On Friday afternoon, the Senate took a final vote on an amended SB 213, a bill much overshadowed by the Atlanta airport, heartbeats, and coal ash. In case you’re unfamiliar with SB 213, it has to do with donation disclosures by our state representatives and senators. Since 2014, there has been a report due on
District 8 State Representative Matt Gurtler has earned the nickname Dr. NO from his colleagues in the Georgia House.

Voting “Present” must be the new thing. Buzz Aldrin and the remaining Apollo astronauts, stylin’ and profiling’.

In just three months since taking power, the Democratic Party has embarked on a radical agenda threatening Americans’ constitutional rights and undermining the freedoms we hold so dear.
