Today’s Big Thing: This morning at 10:00am, the Georgia General Assembly will officially reconvene to begin this year’s special legislative session to address redistricting. Already on Friday, the first drafts of the Georgia House & Senate maps were released. In case you missed it, the maps can be viewed here.
The Georgia General Assembly will be providing live video from both chambers, and can be watched by all at http://www.legis.ga.gov/Streaming/en-US/Both.aspx.
On Saturday, the first GAGOP Local Party & Precinct Training was held in Gwinnett County. We had a great turnout; there is a lot to be excited about in the Republican Party in Georgia. Special thanks go out to GAGOP 7th District Chairman Jason Thompson, Gwinnett GOP Chairman Bruce LeVell and our friend Chet Hale for their hard work and leadership.

Finally, President Obama will begin a three-day Midwest Bus Tour today in Minnesota, which will also visit Illinois and Iowa. The RNC has dubbed this taxpayer-funded trip as “Obama’s Debt-End Bus Tour” and released a counter-video this morning.
They Said It: State Representative Debbie Buckner (D - Junction City) on the proposed changes to her state House district: “It’s a district that I feel like I can be successful running in, and I go through that part of Meriwether and Harris County back and forth to Atlanta, so I feel like I can take care of the folks.”
It seems as if Democratic House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams’ threats to her caucus have fallen upon deaf ears.
