Former Speaker and Georgia Congressman Newt Gingrich had been named
Alex Johnson, the failed contender for GAGOP Chairman and apparent sore loser, sent out an email newsletter that tries to vilify my friend and fellow district chairman Brad Carver.

Congressman Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA-03) penned an op-ed for The Hill that ran last week discussing how we celebrate Military Appreciation Month each May.

The US Government Accountability Office released a report about legacy systems that various federal agencies still use…including one mainframe-based system used by the Treasury Department coded in assembler.
