Is representative Jim Marshall a liberal?

Dear editor,

The eighth district of Georgia is a conservative district.

After some researching of Mr. Marshall’s voting record for the last two years showed the following:

Marshall voted 89 percent of the time in support of Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s bills.

In 2008, Marshall recued 57 percent of the vote share, in the race against general Goddard. John McCain’s vote share for president was 56 percent. Marshall voted for the stimulus bill. I don’t remember him having any town hall meetings to hear what the voter’s feelings were. Marshall had to hear what their opinion was about Obama’s health care bill.

What he heard was no, no and no! Marshall voted against the bill he knew he had to vote no to have a chance at being elected in November 2010. He hoped Pelosi will understand. He supported giving Obama and secretary of the treasury the power to take over financial institutions as well.
Marshall voted to raise the ceiling so Obama could continue his big spending ways. He opposed T.O.R.T. reform and voted to continue the death tax. In my opinion, his voting record makes him too liberal to represent a conservative district.

Can anyone recall any bills that Marshall has introduced that have become law? I voted for him in 2008 but did not know at that time he was a left wing liberal. I will not make that mistake again.

Marshall appears as a liberal/democrat/wishy-washy representative. He is most definitely a "Nancy Yes Man as in Yes We Can..fool most of the people most of the time. Anyone who casts a vote for him in November is saying "Yes, we can screw our children and grandchildren~ and yes we can wipe out the middle class~ and yes we can get away with our lies about the insurance plan and yes we can continue to ruin the freedoms that America was founded on. Please people let's give our country a fighting chance to get back on track to be a Republic, as it was intended. Vote ALL incumbents out. If this government mess is the best they can do, we need desperately to FIRE them all.

A citizen of Eastman for 22 years I have never been as proud of any elected official as I am of Jim Marshall. While Democrats and Republicans just yell accross the isle at each other, Jim is the rare voice of reason who brings both sides together and solves problems. Don't take my word for it? Ask a local official in Dodge or around the district how Jim has helped them; whether it be advice, money, or lobbying in Washington. Jim's is the voice of leadership we want in this country and in this area. Keep it up Jim!
