Need help Georgia people

[RubyDuby in GA]

With the shifting around at the capitol, not sure if what's listed as contact info for House Minority leader DuBose Porter is accurate.
Anybody have an email address or fax number for Mr. Porter?

He needs a trip to the woodshed regarding some seriously stupid comments he made and I'm just the woman to do it.

Mucho thanks!

1. What did he say?

The website http://www.legis.state.ga.us/ was down for awhile over the weekend, maybe they were updating it?

2. Just showing his complete lack of knowledge about the future DNC chair

"Georgia House Minority Leader DuBose Porter (D-Dublin), said, "The only positive thing I know of is: I heard Dean say in an interview that Democrats can't win the White House without the South.

"I don't know that the people of Georgia were very comfortable with him in the primary, but at least he acknowledges what the Democratic Party has got to do, and that is get more in tune with the Southeast and with Georgia."

Said Porter: "I'd still rather have somebody I could take fishing in Laurens County."

Why don't you actually take some time and learn a bit about him before damning him just because he's from up North, DuBose??
And btw, the Dean campaign in Georgia was the most organized of any of the potential candidates and Dean himself said it was one of the strongest organizations in the nation for him. And we've done very good things since then: www.georgiafordemocracy.org

With friends like Mr. Porter there, who needs enemies???

3. Don't have it...but why DOESN'T he take him fishing in Larens county?

Dean is from a rural state, is he not? Invite him to fish. I'll go.

4. Exactly

This is just another prime example of Porter talking out of his ass about things he knows nothing about. Dean is a very active outdoorsman and likes to hunt and fish. That's primarily why he's so keen on protecting our environment.

I know why they made this moran our House leader, but I don't have to like it.

5. What a maroon!

Did he ever think he could take him fishing in Laurens County? Dean isn't a NYC kind of guy, he's much more laid back than that.

Porter is a moron. Who keeps electing these people?

6. Jeez, and he started out so well...

Hey, I liked DuBose until I heard this. He's the one who's calling these DINOs out for their votes. But, he does need to be set straight about the good Doctor.

I can't seem to get to the General Assembly website this morning, but I'm sure the email address listed there is correct. I'm going down to the capitol today to meet with Mrs Porter and attend the ACLU Lobby Day. I will get the rest of his details for you then.

I think he's one of the good guys - we just have to educate him on some things ;-)

7. I agree

I liked him and Carol when I first talked to them in December, which is why I was a little taken aback by this.

I'm hoping it's just due to all the stress of having to deal with our state going straight to hell in a tattered handbasket :)

I just want to point out some of the good things that Chairman Dean (ohhh how I know we like the sound of that) has done and is capable of doing to Mr. Porter.

Thanks for getting the info and hopefully setting him straight...wish I could go with you, but can't get away from work :(
