From the Gwinnett Daily Post:
It's
all semantics in the District 106
race
8/7/05
"There's
only one politician in the House
District 106 race.
At least, that's how two of the
candidates are spinning it.
During a forum hosted by the Greater
Gwinnett Republican Women last week,
both Melvin Everson and Garry Rhodes
cast off the title.
"I'm not a politician. I'm your
neighbor," Rhodes said at least
three times during the one-hour
event."

Eminent domain hot
topic at House District 106 forum
by Camie
Young 8/5/05
"New
London, Conn., came up more during a
forum for House District 106
candidates than Snellville, Ga.
With the special election to replace
Phyllis Miller in the General
Assembly coming just a few months
after the Supreme Court
made a controversial ruling about
the New England town’s right
to condemn property to increase the
tax digest, eminent domain was one
of the top thoughts of the three men
who will be on the ballot Aug. 30. "

Congressman John Linder's Town Hall Meeting in
Suwanee
4-16-05.
Enthusiastic constituents had many questions for the Congressman Saturday morning at N. Gwinnett H.S.
The Fair Tax (national sales tax) bill was
discussed, and the Congressman was very optimistic
about the number
of people who have hopped on board
recently. He announced that the book on the Fair
Tax, authored by him and Neal Boortz, has gone to
the publisher and should be available in a month or
so. Several GGRW members attended:

4New Congressional
District Map Clears Hurdle
A new congressional
district map was approved by the Senate
Reapportionment Committee last week, moving the plan closer to a
vote
on the floor. The plan would keep counties whole and put communities
of
interest back together. In 2001, Democrats gerrymandered our state
for
purely partisan purposes.

The GGRW was honored to have Mike Seigle
and George Warren as speakers at the
regular meeting
on August 9. Mike Seigle is
running for the GA House
from the new District 99
(Norcross area). George
Warren is running for the
Georgia House in the new
District 96 which also
covers parts of the Norcross
area.
President Peg
Murray discussed the
Adopt A Platoon campaign. It has only been one
month since we wrote
our letters, and it will
probably take six weeks or more
to hear back from
the letters.
Peg also announced that our webmaster, Bettye
Chambers, who is an alternate delegate will be
serving as the Georgia Daily Delegate Diary Keeper
during the National GOP Convention at the end of
August in New York. She will also be sending back
daily news to Peg who will be sending it on to our
members as well as to Buzz Brockway and the
Gwinnett GOP.

Adopt
a Platoon GGRW Project
At
our last
meeting I told you about applying for
the “Adopt A Platoon”
program. I received a
call this evening that the GGRW has been
accepted!!!!
Within four weeks, we will receive the names of 20
soldiers who need a pen pal. I’m sure each
of you
would like to write to at least one soldier or
maybe
two. Upon receipt of these names, I will
contact you
to see if you wish to participate. After
developing a
relationship with our troops, we may even wish to
send packages to them. More on
this later. -- Peg Murray
