He told me privately, that he is big on promoting trade with China via Georgia. I disagree with Sam on trade and immigration as most of you know, but I am concerned about the threats on both sides. Chip Rogers now has police driving by his house due threats via him speaking up. I have only gotten hateful comments not threats. I am sure non of us condones threats and ,or violence on the debate about trade and immigration issue. atlantaman,

His ties to the illegal immigrant community make me very suspicious. "Economic Development" to him probably means hold on to your wallets for working Georgian families.

We're losing a leader in the Senate. But, I'm glad he is focusing on economic development in Georgia. We need it, and Glenn Richardson certainly isn't doing the job.

I've always liked the euphemism "undocumented workers" is that like calling a prisoner an "involuntary resident". Thanks for the link to the website, I just bookmarked it.

He will be missed. To you guys who are cheering, what do you think, he'll be replaced by a conservative? Whatever. Maybe he's quitting because of hate websites like this one: http://www.americanpatrol.com/GEORGIA/ZAMARRIPA/MenuZamarripaWatch.html Shameful.
