadership from Martin to stand up. Can't wait to vote for Jim and have encouraged the six voters in my household to do the same. Good luck."

- Adie S., Mother, activist and engaged Georgian

"As I was out canvassing a few days ago, a man was asking me about Jim vs Saxby. He admitted to me that he had voted for Saxby, and then in a conversation about Saxby, realized that Saxby was the one who dissed Max so badly. When he realized that, he told me he had made a mistake and should have voted for Jim. I hope that message will get out to the voters before tomorrow! If there is a runoff, I know this guy will vote for Jim!"

- RuthE Levy, Democratic candidate for state house

We'll be gearing up for the runoff just like the campaign! We will be pushing more public interest and exposing Saxby's shameless ways. As we produce our runoff radio ads and message, here's how you can help right NOW:

1. Make a Contribution to our ActBlue page and help us get our radio ads back on the air now that the campaign continues. We'll be pushing hard in the next few weeks to make sure turnout is there for Jim Martin. Remember, 100% of contributions to Take Back Georgia, Inc. goes directly to defeat Saxby Chambliss, we have no overhead, no salaries and every dollar is spent on our campaign.

2. Visit Jim's site and send him your support, your email and your time! Thousands of doors will need to be knocked, even more phone calls will need to be made, and our base needs to be turned out in high numbers to make sure the middle-class has a Senator again!

For a better Georgia and in less than a month a new US Senator,

Michael Cantone & Beth Hand
Your Take Back Georgia Team

P.S. This runoff will come very quickly, we do not have time to spare - get involved today, vote early and forward this email to your friends, neighbors and coworkers!
