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.

Harry Potter wins in court
Harry Potter books will stay on library shelves in a suburban Atlanta county. Today a judge in Gwinnett County upheld school officials’ decision to keep the popular series in county schools. Parent Laura Mallory has tried to get rid of the books since 2005 saying they promote witchcraft. School board members say the books encourage children to read and spark creativity and imagination. Mallory says she will take her case against the books to federal court.
