Calder Clay's New Media Campaign For Georgia's Third District
Calder Clay is the Republican candidate running against Democrat Rep. Jim Marshall for Georgia’s Third Congressional District seat.
Vice President Cheney said: "I was proud to campaign with Calder two years ago. He ran a tough, smart race and came very close to victory. He's going to run even harder this year, and the outcome is going to be different."
Calder Clay said: The biggest difference, "My opponent voted 73 percent of the time with Nancy Pelosi ... That's a failing grade in Middle Georgia, and we'll be pointing that out."
Pelosi, a California representative and House Minority Leader, is "the most liberal member of Congress."

MACON, GA – On Monday, Georgia Republican Congressional Candidate Calder Clay began his media campaign. Clay began running two ads to inform voters about Jim Marshall’s documented record in Washington.
Ads Document Jim Marshall’s Habit of Saying One Thing and Doing Another
Watch 1st New Ad: "Double Life"

In “Double Life,” the ad documents the conflict between Marshall’s rhetoric in Georgia versus his record in Washington, DC:
Disclaimer – I ’m Calder Clay and I approve this message.
VO: Jim Marshall leads a double life.
In Georgia, he runs ads claiming to support our veterans.
But in Washington, he voted against funding to help disabled vets.
(Roll Call Vote No. 452, 7/25/2003)
He says he supports marriage between a man and a woman.
But for more than 475 days he refused to sign legislation to ban gay marriage.
(H.J. RES. 56 – Introduced on 5/21/2003)
Now Jim Marshall talks about saving jobs.
But in Washington, he voted to keep the Death Tax that destroys family farms and small business.
(Roll Call Vote No. 288, 6/18/2003)
Jim Marshall – not the man he pretends to be.

In “Times Up,” the ad documents Marshall’s letter to 3rd District voters saying that he did not have time to focus his limited attention to the issue of tax reform. The ad documents that Marshall did find the time to take a leadership position on legislation for a commemorative coin, Living Well Week, and promoting square dancing.
Graphic Marshall:
“There are only so many hours in the day … I have made a conscious decision to focus my time and attention upon a very limited number of issues.” Macon Telegraph, August 19, 2004
Mahlon Marr and others have contacted me with a request that I support the "Fair Tax" proposal that, with elections just around the corner, has recently been mentioned by Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert. Like so many other issues that come across my desk in Washington, I am unable to take a leadership role on this one.
There are only so many hours in the day, even for members of Congress. I make sure that I get up to speed on every matter brought to the House floor for a vote, and all legislation pending before my committees.
Beyond that I have made a conscious decision to focus my time and attention upon a very limited number of issues. I am one who believes that those who seek to master all issues will master none.
Rep. Jim Marshall
3rd Congressional District
8/19/2004
VO: Jim Marshall said he didn’t have time to consider tax reform and could only focus his attention on a very limited number of issues. So what issues has Jim Marshall championed?
He was a co-sponsor to create a commemorative coin for Jamestown.

He co-sponsored legislation to create “Living Well Week.”
(H.CON. RES 416)
He also found time to sponsor legislation to make square dancing the national folk dance.

But no time for tax reform?
CALDER ON CAMERA: I’m Calder Clay and as your Congressman I’ll always have time for the issues that are important to you and that’s why I approve this message.
