Vote for Daniel Blackman: Download and share Democratic flyers for Georgia’s Jan. 5 runoff

By Jonathan Grant @Brambleman In about 70 hours, Georgia’s polls will close in the all-important runoff elections. You know who you are. You know who you want to win. If you want to help cajole others to vote, I’ve included some flyers you can share, including a pdf you can download and/or share with yrou friends via email. It’s important to let people know about Democratic Georgia Public Service Commission Candidate Daniel Blackman. Most people don’t know much, if anything, about the PSC, which regulates Georgia Power Company and other utilities in the state, and there’s a danger that people will simply pass over the contest, even though it’s Democrats’ chance to break the Republican stranglehold on statewide offices. Vote for Daniel…

GOP Georgia Public Service Commissioner trolls Democrats’ coal ash town hall

I looked up “Tool” in the Urban Dictionary. Echols fits every definition except “Kanye West” by Jonathan Grant @Brambleman On the Georgia Public Service Commission, Tim Echols functions largely as a cheerleader for Georgia Power Company and Plant Vogtle. Like every other PSC member—and all statewide officeholders—he’s a Republican. He’s also a proud pro-lifer, Trumpist evangelical, and founder of TeenPact, “a hands-on leadership experience for Christian students,” which gives out the Tim Echols Political Involvement Award and sells Frisbee discs for $12 at its online store. I think his goal is to build a next-gen army of Republican politicians. To top off Georgia’s misfortune, he’s also active on social media and seems to be the most outspoken, loquacious, and insufferable commissioner, by…
