Restore The Georgia Flag - Let The people Vote!

Austin Scott - the Chamber Rules and Georgia Drools

"The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite."

- Thomas Jefferson

Despite telling several people who took the time to go to the Capitol that he would give the Georgia Flag FAIR Vote a FAIR hearing - in the end, Austin Scott has sided with the Metro Atlanta Chamber.

A majority of Georgians have clearly indicated that they believe there is something American about letting the people vote. The Metro Atlanta Chamber has publicly bragged that they have enough influence on the Perdue Administration to prevent the People from voting.

So we have a classic example of grass roots vs. the unholy influence of special interests in the 2005 - 2006 Session of the Georgia Legislature.

Will the Legislature listen to the people or pander to special interests?

This is the first Legislature since Reconstruction that is controlled by the Republican Party. They control the State House, State Senate and Governor’s Office. Representative Austin Scott was chosen by Republican Speaker Glenn Richardson to be the chairman of the committee that he assigned to the Georgia Flag FAIR Vote Act - HB-15.

What has the response been so far from this Republican controlled State Government?

• The 79% of Georgians that the Mason Dixon Poll showed want a Fair Vote are being ignored!
   

• The Metro Atlanta Chamber that stated preventing the People from getting a FAIR Vote was their most critical issue - AND - they had influenced the Perdue Administration to not allow the People to Vote is NOT being ignored.

Over the past few months we have all seen the TV ads of the Republicans demanding a “FAIR Up or Down” vote in Washington. But here in Georgia they say “No Vote!”

When he refuses to let the FAIR Vote bill come up for a Vote - who is Representative Austin Scott representing - you or the special interests? If you are not sure just listen to his own party’s statements from Washington! They speak very poorly of officials who do not support a FAIR Up or Down Vote.

Send a present to Representative Austin Scott An increasing number of our fellow citizens are becoming concerned about the direction of our federal, State and local governments. Most of the attention is focused on the claims, counter claims of the Republican and Democratic Parties. Each will tell you that the other represents disaster, sometimes even when they both have the same basic position. At times it seems that our entire political process is nothing more than a grand scheme for special interests to gain influence at the expense of the citizens who pay for all of this. On many issues there is no question that special interests have more representation than the citizens. The current situation on a FAIR Up or Down Vote on our State Flag is an example. Regardless of which Flag they support, the vast majority of Georgians believe that they - not the special interests should decide. Representative Austin Scott has decided that he will use his power as Chairman of the committee the bill is assigned to - Governmental Affairs - to represent the Atlanta Chamber and ignore the majority of Georgians. We are pleased to begin announcing the launch of our first major organizing efforts (See: The Southern Party: A Plan for 2006 Election Cycle). The first of which is the delivery of a 16 page newspaper (A Real Choice - image of page 2 on right, click for larger image) to all registered voter households in selected districts.

We believe that it is time for the citizens to take back control of the political process from the special interests.
