I received the following Media Alert today about an important initiative that deals with one of the fastest-growing and addicting drugs ever to hit the state of Georgia and beyond. I took special notice to the two high profile Elected officials who have teamed up to unveil this statewide prevention campaign next week. They are: Republican U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson and Democratic U.S. Attorney General Thurbert Baker. If you think about it, most if not all, issues that our elected officials must address impact a variety of people. Even those that are considered Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green, Liberterian or other. And no matter if one person voted for another. The prevalence of and the impact of Meth in Georgia is staggering and doesn’t target a particular political party of people. And such is the case with virtually every other social or economic challenge facing us today. It sure would be nice, and would be much more effective, if all of our elected officials, from Washington, DC to our local municipalities can work together, on causes that address people (constituents), no matter what one’s political affiliation. This initiative is an indicator that it can happen. And I do realize that is not an isolated event. But it needs to happen much, much more.
Georgia Meth Project – Media Alert sent by Jackson Spaulding
The Georgia Meth Project will launch its statewide prevention campaign—and unveil its innovative television, print, and outdoor advertising—at the Georgia State Capitol on Monday, March 8, 2010. The news conference will begin at 11 a.m.
The Honorable Johnny Isakson, United States Senator, and Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker will be joined by members of the Georgia Meth Project Advisory Council, substance abuse experts, and Georgia families whose lives have been impacted by Meth use.
The goal of the Georgia Meth Project is to significantly reduce first-time methamphetamine use in the state, and address the social and economic burden caused by Meth use in Georgia.
Project Logic Ga 
Baker and Isakson have histories of reaching across the aisle for solutions. Meth is wreaking havoc American communities and someone needs to do something quickly. I watch A&E’s Intervention then double check the door locks. Nancy Reagan said just say no to drugs and she was so right. The human body was not designed to feel that good and the feeling is a false sense of euphoria.
The Dem Team couldn’t seriously after the seat of the GOP senator I find most likable. That effort is a big waste of time and energy to me.
Informative and very well written! Drugs and their impact are non-partisan issues htat effect all of us! Keep writing!!!!!!

And Slyram, not only is that attempt a waste of time, but it’s a waste of money too.
