Office
Republican
Elected: 2002 (First Term)
Leadership Positions: Republican Deputy Whip
Percent in Last Election: 50% vs. Walter Mondale
Vitals: Coleman lives in St. Paul, MN with his wife, Laurie, and their two children
Offensive Line
- Recently voted against the Senate Immigration Bill
-
Introduced the Broadcaster Freedom Act to thwart Democrat attempts to regulate conservative radio
- Opposed the labor union bill eliminating secret elections
Defensive Line
With Minnesota leaning blue, it’s a miracle that such a strong
conservative is viable in this swing state. Senator Coleman has led the
charge for greater accountability in Washington and has been a strong
supporter of our troops in harms way.
Postgame Report
Democrat
- Host on liberal radio station Air America
- Continually calls the Right “nutcases”
- 82% of his fundraising has come from outside Minnesota – mostly from the Hollywood elite.
The Extra Point
Senator Coleman faces a tough reelection and needs your help. Despite his excellent work in serving the citizens of Minnesota in the U.S. Senate; being a Republican in Minnesota is becoming more and more rare. This, coupled with typical voter apathy, makes Senator Coleman one of our most vulnerable Senators. He needs to amass a large war chest and volunteers to help him get his message out to the voters and defend attacks from liberal 527 groups.

Musgrave Stump Speech
Thanks to Sean for creating a Musgrave Stump Speech, http://www.bigredtent.org/node/97.
"Rep. Marilyn Musgrave has supported conservatives for the last four-plus years. Now we should take the opportunity to support her."
Thanks, Sean.
I urge our members to research Musgrave and comment at Sean's stump speech.
Staying Off the Goddard Bandwagon
Mac Collins was a great conservative during his time in Conress, and he's looking at another attempt at a comeback. He came close last year in a very bad environment, and if 2008 is any better I think he'll probably pull it out. He's my man if he gives it another go. If not, I'll be happy to back Goddard.

Collins doesn't have what it takes
Although Mac Collins did come close last year in a VERY bad environment, he is the past. He's lost for Senate and now lost for Congress. Although he was fairly conservative during his time in Congress, his accomplishments were few and far between. It's time for some fresh blood in GA-8.
General Election Fund?
I posted an entry in the Launch Community group that you might want to take a look at. It deals with getting involved in primaries like this.
I don't think it's presumptuous to say that both of us would support the winner of the GOP primary, be it Goddard or Collins, in the general election, and that we both recognize that winning Georgia 8 is critical to taking back the Majority. So rather than raise funds for the two to use against each other, how about creating a nominee fund? ActBlue does this and it ensures that the dollars go toward beating the opposition rather than each other.

Not a bad idea at all
Lets see if we can make it happen
Art can describe several
Art can describe several things: a study of creative skill, a process of ecommerce hosting using the creative skill, a product of the creative skill, or the audience’s experience with the creative skill. The creative arts (art as discipline) are a collection of disciplines (arts) that produce artworks (art as objects) that are compelled by a personal drive (art as activity) and echo or reflect a message, mood budget hosting, or symbolism for the viewer to interpret (art as experience). Artworks can be defined by purposeful, creative interpretations of limitless concepts or ideas in order to communicate something to another person. Artworks can be explicitly made for this purpose or adult hosting interpreted based on images or objects. Art is something that stimulates an individual's thoughts, emotions, beliefs, or ideas through the senses.

Although the application of scientific theories to derive a new scientific theory involves skill and results in the "creation" of something new, this represents science only and website templates is not categorized as art.
