Welcome
Peace and Love. Thank you for visiting my website. On July 20, 2010 you have the opportunity to re-elect into office a strong independent woman who for over 25 years has fought for the rights of all Georgians. Now is the time to begin building our communities; one person at a time, one house at a time, one block at a time. We cannot rest until all our children enjoy a 21st century education, our seniors have access to much-needed services, our neighborhoods are lined with quality businesses and hardworking Georgians once again are gainfully employed.
I am in this race for you. Your agenda is my agenda. Your concerns are my concerns. It is time for you to have a voice once again in the Georgia State Capitol. Vote to re-elect “Able” Mable Thomas for House District 55.
Do not be silenced by politics any more.
The Georgia Association of Educators Endorses Able Mable!

Dear Mable,
Common Cause Georgia would like to thank you for responding to the ethics reform survey we sent you. Common Cause Georgia sent this survey to candidates running for the Georgia House, Senate, and State office. Our goal is to see what candidates are in favor with these two specific ethics reform measures we outlined in the poll.
As you know, House Bill 920 was introduced last year by Rep. Wendell Willard. The bill had 40 co-sponsors from both parties who came from all parts of the state. This legislation offered real reform that would have taken major steps forward in curbing the ability of lobbyists and special interests to use money to slant the legislative process. |

House Bill 920 was not passed. It never even got a committee hearing. The ethics bill that was passed in 2010 did not address any of the reforms supported in HB 920; specifically, a $100 limit on the value of any one gift by a lobbyist to an elected official, and a $10,000 limit on total transfers from a candidate's campaign account to other candidates, parties, campaign committees and PACs. You will have a chance to remedy that in 2011.
We have started posting the responses on our website for voters to see. Please take this chance to inform voters in your area about our survey so they can see how you voted for these reforms. In addition to viewing your response, they will be able to see what candidates in your race have not yet responded.
Thank you again for your response to our survey.
