Chambliss Campaign: Jim Martin Won’t Stand Up for Georgia in

During the WALB debate that aired Monday, October 20, Jim Martin refused to condemn Senator Barack Obama’s promise that he will make Florida’s water resources a priority in the tri-state water war if elected president.[1]

- “As President, I will make protecting Florida's water resources a priority,” Obama continued.[2]

Jim Martin actually tried to deny that this was Obama’s stated position!

- “Saxby people don’t believe you, they know that’s not true. They know that’s not the position Senator Obama has taken, no Presidential candidate would take a position like that.”[3]

REALLY JIM? BECAUSE WHAT, YOU DIDN’T READ THE STATEMENT THAT SENATOR OBAMA PUT OUT FROM HIS CAMPAIGN? AND YOU DIDN’T READ ANY OF THE NEWS COVERAGE? REALLY?

- “…if that is-and its not-if that were by some silly reason Obama’s, President Obama’s position, I’d stand up to him.”

REALLY JIM? YOU’D STAND UP TO BARACK OBAMA TO PROTECT GEORGIA? BECAUSE WHEN HE ISN’T EVEN IN THE ROOM YOU CANNOT FIND THE BACKBONE TO STAND UP TO HIM BUT WE SHOULD BELIEVE THAT IF HE WERE PRESIDENT YOU WOULD STAND UP TO HIM? REALLY?

Jim Martin: Standing Up For
Florida’s Mussels & Sturgeon!
