I make it a point to go home every weekend so I can meet with Georgians and hear from them directly.

What I am proposing this year are not lofty concepts far removed form the daily struggle so of ordinary Georgians. They are proposals that directly effect the lives of the people we serve.

It is time we Georgians did not depend only on others, it is time we asked what Georgia will do for the world.

I am committed to making Georgia a model for open and honest government.

In my work as an actress and an activist, I've spent many years working with low income communities and people of color who don't always have a voice in our political process.

People, not just reporters, are more interested in politics than in government, so the actual issues wouldn't be something that interested them.

For example, I spent a lot of time with Reagan, both before he ran for governor and when he was running for president. As a print reporter without the cameras, I was able to really test the quality of their minds and their knowledge base.

I was a Georgia state legislator for a great many years.

I was a political reporter for quite some time, so I followed around all sorts of different politicians.

Give news a little more time, and don't request that they also, in their news time, entertain. We're not entertainers. We're journalists. And we need more time to do our job well.
