Laura Bush visiting Atlanta

First lady Laura Bush visits Atlanta on Thursday to talk about education and school dropouts. She'll also help raise money for Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss.

The White House said yesterday that she will attend a luncheon held by the Communities in Schools program -- which calls itself the nation's largest dropout prevention organization.

The first lady also will visit the Piedmont Driving Club for a $1,000-a-head fundraiser for Chambliss.

Chambliss faces his first bid for re-election next year. He has raised $4 million although he has no opponent in the primary.
