Election 2014 - Georgia Senate - Perdue vs. Nunn. Race Analysis 10/17/14 -- This is one of the few races in the country to break heavily toward Democrats.
Perdue certainly hasn’t helped himself with his comments about outsourcing, especially in rural Georgia. The question here is whether Obama’s job approval ultimately acts as an anchor on Nunn, and more importantly, whether she can get to the 50 percent needed to avoid a runoff.

Reps. Johnson, Labrador introduce bill to de-militarize police. Congressmen want to reform Pentagon’s 1033 Program that gives military-grade weapons to local law enforcement departments for free WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep.
Hank Johnson (GA-04) and Rep. Raul Labrador (R) (ID-01) introduced the bipartisan Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act of 2014 (H.R. 5478), which would place restrictions and transparency measures on the Department of Defense (DOD) Program that transfers surplus military equipment to state and local law enforcement agencies. “Militarizing America’s main streets won’t make us any safer, just more fearful and more reticent,” said Johnson.
“Before another small town’s police force gets a $750,000 gift from the Defense Department that it can't maintain or manage, it behooves us to press pause on Pentagon’s 1033 program and revisit the merits of a militarized America.” Find your reform candidate! #vote4reform.
