Time to put your money where your mouth is and Unseat a repub!
It is time for action.

Even though my district is 55% Democratic, we are represented by a republican. She wins by spending lots of money on personal attacks against her democratic challengers. No one wants to run against her because they are afraid to be publicly smeared. She won the last election by about 400 votes.

I'm not afraid. I'm challenging her this election and with your help I'll unseat her!

The local republican smear machine has already started up (see http://doraville.org/?p=49 I'm 'Rob' Roche)

I'm getting local support, but it may not be enough.

Why should this matter to you? Because in a couple of years the Georgia State legislature will redraw US Congressional districts al la Texas (remember Delay?). The republicans recently redrew a district splitting Athens, Ga (a Democratic town) into two republican districts. We need to make up the difference.

Please visit www.bobroche2006.com register and contribute - even $25 will make a difference if enough DU members step up.

These are exciting times. The pendulum is starting to swing our way. Let's give it a push!

It will have a better chance of being seen by Georgians.
