GPB Hiring Chip Rogers Criticized
"One of the most anti-immigrant Senators is purportedly resigning from his Georgia State Senate position. Once a man who was 'inline' for a possible US Senate position is now quitting. This could effectively shut him out of future possible leadership as quitting is never a good approach for future office. Yet another blow for the hardliners of extreme intolerant right in Georgia loosing a very powerful and influential supporter."- Erik Voss posted in GIRRC - Georgia Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition.

Sanders for Sheriff Will Reduce Jail Population
Roundtree approach will be more proactive preventing crimes while Sanders was vocal letting voters to know that he will luck up everybody having trouble with the law and order. At a recent forum he said that he will let go those offenders with chance to improve in their lives. There will be no third chance though, he pointed out.
The biggest doubt is if either Roundtree or Sanders could do much to keep independence from the federal government influence and the privatization of the prison system. Also in Georgia the General Assembly has given unelected citizens panels power over immigration and utilizing local law enforcement as immigration agents.

Let me state my premise clearly: Aside from what the mob of media commentators and pundits, opposition spinners, comedians ,talk show hosts and sympathetic apologists spew, there is no standard-based evidence that President Barak Obama blew or lost the first presidential debate with challenger Mitt Romney, any more than there is evidence that the thousands of black men lynched in the not too distant past suffered that fate because they accosted white women or did something wrong.

Anderson Ready to Run John Barrow Home
Grovetown, GA – Lee Anderson was declared the winner today of the August 21 Republican Primary run-off election. Following the certification of votes by the Secretary of State’s office, Anderson’s opponent, Rick Allen, requested a recount. After today’s recount, Anderson was officially declared the Republican nominee, winning by 159 votes.
“Now is the time for common sense conservatives in Georgia’s 12th Congressional District to work together to stop the Obama-Barrow agenda that’s saddling our children and grandchildren with debt and threatening the future of our country,” said Anderson.
National debt reaches coincidently 16 trillion dollars.
“I congratulate Rick Allen, Wright McLeod, and Maria Sheffield for running tough races and we welcome them on board the unified Republican team devoted to holding Washington politicians like John Barrow to task for gutting Medicare, stifling job creation, and bankrupting America.
Together, we can send Barack Obama and John Barrow packing and make sure that America’s brightest days are still ahead.”

Healthy Georgians Not Desirable for Deal
Gov. Nathan Deal’s decision not to expand Medicaid, as outlined under the Affordable Care Act. was quoted as saying he supported the idea of a ‘’block grant’’ approach to Medicaid. That proposal would result in the federal government giving a fixed amount of Medicaid dollars to the state, which would then gain more flexibility on how to spend that money.

Constitution Aborted in Mississipi
"In this case, plaintiffs have offered evidence - including quotes from significant legislative and executive officers - that the act's purpose is to eliminate abortions in Mississippi," Jordan found.
"They likewise submitted evidence that no safety or health concerns motivated its passage. This evidence has not yet been rebutted."
The Supreme Court's ruling in Roe v. Wade (1973) established that the right to have an abortion is protected by the U.S. Constitution, which means that states are prohibited from banning abortions performed prior to the point of viability. Roe originally established viability at 24 weeks; Casey v. Planned Parenthood (1992) shortened it to 22 weeks.
In Mississippi there is only one abortion clinic that services the entire state, and it only performs abortions up to 16 weeks. One strategy used by the anti-abortion movement involves driving abortion clinics out of business, which arguably serves the same function as a state-level ban.
The state’s only abortion clinic filed suit in federal court on Wednesday to stop a law from taking effect that it says will effectively ban the practice in Mississippi. The clinic, the Jackson Women’s Health Organization, said the law, which is to go into effect on today Sunday, is unconstitutional and imposes “medically unjustified requirements on physicians who perform abortions.”
The law says anyone doing an abortion at a clinic must be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital. A clinic spokeswoman says the three physicians who work there are OB-GYNs but do not have admitting privileges, which can be difficult to obtain.
Gov. Phil Bryant, who made a sworn to protect and obey the Constitution, says he hopes the law will make Mississippi "abortion-free" state.
The Mississippi Department of Health says it will inspect the clinic on Monday for compliance. If the clinic cannot meet the new state law requirements, then it will have the right to appeal and begin an administrative process that could take several months. But, clinic president Diane Derzis says, employees would be subject to arrest and fines of up to $2,000 a day if the clinic stays open. So, it would essentially be forced to close.
"It's an absolute tragedy," Derzis said. "No one wants to talk about abortion. No one wants to think about abortion until they're there," she said.
Updated. Judge Jordan extended his previous order July 11. The clinic still will be open until final decision is made.
