Wow, we had quite the primary elections, didn’t we? With so many divisive races and we still have the Aug 8 runoff coming up! My hope would be that all of us would regroup and join forces to defeat the Democrats in the upcoming General Elections. On primary election night, I heard many volunteers for the losing candidates say they would not vote for the primary winner in November.  This is due to the hard fought and sometimes bitter tone of the campaigns.  I understand the high emotions of hurt and anger when our candidate doesn’t come out on top, but I would hope we would all remember we all have the same goal in mind……. ….to help as many Republican candidates to win as possible in the November election. 

With so much going on in the world, we need strong leadership in all areas of our government from our School Boards to our Senators. Right now Governor Perdue is ahead in the polls with a strong record to back him. But, as we have heard, Mark Taylor is a strong political foe and we need to stay ahead of the game. I want to reiterate to you, as I have in a previous letter, to please volunteer, contact Perdue4Cobb@comcast.net. I realize we all lead busy lives, but if we don’t continue to press for our conservative candidates, we will be helping a far weaker party gain power, and who knows where that will lead us in the fight against terrorism. I believe, as others have stated, we are in the midst of World War III, so, let’s remain strong, focused, and resolute by keeping our Republicans in office.  We can help with this endeavor by volunteering or donating to our candidates; because unfortunately, it’s a very time consuming and expensive venture running for any political office. 

I have included in this newsletter several opportunities for you to help and ways to feel a part of the process. Remember to vote on August 8. Men and women are fighting for your right everyday; the least we can do is to honor those who sacrifice for that right by making our own commitment where we can here at home!
