SPLOST does not equal Fairtax
Official Statement On This Issue from Jim Duffie, State Director of 'Georgians for FairTax'
"The comparison is apples to oranges – the FairTax is a national program and is comprehensive in tax restructuring. The Splost – with whatever letter it begins with – is just an add-on sales tax, with no redeeming economic factors. The State of Georgia needs true tax reform – a state fairtax program – which would provide economic stimulus enough to supply funds for any infrastructure needs without having to play favorites or give exemptions. That’s what the *SPLOST proponents should be working toward, instead of this mishmash of pieced together, political gerrymandering, slush-fund! "
In the Founders’ Corner A Balanced Budget Amendment?
Written by Coweta Tea Party Patriots
Scott Bradley, a candidate for the United States Senate in 2006 and 2010, holds a Ph.D. in Constitutional Law. He is the founder and chairman of the Constitution Commemoration Foundation, Inc., and is the author of a book and DVD/CD lecture series entitled To Preserve the Nation.
"Toward the preservation of your Government and the permanency of your present happy state, it is requisite . . . that you resist with care the spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. One method of assault may be to effect in the forms of the Constitution alterations which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine what can not be directly overthrown . . . Liberty itself will find in such a government, with powers properly distributed and adjusted, its surest guardian." (Messages and Papers of the Presidents, George Washington, vol. 1, 210)
"In tendering this homage to the great Author of every public and private good . . . No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the affairs of men, more than the people of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency." (Messages and Papers of the Presidents, George Washington, "First Inaugural" Address, vol. 1, 44-45)
The Republican Establishment's Strategic Blunder
Written by Coweta Tea Party PatriotsThe Republican Party has a tenuous hold on the conservative movement in America. At present the only home for the 40 per cent of the electorate that identify themselves as conservative is the Republican Party, but it appears that those who are nominally identified as the "Republican Establishment" are doing all they can to alienate the vast majority of the current base of the Party.

Yet another blow for Charter Schools in Georgia on Tuesday night. In a standing room only meeting, the Fulton County School Board voted 7-0 to deny the renewal of the charter for Georgia's #1 rated school - The Fulton Science Academy (FSA). This continues a pattern started by other school systems in the state earlier this year. The board seemed to be worried about the backlash and left abruptly after the vote.
