The Cobb YR Club was my introduction to GOP politics when I moved to GA in 1991 at the tender age of 28. It is a great way to network with other young professionals and to get involved in the community.

Others in attendance included Tom Boeck, Richard and Lil Day, Barry Paulk, Linda Thompson and current Cobb GOP Chairman Scott Johnson.

A big "Thank You" to AshleyHungerford for the MDJ article, even if my name didn't make it in the paper :)

ARE YOU READY FOR SUPER TUESDAY?

3 February 2008 - It was a busy day yesterday for political junkies and the coming weeks will be no different. Grover Norquist spoke at the Cobb Republican breakfast on behalf of the Americans for Tax Reform. He likened tax revenues to the "oxygen of big government spending" and called Republicans who raise taxes, "The rat heads in the coke can", i.e. they give the brand name a bad name. He also advocated for government spending transparency similar to what the states of Missouri and Texas currently have.

At 10 AM the Georgia Christian Alliance held their Faith, Family, and Freedom Event at Riverwood High School in Atlanta.

At 5:30 PM at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center Senator John McCain made a campaign appearance where he received the endorsements of Georgia's 2 U.S. Senators, Saxby Chamblis and Johnny Isakson.
