Calling All Red-Blooded Democrats

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

Dallas-Hiram Patch is looking for current and former Democratic 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.

"Blue Georgia" surveys will focus on issues that matter to Democrats in Paulding, 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 inbox 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.

And if you're a Republican, don't despair. Though we’ve recruited several Dallas-Hiram Patch readers for “Red Georgia,” a similar project, we’re still looking for one or two more participants.

If you'd like to participate for either of these projects, contact Dallas-Hiram Patch Editor Jon Gargis at jon.gargis@patch.com. That's all you have to do, and we'll get you set up.
