Kerry rally Sat. in Fayetteville

Fayette for Kerry will be hosting a pre-election rally Saturday, Oct. 23,

from 4-6 p.m. at McCurry Park in Fayetteville in support of the Democratic

presidential nominee, Sen. John F. Kerry. Fayette for Kerry, a grassroots

campaign organization with over 80 volunteers, has been actively campaigning

for Senator Kerry since the primary.

"I've been absolutely thrilled with the outpouring of support

that Senator Kerry has been receiving in Fayette County," commented

Fayette for Kerry Director Karen Kilgo. "The volunteers have been working

tirelessly, and I firmly believe that their efforts will pay off on Nov.

2.

"I remember a time when people didn't believe that there were

80 Democrats in Fayette County," Kilgo continued, "and now we have

that number actively campaigning." She also commented that they have

been deluged with requests for yard signs, bumper stickers, and buttons and

can barely keep up with the demand for these items.

Fayette for Kerry has invited all Democratic candidates and elected officials

representing Fayette County to the rally, including U.S. Rep. Denise Majette

(U.S. Senate candidate), Rep. David Scott, Lieutenant Governor Mark Taylor,

Secretary of State Cathy Cox, Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond, Agricultural

Commission Tommy Irvin, Attorney General Thurbert Baker, State Sen. Valencia

Seay, State Rep. Virgil Fludd, State Rep. Darryl Jordan, Roberta Abdul-Salaam

(House District #74 candidate), and Silvia Delamar (Congressional candidate

for 8th District).

In addition, Georgia Women for Kerry Representative Amy Morton, Democratic

Party of Georgia Chairman Bobby Kahn, Young Democrats club members, and State

Sen. Mary Squires have also been invited. A representative from the Kerry-Edwards

campaign will be in attendance at the event.

Fayette for Kerry invites everyone in the south metro area who is interested

in Democratic politics and who supports the Kerry-Edwards campaign to attend. Attendees

are encouraged to bring their own snacks or picnics, drinks, and lawn chairs

or blankets. Fayette for Kerry meets weekly on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. at Right

on Thyme restaurant in Fayetteville. For more information on the rally or
