Why in the world did you decide to take on John Barrow?
Regina Thomas: Several things. First, it didn’t matter who was in the seat, this is the year that I set aside to run. Fate would have it that John’s record is horrible.
His representation is lacking and he hasn’t been accessible to the district, I don’t know what he’s doing, where he’s going, or who he’s talking with, but it’s certainly not with the people, and he’s certainly not coming back with information and letting us know what’s going on in Washington. He has done a couple of conference calls that I’ve been involved in, but it was only to defend these bad votes that he’s been making.
After I got into it, I started receiving all these phone calls, people saying, “Thank you for running, he’s horrible, he’s this, he’s that.” Prior to that, I was so busy doing what I was doing in Atlanta, and then I went to research his record and I said, “My goodness, this really is the right time.”
Were you surprised when Barack Obama jumped into this thing on Barrow’s side?
Regina Thomas: Absolutely not! In politics it’s quid pro quo. You scratch my back, I scratch yours. And that’s exactly what it is.
Thomas is opposed to FISA abuse. I hope that she wins.

My son goes to college in Savannah
and is volunteering with her campaign. He told me last night that they are sending literature and signs for him to distribute. He also volunteered to work on their website.
It’s his first foray into the world of politics, and he is very excited about her candidacy and the opportunity to get involved. I’ll send him the link you included in this post. I’m sure he’ll be interested.
bless him
thank you very much
