State Senate Seat 56 Race Heating Up:
Sadiq for Senate Signs Stolen Throughout District

            Akhtar Sadiq, Democratic Candidate for State Senate District 56, has been the victim of theft.  Sadiq's large political signs, secured by wooden posts, have been stolen off of private property throughout the district.  

            "I suppose we should take it as a compliment that my opponent is feeling nervous; however, people are tired of the same old, dirty politics" said Sadiq.  He went on to say, "It is unbelievable that some folks are brazen enough to go onto private property and destroy something that does not belong to them.  It does not speak well of my opponent's supporters." 

            Sadiq says, "I am running for State Senate because I have the skills and experience necessary to strengthen our local community and a proven track record of working successfully with Democrats and Republicans – something we haven't seen from Dan Moody." 

            Sadiq earned 49% of all votes cast in State Senate District 56 on July 15, 2008, which shows the district is in play this fall.   Sadiq and his wife have two children both of whom are married and run their own successful businesses.

            American Hero former United States Senator Max Cleland, State Senator Curt Thompson and DeKalb County Sheriff Thomas Brown have endorsed Sadiq. 

            In 2006, the Georgia Secretary of State Cathy Cox honored Sadiq with the Outstanding Leadership in the Community award as well as the Outstanding Georgia Citizen award.  Currently, Sadiq serves as the Treasurer on the Board of Directors for the U.S. Navy League and is an Honorary Commander for the Department of Defense.
