  New Georgia Encyclopedia: Sam Nunn (b. 1938)
Samuel Augustus Nunn was born on September 8, 1938, and reared in the small town of Perry, in middle Georgia.
Nunn believed that the swing vote in America would respond well to the moderate message of the DLC, which is widely credited with creating the "New Democrat" agenda on which Bill Clinton was elected U.S. president in 1992.
Nunn sponsored legislation in 1989 that encouraged greater citizen participation in the service of the country by offering educational benefits, including federal loans and scholarships, in return for up to two years of public service in a "civilian service corps" or in the military.
