Message from Chairman Sue P. Everhart – August 1, 2012
|

Dear Friends,
On Tuesday, nearly one-million Republican voters from every corner of our state took to the polls to vote in Georgia’s Republican primary elections. The highly-impressive turnout across the state showed that not only are Georgia Republicans tuned in to the issues of the day, but we are fired up to keep Georgia Red and ready to take our country back!
I would like to send my most sincere gratitude to each of the Republican candidates that appeared on ballots all over Georgia on Tuesday. Your willingness to serve our Party and our great state should not go unnoticed; because of your commitment and sacrifice, our state is undoubtedly a better place. Thank you all for answering the call – I am proud to have you on our team!
I also am proud to congratulate all of the candidates who were victorious in their primary campaigns. After many long months of hard work and tireless campaigning, you not only persevered – you succeeded. As it is said, “The tougher the battle, the sweeter the victory,” and I believe that many of you would attest to that very notion today. You should all be proud of what you have accomplished!

Letter from Senator Saxby Chambliss
|
|
Dear Friends,
This week, I voted against the Democrats’ plan that would raise taxes on nearly a million business owners and threaten tens of thousands of family farms and ranches with a death tax of 55 percent at the end of the year. Tax policy plays a critical role for small businesses to create jobs and prosper. While millions of Americans are struggling to find work and our GDP growth at 1.5 percent, we shouldn’t be considering massive tax increases that will make America less competitive. Although the bill passed, it is a revenue bill that did not originate in the House, and so has no chance of becoming law.
On Tuesday, Chairman Diane Feinstein (D-CA) and I announced that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence approved by a vote of 14-1 the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013. This bill has a number of important provisions that give the intelligence community the tools and resources necessary to help keep our country safe. In particular, the leaks title, which was negotiated with the House, is a strong step toward stemming the torrent of leaks. I continue to urge the administration to reject the status quo and work with Congress to pass these and any other important changes into law.

Elected Official of the Week: Congressman Rob Woodall
|
|
Rob Woodall serves in the U.S. House of Representatives on behalf of the Seventh Congressional District of Georgia. This is Rob’s first term in office and he serves on the House Committee on Rules and the House Budget Committee.
Born and raised in Georgia, Rob Woodall’s story is one of tireless public service. Rob graduated from Marist School in 1988, attended Furman University for his undergraduate degree and received his law degree from the University of Georgia. While working on energy and health care policy at a Washington, D.C. law firm during the summer of 1994, Rob became frustrated with the infamous Clinton Tax Bill and Hillary Health Care Plan and their potential impact on his family, friends, and neighbors in Georgia. Consumed with a need to do more to defeat these policies, Rob was compelled to begin his public service in Washington as a member of Congressman John Linder’s staff.
While working for Congressman Linder, Rob played an integral role in drafting, introducing and advocating for H.R. 25, The FairTax; a bill that would overhaul the entire United States tax code, starting with abolishing all income taxes and replacing them with one, revenue-neutral consumption tax on all goods and services. What started as a small bipartisan bill has become the most highly co-sponsored and revolutionary tax reform bill in Congress thanks in large part to a nation-wide grassroots. On January 3, 2011 – the first day of the 112th Congress, and his very first day in office – Rob re-introduced H.R. 25 with a record number of original co-sponsors.
Rob’s biggest sense of accomplishment is helping Seventh District families one at a time through casework and creating a Congressional office that functions for the people. Rob’s political philosophy is guided by the principles of freedom, and he is committed to working on behalf of the Seventh District to restore a positive and fiscally responsible path for America.

Whose Side Are You On?
|
|
The Republican National Committee releases a graphic “Whose Side Are You On?” which draws a sharp contrast between President Obama’s government-centered approach to the economy and Governor Romney’s emphasis on free enterprise.
“While President Obama believes that government is the driver of our economy, Governor Romney understands that it is the hard working American entrepreneur and our free enterprise system that is responsible for America’s success,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.
“President Obama thinks that small businesses succeed because of the government but that couldn’t be farther from reality. Governor Romney understands the American entrepreneur because he has started his own successful business, met a pay roll, and helped countless other entrepreneurs grow their own business and thrive.”

The Georgia Republican Party is fully committed to electing a Republican President in 2012. However, Victory won’t be achieved simply because we won the last elections. Victory can only be achieved by working hard each and every day to win the next elections. President Obama and the Democrats are targeting Georgia and could spend as much as $30 million to win our state. There’s too much at stake to leave this election to chance. Please consider contributing $15, $25, $50 or any amount to help Georgia do its part to send Barack Obama back to Chicago!
