Perdue claims Sonny
Perdue is Bought and Paid For!
During the 2002 Campaign Sonny Perdue claimed that his
opponent was the candidate of the "fat cats." He claimed that Roy Barnes was getting the big check contributions and Sonny was the
candidate of the average person.

Bought and Paid For
80% of Barnes Contributions From $5,000 Donors;
Average Contribution of $1,600 Shows He's the Candidate of the Fat
Cat, Not the Average Georgian
ATLANTA, GA -
Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Sonny Perdue's campaign today
asked which Georgians Governor Roy Barnes really represents in light
of news reports today that the average contribution to his campaign
was a whopping $1,600.00 and that 80% of his campaign cash came in
the form of $5,000.00 checks.
"The average Georgian can't sit down and write a
$5,000.00 check to a political campaign," said Perdue Campaign
Manager Scott Rials. "It makes you wonder about two things: which
Georgians does Barnes really represent and what are these fat cats
getting for their money?"
An article in today's Atlanta
Journal-Constitution described the process by which Barnes
became the biggest beneficiary of a law increasing political
contribution limits in Georgia - a law he pushed through the General
Assembly.
The article also revealed that 24% of Barnes
contributions came from outside of Georgia including $10,000 from a
software company in New Orleans which will have received more than
$8 million in state contracts from the Barnes Administration by the
end of this year.
"Roy Barnes has been bought and paid for by big
business interests, lobbyists and holders of state contracts," Rials
said. "These are smart businessmen, they don't just throw away
thousands of dollars. They expect something in return and Roy Barnes
has obviously told them - with a wink and a nod maybe - that they'll
get it."
|
Well take a look at what happened, just AFTER the 2002
election. From then until December 31 (less than 60 days) Sonny seems to
have undergone some kind of transformation.
Here is a list of checks he received in that 60 days
which were over $4,000 (from his campaign finance report for December 31,
2002 - public record):

Now based upon our count that is 207 checks for
$4,000.00 or more and a total of $1,025,175.00.
Under any circumstances this is a lot of major
contributions to a campaign "after"
the election. Especially the many $5,000.00 contributions to the "primary"
election which was many months prior to the delivery of the check. Even a
rocket scientist assistant might think that some of these contributions
were not associated with the just ended "campaign."
By using the definition established by Sonny Perdue himself - within 60
days of being elected governor - Sonny Perdue was:
Bought and Paid For
Using Sonny Perdue's own campaign words to look at his first 60 days
after the election. What they said about Barnes is just as true for
Perdue!
"The average Georgian can't sit down and
write a $5,000.00 check to a political campaign," said Perdue Campaign
Manager Scott Rials. "It makes you wonder about two things: which
Georgians does Barnes [Perdue] really represent
and what are these fat cats getting for their money?"
Continuing to use Sonny Perdue's own campaign words to look at his first 60 days after the election:
"Roy Barnes
[Sonny Perdue]
has been bought and paid for by big business interests, lobbyists and
holders of state contracts," Rials said. "These are smart businessmen,
they don't just throw away thousands of dollars. They expect something in
return and Roy Barnes [Sonny Perdue] has obviously told them - with a wink and a nod
maybe - that they'll get it."
But Sonny was on a roll. From January 1,
2003 until the Legislature opened here is the list of checks he received
for $4,000.00 or more (from campaign finance report filed June 30, 2003 -
public record):

Once again using the words of his own campaign to review his own
contributions. What they said about Barnes is just as true for Perdue!
"These are smart businessmen, they
don't just throw away thousands of dollars. They expect something in
return and Roy Barnes [Sonny Perdue] has obviously
told them - with a wink and a nod maybe - that they'll get it."
Is this what you voted for? While
campaigning for your vote, Sonny was quick to criticize Roy Barnes for his
ties to special interests. But here is what the top special interest in
our whole State - The Metro Atlanta Chamber had to say about Sonny Perdue:
"The Metro Atlanta
Chamber won about three-fourths of its agenda, most critically the
flag. Given a new Governor and new legislative leadership, this was a
great achievement."
Those are the Chamber's own words, when he wanted your
vote Sonny said:
"These
are smart businessmen, they don't just throw away thousands of dollars."
