Calling All Red-Blooded Republicans

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

And with Smyrna-Vinings being a hotbed for Republican loyalties, we know that more than a few of you would be interested in taking part. 

We are looking for current and former GOP 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.

"Red Georgia" surveys will focus on issues that matter to Republicans in Cobb, 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 ‘in’ box 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.

If you'd like to participate, contact Smyrna-Vinings Patch editor Sydney Busby: sydney.busby@patch.com. That's all you have to do, and we'll get you set up.

Thank you for your time and insight. We'll be reaching out with the first survey soon!

And if you're a Democrat, don't despair. We'll be contacting you soon with an invitation to participate in a similar survey.
