Congratulations to Nathan Deal for clinching the Republican nomination in the Gubernatorial primary runoff. That makes this a three-man race, with Democrat Roy Barnes, Republican Nathan Deal, and Libertarian John Monds.

Don’t forget to vote for the runoff on August 10th.  Please get out and vote to Save Georgia’s Coast.  Learn more about the candidates’ position on water issues by watching the videos below or viewing the voter guide here:  http://www.thevoterguide.org/v/ajc10/.  To view videos of all the candidates, click here.

You can help promote a better future for Georgia’s coast by contacting the candidates and telling them that it doesn’t cost Georgia taxpayers a nickel to appoint to the right people to the right positions, and to let law enforcement officers do their jobs.

The videos below come from Fox5 Atlanta News.  They are embedded below to provide you with information on the candidates for whom interviews were provided.  All available interviews from Fox5 Atlanta with the candidates on water issues have been posted.  For a complete list of all candidates visit the Secretary of State’s website http://www.sos.georgia.gov/MVP/Login.aspx.

You can learn more about where the candidates for governor stand on water and coastal issues by attending the Gubernatorial Forum on June 24th.

Gubernatorial Forum on Water and the Environment
Attend and Show Your Support for Clean Water and a Healthy Environment!

Join hundreds of fellow supporters of clean water and a healthy environment to hear candidates in the 2010 governor’s race discuss their views on these important topics. Your participation will make a big difference and demonstrate that Georgians want our next Governor to make clean water and a healthy environment a priority.

When: Thursday, June 24, 2010, 7:00 – 8:30 PM (doors open at 6:30)
Where: Savannah Rapids Pavilion, 3300 Evans to Locks Rd., Martinez, GA (North of Augusta).

No matter whom you choose to support for governor, we strongly encourage you to vote in the July 20th primary election.

We are so excited to be unveiling this new website for our group of Georgia environmental organizations. We have come together because we are alarmed about unchecked development and water pollution along the coast. The state government doesn’t fairly enforce the laws written to control pollution to protect the natural features of Georgia’s coast. We are working together to hold elected officials accountable to their responsibilities that we can drink the water and eat the fish.

RIGHT NOW, Georgians are vying for the chance to be the next Governor.  If you believe that our pollution control laws should be fairly enforced, YOU can help!

Here’s 4 simple steps to take to help out:

1. Sign up to receive alerts of when candidates will be in your area.
2. Download the talking points and questions to ask the candidates for Governor.
3. Attend a meeting and ask the questions–or if you can’t attend, pass them along to a friend.
4. Tell us about how it went.

So get started by signing up to receive notifications of candidate events today!
