ATLANTA - U.S. Rep. Paul Broun lent his presence Monday to a collection of new conservative organizations as they released report cards on his colleagues and members of the Georgia General Assembly.
Broun, R-Athens, hailed the groups as the leaders in reclaiming personal freedoms given by the country's Founding Fathers and taken away by misguided politicians since.
"I can't change Washington, neither can any member of Congress or all the members of Congress," he said. "What's going to change Congress, what's going to change this nation, is groups like this coalition."
The groups - Americans for Prosperity, Georgia Tea Party, 9.12 Group, Madison Forum - claim e-mail lists of 100,000 activists ready to work for the candidates earning their support.
The 9.12 Group explicitly endorsed Republicans Melvin Everson for state labor commissioner, Gerry Purcell for insurance commissioner and Doug MacGinnitie for secretary of state.
The legislative races gaining endorsements were all in Metro Atlanta.
