GIULIANI VISITS COBB

Saturday, January 5th 2008 - First of all Happy New Year! With the arrival of 2008 comes a presidential election year which is already in full swing. The Iowa caucuses have produced front runners in both parties who are out side the mainstream political elite, and the approach of the Georgia primaries on Super Tuesday looms ever closer.

In relation to the Georgia Primary, I had to post this photo of Rudi Giuliani with yours truly, even though it was more than a month old. While I am not officially endorsing any candidate(like that would do them a lot of good), I can say I find strong positives with all the top tier candidates. I will continue to cover the major candidates as they visit Cobb.

On Saturday, January 5th, State Senator Chip Rogers was the guest speaker at the Cobb County Republican Party Breakfast at Williamson Brother's Barbecue. Senator Rogers spoke about various tax reform measures coming before the General Assembly this year, school choice in the state of Georgia, illegal immigration, and the role of the Republican Party in protecting the private property rights of the individual.

After Senator Rogers spoke, Virginia Galloway of Americans for Prosperity announced the 2nd Annual AFP Day at the capitol on Thursday, February 7th, 2008 at 7:30 AM.
