Success in the Patriots First Candidate Forum

For those of you who were not able to attend, here are the opening statements from the four candidates to help you get to know them before the election next Tuesday, Nov 3rd. Remember, please get out and vote... early voting is open in all districts. This is your most important duty as a citizen.

Candidate Forum Oct 29th

Be an informed voter! Come to the special election candidate forum for the GA House District 129 Seat. This forum will be hosted by the LaGrange Patriots on Thursday, Oct 29th at 7pm at Hoofers in LaGrange, GA. Bring your questions and concerns and take advantage of your last opportunity to hear the candidates speak before the election. All four candidates will be present for the forum... Earl Davis, Steve Earles, Jerry Luquire, and Kip Smith.

This election is a special election that will be held on Nov 3rd for the former seat held by Vance Smith. District 129 covers portions of LaGrange as well as Harris County, Pine Mountain, and northern Muscogee County. Please remember that even if you are not a resident of this district, it is important to attend this forum to represent your values. Every elected official casts votes that affect all of us, so it is imperative to influence every election.

Contacting Blue Dog Democrats

One of the most effective ways to make a difference in current legislation is to contact the Blue Dog Democrats. These are the "moderate" Democrats that can possibly be swayed on issues like government health care and cap and trade.

Last night at our meeting, we provided an email address that can be used to contact every Blue Dog Democrat in the US House. However, we provided the incorrect email address. The correct address to contact the Blue Dogs is bluedog@mail.house.gov.

Next Patriots Open Meeting

All concerned citizens are invited to our next LaGrange Patriots meeting. We will have an exciting guest speaker Dr. Tom Gore who is a respected cardiologist and two term member of the LaGrange City Council. He has helped lead the fight against nationized health care.

We also will have a tribute to the LaGrange and Washington DC tea parties and other informational items you won't want to miss.

There will be hamburger plates (with chips, dessert, and drink) available at 6pm for $5 each. The meeting will start at 6:30pm.

Also, we still have t-shirts and yard signs available and on Thursday we will have high quality DVDs of the entire LaGrange Tea Party available for sale as well.
