He served in the U.S. Army, making the rank of captain , was wounded in combat in Vietnam. Cleland was awarded the Silver Star and the Bronze Star for valorous action in combat. Due to his injuries, doctors amputated both of Cleland's legs above the knee and his right forearm. He was a member of the Georgia state senate from 1971-1975.

He was a Senate staff member from 1975-1977, and he was appointed administrator of United States Veterans Administration by President Jimmy Carter in 1977, and served until 1981.He became Georgia's Secretary of State representative in 1982 through 1996.

Isn't it interesting how the blue state's crime rates are so much higher than in red states, how much worse blue state's fiscal condition is than red states, and how much more government resources are consumed by blue states. I still remember the difference between the two states hit worse by Katrina - Louisianna and Mississippi. The inept mayor of New Orleans was hiding in his hotel room. New Orleans residents were sitting around waiting to be rescued at the bowl, being preyed on by gang thugs. The governor refuted Federal attempts to coordinate aid before the storm struck. Meanwhile, in Mississippi, people were helping each other clean up the mess and the governor was actually working closely with the Feds. So, I'll take the hard-working, help yourself and your neighbor thinking over the selfish, rely-on-others, blame-others thinking anyday.

I am glad the Dems sent the Power player Bill Clinton to Georgia he won the state twice but it still remains an up hill battle for Martin and our community needs to turn out the way we turmed out for Obama.

How can anyone forget Chambliss and what he said to win at all cost. We remember. Chambliss should not be returned to Congress.
