From The Chairman’s Desk

Dear Friends,

On Tuesday afternoon, the Presidency of Barack Obama reached a new milestone as Americans watched our National Debt soar above $16 Trillion for the first time in our country’s history. Since taking office less than four years ago, President Obama has set quite a precedent, including adding more public debt than the first 43 presidents – combined!

A number as large as $16,000,000,000,000.00 is often difficult to relate to, as the size and scope of our debt has reached unseen heights. Thus, I would like to put it into relatable terms, so that we may all understand the effects of Barack Obama’s reckless and unabated spending.

Labor Day Message from Congressman Jack Kingston

Fellow Republicans,

Labor Day is a wonderful holiday. It provides us a chance to celebrate all that summer had to offer while looking forward to fall. If we are lucky, it gives us a chance to spend time with our family and friends, cook out, and celebrate the start of football season (Go Dawgs!).

The real meaning of Labor Day, however, is taking a moment to celebrate the American worker. Throughout our history, the American workforce has led the world in innovation and productivity. We have dreamed up some of the greatest inventions and created the supply chain to spread them all over the world.

America gives everyone – regardless of your past – the opportunity to earn a livelihood, provide for your family, and, if you’re lucky, the chance to give a hand up to the next generation so they may seek an even better life.

In the Headlines: Local Republicans rally behind Romney, Ryan at GOP watch party

The Republican National Convention started out subdued but built up to a roar, released in Thursday’s grand finale as Mitt Romney officially launched his fall campaign for the White House.

“The excitement is palpable, even more so than the first few days,” said state Sen. Barry Loudermilk, R-Cassville, one of Georgia’s superdelegates. “It’s incredible. We’re coming out of here on a high.”.

Romney declared “what America needs is jobs, lots of jobs,” and he said he has a plan to create 12 million of them. “Now is the time to restore the promise of America,” he said.

Help Lead the Charge Today!

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!
