  1. I had the tremendous honor today of sharing my grandfather's letters/ western unions with great group of WWII veterans from around the state and got to hear Mrs. Helen Denton (Ret. Army) tell her stories (in pic) from her time in service working for Eisenhower and her book.

  11. Another example of the great work that our technical colleges are doing for Middle Georgians. I had a great conversation with this group of young men and women yesterday during my visit to Middle Georgia Tech. College. The teachers and students are going beyond the classroom to learn about what is going on in our country and what this year's elections will mean for their futures. Thanks for having me!

  13. I know Tony has been working hard for this day. He and his wife joined us last year at the Congressional Baseball Game and Vivien Scott and I were honored to take part in his homecoming celebration several months later. From the GA-08 community, congrats, Tony!

  14. Another story from last week's farm tour. Go to AustinScott.house.gov for the full release:

    During a stop at Sam Dykes’ farm in Cochran, GA on the second day of the tour, the conversation turned to the impact the Estate Tax, commonly know...
    n as the “Death Tax”, would have on family farms. Mr. Dykes told Rep. Scott, "I'm sitting on my retirement-- this land. [The] Estate tax is going to impact us all. Agriculture is land rich and money poor. We can't afford for the Estate Tax to come back.

    Mr. Dykes went on to say, “You want to keep the family farm running? Get rid of the Federal Estate Tax-- that's the number one thing you can do."
