Blue America Welcomes Sen. Regina Thomas
Today's Blue America candidate is Georgia state Senator Regina Thomas. She's taking on one of the very worst and most reactionary of all the congressional Blue Dogs, John Barrow, in a district that encompasses much of Savannah and Augusta. Barrow votes more frequently for the Bush agenda and with the GOP than any other Democrats, although he's sometimes tied with Nick Lampson and Jim Marshall. Regina will be blogging live at Firedoglake today at 2pm (Georgia Peach Time). Blue America worked with singer-songwriter Jason Joseph to put together a little music clip for Regina. If you'd like to help us get this spread around, please consider donating to Regina's campaign at our Blue America ActBlue page today.
Regina Barrow is running against John Barrow?

Absolutely. She's against the war that he's supported and she's for progressive policies that help working people instead of the big corporations he supports. She's a remarkable woman and I hope you'll stop by FDL today to meet her.
Regina THOMAS!!!!!!!!!!

Good Catch
Instant Outrage Fatigue is catching up to everyone.
Regina Thomas, you go girl! And, Jason Joseph music is always appreciated ... He's got a new fan here.

I've been so busy writing about the effects of Ambien on John McCain, that I'm feeling them on myself!!! Thanks for correcting me.
Seems like a "no brainer" to me, but then.....? (I'll keep my derogatory comments to myself.)
as you wish
If Thomas defeats Barrow you can kiss that seat goodbye to the republicans. Its a conservative district and will vote for a conservative dem over a republican but would not vote for a liberal democrat.
Firedoglake was also behind John Laesch in the Illinois 14th district. Fortunately Foster defeated him and is now the congressman in Hastert's seat. If they listened to Blue America it would still be a Republican state.
Ummm - pardon me - but are you sure that John Barrow is a DEMOCRAT???
He's as much a democrat as Joe Lieberman... oh wait ....
Brian's right. Barrow barely beat out Republican Max Burns in the last two races. Has the climate changed where Thomas could win? It's hard to say, but Republicans in Savannah vote first and think later, so it would really be a tough race.
Wow

Even a few dollars will go a long way, especially considering the corporate financing that Barrow will have.
