Invitation to Telephone Town Hall with Congressman Woodall

You’re invited…

I hope that you will consider joining me for a Telephone Town Hall on Tuesday, August 28, 2012, at 7:00PM.  If you would like to participate, please dial (toll free) (877) 229-8493 and enter the passcode 17849.  You will be placed directly into the call where you can listen in and, if you'd like, ask questions.  Please consider calling in on Tuesday evening to be a part of the discussion. 

Over the past month, Americans watched as men and women from across the United States—including five from right here in the Seventh District—competed with nations from around the world in the 2012 Summer Olympics. 

The athletes who competed in the Summer Games personified the dedication, the work ethic, and the unbreakable will it takes to succeed.  As a result, the United States dominated this year’s Olympics—winning more medals than any other country in the world.  Americans watched with awe and pride as their fellow countrymen and women tested their limits in the name of personal achievement, national pride, and victory.  Perhaps, like me, you see that these ingredients of success are not exclusive to our athletes.  What we saw in these games, was the American spirit—inherent in each one of us. 

America is the greatest nation in the world, and as soon as our policy makers realize that Americans thrive in spite of Washington—not because of it—we will succeed like never before.  Washington does not create jobs; people do.  Our best days are still ahead, and I look forward to continue working on your behalf to eliminate the regulatory burdens that are clipping the wings of hundreds of thousands of job creators. 

I thank you for your continued commitment to freedom and trust in me.  Again, I hope you will consider joining me at Tuesday’s Telephone Town Hall, and I look forward to visiting with you then.

Sincerely,

Rob Woodall

House Narrowly Rejects Charter School Constitutional Amendment; Expected to Vote Again

From The Center for an Educated Georgia
at GA Family Council:

On Wednesday, the Georgia House failed to pass House Resolution 1162, the charter school constitutional amendment. 110 representatives voted in favor of the resolution while 62 representatives opposed it. Constitutional amendments require 120 votes (2/3 of the chamber) to pass. The 110 supporters consisted of 101 Republicans, 8 Democrats, and 1 Independent. 52 Democrats and 10 Republicans voted against the resolution.

Today the House passed a motion to reconsider the resolution, 114-49. The chamber can now bring the resolution up for a new vote at any time.

Passing the resolution requires 10 more votes. It is essential that you call your representative and ask them to support HR 1162.

If your representative voted "Yes," thank them for their support. If they voted "No," encourage your representative to support the amendment and protect the future of public charter schools in Georgia.

GAGOP Playbook – Morning Report

Today’s Big Thing: For the first time since 1923, a Republican will represent New York’s 9^th Congressional District in the United States Congress. This seat, as you may remember, once belonged to then-Representative Anthony Weiner, and was an 11 point victory for Barack Obama in 2008.

In electing Republican Bob Turner, the people of New York sent an unmistakable rebuke to President Obama. This election was a referendum on the President and his failed policies, and is yet another sign pointing towards a sound defeat of the Democrats in 2012.

From the Associated Press & NPR: “It sounded improbable on the surface that a New York City congressional district where Democrats have a 3-1 registration edge and have held office for nearly a century could even come close to electing a Republican to the U.S. House. But voter frustration over the sour economy and President Barack Obama's policies made the improbable a reality… and portends a perilous national environment for Obama as he prepares to seek re-election next year.”

The Republican candidate in another special election, this one for Nevada’s 2^nd Congressional District, also won last night by a substantial margin.

The GAGOP congratulates Representative-elects Bob Turner (NY-9) & Mark Amodei (NV-2)!

In other news, Georgia’s Representative Hank “Guam” Johnson has announced that he will sponsor the “Full Faith & Credit Act,” a piece of legislation that will seek to eliminate the federal debt ceiling. This is not only reckless, but could also imperil our nation’s credit by giving the President & Congress a limitless taxpayer-funded spending spree. While the debt ceiling may be inconvenient for the Democrats as they attempt to run our nations deficit to unforeseen heights, it is a safeguard that we simply cannot do without. For more information on this bill, click here.

Meanwhile, when it rains, it pours for Barack Obama as his disapproval rating reaches a new high of 55% and his economic disapproval rating rises even higher to 62%.

Quote of the Day: Representative-elect Bob Turner: "We've been asked by the people of this district to send a message to Washington. I hope they hear it loud and clear. We've been told this is a referendum. Mr. President, we are on the wrong track. We have had it with an irresponsible fiscal policy which endangers the entire economy."
