Democrats pound Miller for backing Bush (Protest)
ATLANTA (AP)


.. "We have to send a message to Sen. Miller that there are those of us who feel betrayed," said Tim McDonald, a politically active black Atlanta minister who has campaigned for Miller in the past.

"You said one thing and then you did another thing, and perhaps they are right when they call you, 'Zig-Zag Zell,'" he said.

In midday heat, the hour-long demonstration had elements of street theater, from the two Buddhist monks banging a drum to the Marietta entertainer who showed up with orange hair and the saxophonist who belted out Civil Rights anthems. ..

The protest was organized by the Atlanta chapter of Women's Action for New Directions and the Georgia Peace and Justice Coalition, and marked the second anniversary of their near-weekly protests outside his offices. Few previous protests have drawn as much attention.

"We're mad at Zell," said Sheri Mann, an Emory University professor carrying a sign that read: "One Zell, Two Zell; Old Zell, New Zell; Good Zell, Bad Zell; We are mad, Zell."

1. Heck yeah
Wait until next Wednesday.

There is going to be a huge rally/event next Wednesday night, when Zell is speaking, in Atlanta to show that we are not being represented in the manner that we should be.

It's called Zell Doesn't Speak for Us. Check it out.

The only thing I hate more than a Republican is a turncoat.

4. Oh yes
I've written my comments on that site and to his office many times.
And I've always been respectful (you catch more flies....), but I have yet to receive a response. Two years now I've been writing. You can see how much he cares about his constituents.
