Why I support Doug MacGinnitie for Secretary of State
I enthusiastically support Doug because I believe he is a genuine Reagan Republican. He actually worked for Reagan; he was an intern for Pres Reagan during his last year in office. And like Reagan, Doug had a successful private sector career prior to entering politics. He entered politics locally in a grassroots success story - as a councilman for the new city of Sandy Springs. Sandy Springs stands as a beacon for voter self determination and minimal government payroll with its extensive use of private services. The Reagan and Sandy Springs experience are bookends to a stellar professional and business career. Doug is well prepared to bring vision and experience to the Secretary of State's office - to assure fair elections, less red tape in licensing new businesses, and a fresh look at occupational licensing.
Who is Doug? Doug grew up and was educated in the Dunwoody area. Following law school, he was Chief Counsel at Georgia Pacific before he co-founded Beecher Carlson, a commercial insurance brokerage.
What does he want to do? From the start I was drawn to his platform of modernizing absentee voting and assuring the vote for the military. If you remember the 2000 vote in FL you remember how the military was disenfranchised there. We can't let that happen here. Doug also questions if the 140+ occupations, trades, and professions licensed by the state all REQUIRE state supervision. He wants to look at ways to make it easier for individuals to get to work without excessive state oversight if the nature of the work is not ever likely to be a threat to public safety. He believes starting to work or starting a business in GA should not be an ordeal of administrivia and state delay.
Can Doug win? Voters around the state have really responded to him. He wins straw polls hands down. And he's been endorsed by leading Tea Party organizations like the "912" project.
Many wonderful people in Glynn County agree with me that Doug is the new generation leader for the Secretary of State's office. Please join us. Vote in the GOP primary. Put up a yard sign! Ask your friends to support Doug.

Spend 4 minutes with Fox and Friends
Saturday June 12, FOX and Friends asked Senator Eric Johnson's take on illegal immigration. But first of course they start with the usual scare tactics. Watch Eric deflect the sob stories and stand up for the taxpayer. I like his answers and you'd think he was carrying on a conversation. Instead he was in a dark room staring at a camera answering questions from disembodied voices. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w38zQclXVY

I support (former) State Senator Eric Johnson for Governor
... because he is a proven Reagan Republican, a southern conservative, and a leader in ethics and effective government.
And because he knows the truth about Roy Barnes and is ready to face him in the fall. For example, see his response to Roy's first television ads: "Forgive but don't forget.

An architect from Savannah, State Senator Eric Johnson has helped put Georgia on a solid foundation. As Senate Minority Leader, he led Republicans to the majority for the first time in over 130 years. Respected by his colleagues, Johnson was then elected Senate President Pro Tempore. In that role, he passed legislation that cut taxes, empowered small businesses, and protected doctors and businesses from frivolous lawsuits. Eric has the vision to see beyond the next election cycle and think about the Georgia his two children will inherit. As Governor, Eric Johnson can be trusted to put Georgia back to work.
Other local supporters include Cleve Bennett, Jim Bishop, Pat Cooper, Nancy Coverdell, Carlton Devooght, Bobby & Barbara Ellis, Cap Fendig, Edwin Fendig, Fred & Elizabeth Freyer. Mike Hodges, J. Gregory Howard, Senator Mack & Leslie Mattingly, Joe McDonough, Russ Metzner, Ronnie Perry, Virginia Ramsey, Ben Slade, Bill & Willou Smith, Mayor Bryan Thompson, Thad Truett, and Jimmy Veal
