Mike made a strong point for taking redistricting out of the hands of politicians who would draw lines to maintain power as opposed to serving the people." After having complete control of the district lines for the last 100+ years, it's no surprise most of the Democrats now think it's a really good idea to take control of the lines out of politicians' hands. I have a marginal familiarity of Jacobs' district, but believe with a couple of nudges of the ol' district lines and Mike would have a General Election uphill battle. Ultimately the people have control of the district lines. One of the reasons attributed to Roy Barnes' downfall was his complete bastardization of the Legislative districts. Taking gerrymandering to a whole new level he created the multi-member district. In Atlanta we had no idea who was representing us, with State House districts that had more people then Senate Districts. There were a lot of folks in South Georgia that were really ticked off that Barnes was so willing to slice and dice their communities for raw political power and in 2002 the people spoke. “Mike also spoke about redistricting and how the state House districts created two years ago have helped created some very balanced districts in DeKalb County.

I refuse to take a label and be called "religious right." I am proud to support Representative Cecil Staton and any other representative that will stand up for the Lord!

As a friend and supporter of Mike Jacobs, I echo your comments about his commitment to public service. I think it's fantastic that he's seeking to restructure DeKalb's government, and put us back on track to making a county government that actually works.
