- State Sen. Vincent Fort
Fort, 55, who represents parts of Atlanta and East Point, said doctors told him he had cancer during the summer and he's optimistic treatment will be successful."I can call myself, in a little while, a cancer survivor," Fort told Channel 2. "That's the title I want."
Fort, if you recall, was arrested alongside more than 50 Occupy Atlanta protesters at Woodruff Park in October. He's also scheduled to rally with the leaderless group today to raise awareness about Georgia's foreclosure laws.

Senator Fort has succeeded in so many battles, isn't the betting that he will overcome this one also?
