TAKE ACTON: Don't Let Senate Democrats Stop Hans von Spakovsky!

The Georgia YRs are inviting Republicans from around the nation to put pressure on the U.S. Senate to confirm Hans von Spakovsky for FEC Commissioner.

Hans is a recess appointment to the Federal Elections Commission by President George W. Bush. Read the George Will article linked below for details then call your Senator to encourage him/her to let Hans’ confirmation go through!

It is especially important if your Senator is a Democrat to put the pressure on!

For those of us here in Georgia, we know our Georgia Senators are backing Hans, but call them and encourage them to keep fighting and not give up.

Saxby Chambliss: (202) 224-3521
Johnny Isakson: (202) 224-3643

The following op-ed by George Will will give you further details.

Please take 5 short minutes to make two calls today!

Say "Thanks" to an American Soldier

The Georgia Federation of Young Republicans would like your help in promoting a national expression of thanks to our military men and women during the Thanksgiving Day holiday.

Beginning at 6 am EST on Saturday, November 17, and ending at midnight PDT on November 22, Americans can text a message of thanks to 8-9-2-7-9. Within seconds, the sender will receive a reply on his or her cell phone from America Supports You (ASY).

The message will come from a member of the armed forces or a family member of someone who is serving, who will express his or her appreciation for the support, both personally and on behalf of others who are serving.Because all the major mobile wireless providers—AT&T Wireless (Cingular), Verizon, Sprint (Nextel, Qwest), and T-Mobile—will provide access to the ASY text message program, there is no upcharge.

For more information, please go here.

Members of the military and their families—we now have troops serving in 177 countries—will learn the number of text messages and be able to view many of them.

America Supports You expects this effort to be a unifying moment for the nation, at a time in which families traditionally come together and express gratitude for things large and small that contribute to their lives.

Take a moment this Thanksgiving to say, "thanks!" to those who will be spending Thanksgiving far from home.
