Let Georgia Vote 

Keeping you informed - FAIR Up or Down VOTE Legislative Questionnaire

As part of our effort to promote good government and to keep you informed, we have sent our first Legislative Questionnaire on two issues.  These two issues are; Ballot Access Reform Act of 2005 and The Georgia Flag FAIR Vote Act. Preparation for the 2006 Legislative Session has started, with your continued support we hope to be in the Capitol almost every day they are in Session working for good government.

The Legislative Questionnaire for HB-15 The Georgia Flag FAIR Vote Act is in the box below.

A recent Mason Dixon Poll showed what virtually everybody in Georgia already knew - 79% of Georgians want a FAIR Vote. This concept, Letting The People does not really need a lot of explanation. There is just something American about letting the People Vote. In fact we hear a constant roar out of the Republicans in Washington DC about how important a "FAIR Up or Down Vote" is. The same party controls the State House, State Senate and Governor's Office here in Georgia - shouldn't we hear the same pitch here?

Well we do not.

Here in Georgia what we hear is the Atlanta Chamber and other special interests saying "No Vote!" That's right 79% of the People of Georgia want a FAIR Vote and the special interests say "No!"

We believe that you - the citizens have a right to know who your elected officials are listening to - and representing - you or the special interests. We will be publishing the results of the Legislative Questionnaire, or the lack of response.

Next year is an election year and we do get to vote!
