My endorsements

Here is who I'm voting for and why:

John Kerry. I was wrong in the primaries when I supported John Edwards. From what I have learned about John Kerry and seen in the debates, I think he would make not just a better President than George Bush, but perhaps the best President of my lifetime. I trust him to clean up the mess that Bush has gotten us into and truly turn a divided country around. I'll happily vote FOR Kerry as well as AGAINST Bush.

Denise Majette. Ditto Majette. The DSCC has gotten behind a lot of candidates and told donors not to give to Majette. But Majette, unlike Brad Carson and many other national party targets is actually running a campaign that Georgia and National Democrats can be proud of. She's not running as Republican-lite. She's a Democrat. If you can name one significant thing Johnny Isakson has done for Georgia in his years of service, that will be the first thing I've heard. You don't earn a seat in Congress by hanging around longer than anyone else, and that's basically the message being sent if you vote for Isakson. Hopefully this will be the last year that a Georgia Senate candidate will be able to run as a rubber stamp for George W. Bush and not much else.

Rick Garnitz and Mike Jacobs. Both are well qualified and exactly the type of new blood the state legislature could use.

Gwen Keyes. For some reason, many white DeKalb residents have fallen for Jeff Brickman and other's smear campaign that compares Gwen Keyes to Vernon Jones and other black politicians that North DeKalb doesn't like. It's not true. In fact, Jeff Brickman has violated the oath of his office and used drug seizure money earmarked for law enforcement activities to influence a poll of DeKalb lawyers, which then gave him a favorable response. The AJC would not report on this story because Brickman is their golden boy. The fact of the matter is that Brickman is a Republican trying to con DeKalb voters into thinking he is a Democrat. He's dishonest and he and his friends J Tom Morgan, Bob Wilson and, yes, Sonny Perdue need to learn that public office in DeKalb county needs to be won legitimately and not stolen by deception.

In the race for Congress I recommend leaving your ballot blank in DeKalb county.
