Calling All Red-Blooded Republicans

We're excited to announce "Red Georgia," the latest in a series of political surveys launched in Patch towns across the country.  

We are looking for current and former GOP officials, activists and everyday citizens who are politically knowledgeable and involved in their communities— people whose opinion would be considered valuable and would be trusted by their neighbors.

"Red Georgia" surveys will focus on issues that matter to Republicans in Cobb, the metro Atlanta area and Georgia issues leading up to Election 2012.

Taking part is a way for you to have a voice in the political discussion during this important election year. We promise these surveys will be short and that we won’t flood your ‘in’ box with lots of emails.

If you agree to participate, we'll e-mail you a question and your response will be mixed in with other survey respondents to help Georgia get a clearer view of an issue of importance. We'll include your name on our public roster of participants, but your answers will always be anonymous.

If you'd like to participate, contact Marietta Patch editor Melissa Kory by June 26: melissa.kory@patch.com. That's all you have to do, and we'll get you set up.

If it is past June 26 and you would still like to apply, we would like to hear from you. So please email me and I will try to get you on the list to receive surveys. And if you want to have your voice heard (on almost any subject), consider becoming a LOCAL VOICE on Patch.

Thank you for your time and insight. We'll be reaching out with the first survey soon!

And if you're a Democrat, don't despair. We'll be contacting you soon with an invitation to participate in a similar survey.
