A group called Action First asked me to help publicize their efforts to save Saxby Chambliss' seat in Georgia. Since they seem to be doing good work and since that seat is in more danger than most people realize, I agreed.
Here is an excerpt from their email to me,
...We need 200 volunteers to head to Georgia on to an area near Atlanta to help with Saxby Chambliss' Senate run-off race. We will be doing GOTV efforts. The funding is coming from the RNC. All transportation will be covered as well as hotel expenses... plus I believe each person will receive a per Diem amount for spending. There is plenty of work to be done. I am going to enclose the Facebook description about the event:
