Stop Attacking Arizona, Attack the Federal Government!

Ever since the passing of Arizona bill SB1070, thousands have protested, states and cities have chosen to boycott Arizona, and members of the White House have criticized Arizona and Governor Brewer for discrimination and racial profiling. All of this, and not a single opponent of the bill has yet to even read it. It is not very long, and specifically prohibits racial profiling. Instead of facing facts, they just continue to attack Arizona, Gov. Brewer, and supporters of the bill and label them as racist. Funny thing is, the federal government's policies are much worse than Arizona's new law, but nobody will ever tell you that.

Driving anywhere in southern Arizona (as well as all other states that border Mexico) and you can be stopped, questioned, have your citizenship confirmed, or even be searched if you are suspected by the US Border Patrol as being a possible illegal immigrant. The USBP is only supposed to do this within 50 miles of a border and their roles are supposed to be limited to confirming immigration status. However, they do this sometimes up to 100 miles from the border and broaden their stops to include searching for drugs on regular citizens. There are many instances you can find on YouTube where Arizona residents have to stop at a checkpoint on a highway that runs East to West nearly 100 miles north of the border. The highway does not even go into Mexico or anywhere near the border, but USBP feels the need to search random cars for drugs, even if they prove to be a citizen. That's perfectly okay, but Arizona's law is illegal and racist? Odd logic, Washington.

The Arizona law simply allows for state and local law enforcement to be able to confirm the immigration status of any person that commits a crime or a traffic violation. With no federal agents in sight, other than the illegal checkpoints they have setup in southern Arizona, this will greatly broaden the amount of law enforcement checking the immigration status of people. And unlike the federal government, the State of Arizona doesn't allow for this to be random and to affect everyone. It will only affect those that break the law. Anywhere in America, this is standard procedure to check someone's drivers license when they are pulled over. Why is it called racism and profiling when Arizona checks someone's immigration status if that person cannot provide proper identification after being pulled over or arrested?

One obvious fact must be stated -- if the federal government was doing its job and protecting our borders, Arizona would not have a massive economic drain on their state caused by the growing number of illegals. Until our border is closed, Arizona has every right to do what the majority of people want them to and take care of the issue. Illegal immigrants are getting free emergency room visits and their children are getting free education. When it comes time to foot the bill left by the illegals, the responsibility falls on the tax-paying citizens. They are furious and demanded action. Arizona is delivering.

With the drugs and violence coming out of Mexico into Arizona, this is a security issue as well. Too often there are illegals robbing and murdering citizens. They are overcrowding the jails and causing yet another economic drain on the State. When the Secretary Janet Napolitano was Governor of Arizona, she practically begged Washington to help with the growing number of illegals coming into her state. Now that she leads the Department of Homeland Security, she turns her back on Arizona and criticizes the Governor for trying to tackle the issue herself.  Not to mention the fact that the Border Patrol with their illegal searches and their profiling happen to fall under none other than the Department of Homeland Security. Gee, Secretary Napolitano -- you're accusing Arizona of something that your department is doing ten times worse.

People need to look at facts instead of listening to Obama, Eric Holder, and Napolitano spit lies about a bill they have yet to even read. If you have not read the bill, the link is included below. Read it and decide for yourself who to attack - Arizona or the federal government. Based on the facts and the USBP searches that violate the Fourth Amendment, you'd be crazy to listen to Washington on this one. Since when did we trust what they have to say anyway? So enough with the race card - protect our border and remove those who don't have the decency to come here legally.

Obama's Poor Handling of the Oil Spill

It has been 6 weeks now since the explosion at the Deep Water Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, and nothing has been done. There has been many failed attempts to "plug the damn hole" and millions of gallons of oil have now leaked out into the Gulf. Governor Jindal of Louisiana is begging for help only to have to sit back and wait for federal approval on his attempts to save his State. This is simply becoming a distraction for Obama and his agenda and after weeks of being scrutinized by even his own party for doing too little about the situation, the White House is finally doing "something".

But what?! A criminal investigation?

A catastrophe is unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico, Governor Jindal and the State of Louisiana are crying out for help, the spill is massively spreading, hurricane season is here, and all you want to do is investigate. Forget trying to plug the hole, cleanup the mess, and do what needs to be done immediately and lets sit behind our desks and look for someone to punish. I guess the White House figures that pointing the finger just isn't enough anymore.

Who are their top suspects, anyway? Let me guess -- George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and BP executives. Based on the handling of the situation by this administration, I would say the only criminals behind this are the ones doing the investigation. Looking to lay blame while watching the disaster continue to unfold.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised at the actions of this administration. Much like our economy and other issues here in America, Obama likes to focus on blaming people instead of creating solutions. Meanwhile, unemployment continues to rise, illegal immigration continues to rise, and the White House sues states and opens criminal investigations.

So far in the 6 weeks of this oil spill, Obama has blamed Bush, blamed BP, banned off-shore drilling, opened a National Commission, and now a criminal investigation. Nothing to go tackle the issue, just investigate it and blame people for it. This is by far the worse, most incompetent administration in our nation's history. Let us pray that no one attacks America between now and January 20, 2013, otherwise the only retaliation would be an apology to the attackers and a criminal investigation to find out which one of us "right-wing-extremists" provoked the attack.

What's With All The Back-room Deals?!

Throughout his entire campaign, Barack Obama promised that his administration would have the most transparent government. In the 16 months of his presidency, it has turned out to be the most secretive and crooked administration America has ever seen. From shoving expensive, unwanted bills down our throats to the downright lies and broken promises, Obama and his team are proving to be the worst leaders ever. As discussed in the previous post (Washington, D.C. - Who Do They Really Serve?), these guys are no longer serving the people, but rather ignoring us and using our tax dollars to further their own agenda.

Every major bill that has been passed, especially Obamacare, has included back-room deals. When a Democrat or a RINO is voting against the Obama, Pelosi, and Reid establishment, they use everything from bribery to downright threats in order to persuade them to vote 'Yes'. In order to get their agenda forced down our throats, Pelosi and Reid spent dozens of hours with members of Congress in order to force them to go against the wishes of their constituents and change their votes. Outside of the walls of the Capitol, bribery and threats would be subject to legal ramifications.

As elected officials voted to serve the people, they should vote as the constituents wish them to vote, not how the top Democratic leaders want them to. Any member of Congress that accepts these back-room deals and especially those that are making the deals (as well as the threats) should be removed from their position and tried in court by a jury of their peers. And when I say peers, I don't mean their Democratic buddies that will say "Not Guilty" because of threats and bribes, but rather a group of everyday American citizens whose tax dollars help pay for these ridiculous back-room deals.

The corruption, the bribes, threats, lies, deception, and destruction has all got to go. Every single official that has been a part of the recent destruction of America and all the immoral acts needs to be voted out in the ongoing primaries the next few months and of course in November. Afterwards, they all need to be put on trial for treason. Washington has tread on us long enough. The time for it to end is now.

Washington, D.C. - Who Do They Really Serve?

For many decades, America has been on a steady decline. Starting out, it was quietly happening step by step until the point we are at now where it's becoming blatantly obvious. In the past two years, we have seen bill after bill and policy after policy come out of Washington that the vast majority of America disapproves of. The bailouts, the stimulus bills, Cap & Trade, and Obamacare, just to name a few, are simply designed to give more power to the government at our own expense. Outside of D.C., other policies and treaties are giving more and more control of America to outsiders. If none of this gets you angry, you are not understanding or simply not paying attention.

We the People created this government to serve and protect OUR rights, OUR borders, OUR freedoms. Today, we see them doing more for the banks than for the people. America is broke and in trillions of dollars of debt, yet Washington continues to ignore our demands to stop spending our money. They are essentially using a limit-less credit card to benefit a select few then taking payments straight out of OUR checks. With increasing amounts of taxes being taken from Americans, it is still not enough to even put a dent in the out-of-control spending coming from Washington.

If we are paying for bailouts of banks, giving money to special interest groups, and our representatives are ignoring our demands, this is a textbook example of taxation without representation. Sure we may have the appearance of representation, but its becoming blatantly obvious that these career politicians are not there to serve We the People. They are serving the bankers, Wall Street, and some other invisible empire. Their allegiance is not to us and to our Constitution. Their allegiance is to globalist organizations and the bankers that fund them. They fear these groups so much that they forget they should fear the American taxpayer payer even more.

Recently, the International Monetary Fund decided they were going to bail out Greece. Well, guess who just happens to be the largest payer into the IMF... America! So while Greece is running its country into the ground, us working Americans have to pay 17% of the cost to rescue them. Another recent development is the UN Small Arms Treaty that our Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton agreed to. If you visit the UN's website, they have an entire page dedicated to this called United Nations Office for DISARMAMENT Affairs. They are openly saying they want to disarm the people! Why is the government ignoring our Constitution and our People and obeying these globalist groups? Why is Obama the chair of the U.N. Security Council?

The United Nations, the Council of Foreign Relations, and Trilateral are headquartered in New York City. The International Monetary Fund is headquartered in Washington, D.C. Past and present Treasury Secretaries as well as Federal Reserve Chairmen and members have mostly been members of IMF and/or CFR. Past and present Presidents, Vice Presidents, State Secretaries, Defense Secretaries, CIA and FBI directors, Intelligence directors, Supreme Court Justices, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many other positions have been constantly filled by members of CFR, IMF, Trilateral, and Bilderberg. The list of government officials part of these groups go on and on. Why are they in America and why do they influence our politicians so much?

When Washington is flat out ignoring the people like they are today, one must question who they are truly working for. It would be safe to say they are not working for you and me. We need to make a change to this. We need to get these groups out of our sovereign nation and out of our daily lives. Too often, our only 2 choices at the ballot box are both members of these groups. They pretend to be different and beg for our votes, but their allegiance is elsewhere. Behind closed doors, they are best friends who are doing the bidding of their globalist groups.

Our votes need to go to people that will put the Constitution and the People above the many globalist groups. If our government is overrun with people from these groups, how can we expect them to work for us? There is enough of them in control these days that they openly ignore us and openly do what they feel is necessary to advance their agenda. Our President and leaders should follow their oath to the Constitution, not the U.N. or CFR. The only way to truly know a candidate won't put the interests of these groups above America and her people is to vote for those who are not part of these groups. Research your candidates, vote in the primaries to get true patriots on the November ballots, and educate others to do the same. Remove the career politicians who have been in Washington long enough to become corrupt and replace them with liberty lovers that can't be bought out. We must stop allowing America to be taken over by some invisible empire, before it's too late.

We Back Jack (And Ashleigh, Too)

Shortly after the Valdosta Town Hall Meeting on August 3rd, a young college girl named Ashleigh presented Jack Kingston with this shirt. For most of us liberty lovers, we would agree that the Constitution is indeed dead (or at least on its way to being buried). For those brainwashed liberals that don't see the Constitution being trampled on, disagreeing with Ashleigh and Rep. Kingston means time for malicious libel.

From rude, sexual remarks towards Ashleigh to claims that Kingston now hates the Constitution, liberal bloggers and their readers have been letting the two have it ever since the above photo was posted on Kingston's flickr account. If you disagree with the message, fine. If you don't think Jack should be posing with that shirt, fine. You can disagree and argue your points, but none of you have the right to attack Ashleigh in the way that you are. By resorting to the name-calling and the sexual remarks, you only make yourself appear stupid.

Suggesting that Rep. Kingston hates the Constitution also makes you appear stupid. If you honestly believe that the Constitution is "alive and well" today, then you are a fool. If you think a Congressmen and his constituent posing with a shirt that reads "R.I.P. The U.S. Constitution" makes either of them hate the Constitution, you are a fool. If anyone hates the Constitution, it's Obama and his team of socialists. Read the Constitution then tell me, Ashleigh, and Rep. Kingston with a straight face that it isn't dead (or at least not upheld by those that swear to do so).

South Georgia Freedom Fighters is in District 1 and we are proud to be represented by Kingston. We back Jack. And we back Ashleigh.

Liberal blogs attacking Ashleigh and Kingston:

http://www.oliverwillis.com/2009/08/04/gop-congressman-jack-kingston-poses-with-rip-us-constitution-t-shirt/

Ashleigh's response to the blogs linked above:

I realize that some controversy has resulted from the blog posting a picture of Congressman Kingston and me, where I presented him a t-shirt that said “R.I.P. The U.S. Constitution”

What those who seek to smear me don’t know, or take the time to find out, is that the back of the shirt is adorned with the words of President Ronald Reagan: “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.”

Perhaps one’s perception of the shirt depends on his or her perception of our Constitution. Personally, I believe it is a fundamental document that was written to insure that the government never became greater than the people. When I look at today’s society, the government’s control seems to increasingly outweigh the people’s. I cannot help but feel that the Constitution has been theoretically buried. This design isn’t meant to point fingers, it’s meant to stir an awareness of what we are losing. It’s about the power of the government increasing, while the power of the people decreases.

This shirt is not meant to stir debate regarding which administration did the most to slaughter our Constitution. While we cannot change the past, we do have the present in our hands, right now. This is where change begins.

I must say, in a time where political scandal consists of perjury, adultery, embezzlement…etc., to be caught standing next to a college kid accepting a pro-liberty t-shirt really doesn’t sound so bad. Maybe that’s just me

Well said, Ashleigh, well said.

Ray McBerry Speaking on States' Rights (video)

It's almost 10 minutes, I know, but it is worth it. It's a great speech about States' Rights and why John Oxendine (@johnoxendine) is not the right choice for Republican nominee as Oxe is not even a true conservative.

At one point in the video, Ray talks about when FEMA and DEA went to New Orleans disarming law-abiding citizens and said if any federal agents come to Georgia with intent to disarm anyone in the State of Georgia, he would arrest them. Based on John Oxendine's record of just being a sheep and staying within federal guidelines, never bringing any change to one of the nation's highest insurance tax rate, it's pretty safe to say that the Oxe does not have the backbone to stand up to Washington. I think we can rest assured that Ray McBerry will stand up for the People.

Goodbye NRA, Hello @GeorgiaCarry

After reading Billy's post about the NRA sending him a hat made in China, I decided to do what we all need to do. I left the national groupd that doesn't truly represent me and my values anymore and went with the more local group that knows values. Goodbye NRA, hello Georiga Carry!

I signed up online at GeorgiaCarry.org for $16 for a year membership. You can choose to add more of a donation to them, but it is not required. I will post photos when my card and information arrives. I look forward to my membership with Georgia Carry, and their upcoming GCO Annual Convention on Saturday, August 1 in Atlanta. There will be a Q&A Forum with various candidates including States' Rights candidate Ray McBerry!

Thank you, Billy, for bringing to our attention the disrespect by the NRA.

We The People

Sorry that it’s been a few days without posting anything, but I’ve been working and I finally have a day off and some free time, so I will be posting a few things throughout today, so keep up with us for today. It’s just pent up anger and nothing to do today to stop me from writing about it. Before I get to the things I planned to talk about, I wanted to talk about something a writer said in an article that I stumbled across. He said that he agreed with Ray McBerry on a lot of issues, but says he would never win. Well, that is how we have people like Obama, Congress, Purdue, and Governors all around the country in office. We never vote for the person that we agree with, we vote for who we think everyone else will vote for.

I have been seeing and hearing more and more people claim “I like him, but he would never win”. People need to stop voting for who we think will win and start voting for those that believe in the same values as we do. If we all stop saying “he won’t ever win” and say “I’m voting for what I believe in”, then we will quickly see Oxendine’s numbers drop while McBerry’s increase. We control our future. We can sit back and do nothing, or we can kick out these career politicians and get real people into our government. How can it be WE THE PEOPLE, if WE aren’t in there? It’s more like WE THE POLITICIANS, and it’s only more fuel to the fire for a new Revolution. Vote for liberty. Vote for freedom. Vote for values.

And if you’re reading this thinking we just need a different party, well look where that got America in a matter of months. We won’t ever “CHANGE” anything by voting a different party. The parties are not our parties anymore. They do not represent us anymore. We can change that by voting for new candidates who know what it’s like to be in the everyday position. Vote for candidates who know what the recession really feels like and is affected by unconstitutional bills, such as these bailouts and Cap-and-Trade. What do these career politicians with their hundreds of thousands (and sometimes millions) of dollars know what it’s really like to suffer through this economy.

Obama was not Change. McCain was not Change. For the fellow Georgians reading, Purdue was not Change. Oxendine is not Change. Handel is not Change. If you want Change, wipe the slate clean. Do not vote for any incumbents. Nominate new candidates that know our struggles and know what WE THE PEOPLE want. Obama, McCain, Purdue, Oxendine, and Handel… they are no longer part of the majority. Americans – Take back your Country. Georgians – Take back your State! In 2010, wipe the slate clean. Research the candidates and read into their issues and values. New party nominees in July 2010, and then vote them in less than 4 months later on November 2, 2010. Vote for Georgia First with Ray McBerry in 2010. Do not vote for any incumbent congressmen, senators, or governors that no longer represent WE THE PEOPLE.

If you want this Country to change, remove the incumbents and stay away from the career politicians. If you want this State to change, vote Ray McBerry and put Georgia First.

You decide who is for the people and who is for themselves.

John Oxendine has held public office since 1994 and has run FOUR statewide campaigns but he has yet to bring any kind of “Change” to the People of Georgia.

Oxendine – WE THE POLITICIANS

“Our day requires a governor who will dare to defy the federal bureaucrats and say plainly, “Get the hell out of our business; and leave my people alone.” No other candidate for governor will take this stand… I will.”

Ray McBerry – WE THE PEOPLE

No Longer for the People

I stumbled across a blog at on abcnews.com and was shocked at what I read...

With the clock running out on a new US-Russian arms treaty before the previous Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START, expires on December 5, a senior White House official said Sunday said that the difficulty of the task might mean temporarily bypassing the Senate’s constitutional role in ratifying treaties by enforcing certain aspects of a new deal on an executive levels and a “provisional basis” until the Senate ratifies the treaty.

And so it begins – a “temporary” bypassing of the Senate and of the Constitution, more specifically Article II, Section 2:

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur

Barack Hussein Obama, who the hell do you think you are? Does the Constitution mean nothing to you? Well, obviously not, but are you so bold that you are willing to blatantly violate the Constitution right in front of our eyes? What will you do next? Bypass the Senate to appoint your controversial judge? Ratify unconstitutional laws? Take away our right to bear arms like you wish to do so much?

I’m beginning to see astounding, frightening similarities between Obama giving into global demands and States giving into federal demands. While Obama is meeting with White House officials discussing the idea of bypassing the Senate, politicians across America are bypassing their People’s best interests and doing what the federal government says is best. Senators, Congressmen, and Governors are losing their backbone and no longer putting their State and their People first! They are giving into the Obamania and the rest of this out-of-control federal government.

What we see taking place in America today is what led to the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, the drafting of our Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Obama considering ignoring the Constitution by bypassing the Senate, Congress ignoring the People they are sworn to represent by passing the Cap-and-Trade, and Governors ignoring their respective State Constitutions by giving into the federal government’s demands are all fueling the fire. The same fire that our Founding Fathers used to heighten their anger, say enough is enough, and stand up to Despotism. If it doesn’t stop, we will make it stop!

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson let it be known that when the government stops being for the People, it is the People’s right and duty to throw off such government. If you (and by you I mean Obama, Senators, Congressmen, and Governors) do not start listening to your People, it will soon be too late. The term “Revolution is brewing” will no longer be taken lightly, and no one will be to blame but you. If you don’t want a Revolution, be for the People and uphold the Constitution. If you don’t think the American people are willing to fight back, just keep pushing, because our People can only be pushed so much before we push back – and we heavily outnumber you!

-Steven Wiggs, SGAFF

On a side note –

I’m pleased to see some are not afraid to stand for their People, even if it means standing up against the Obamania. In regards to the Cap-and-Trade, Congressmen Boehner has been a great voice for the People. In Texas, Governor Perry has openly supported HCR 50, a resolution affirming the State’s sovereignty.

For those that live in Georgia, one candidate for Governor in 2010, Ray McBerry, is assuring his People that he will stand up against the federal government and say enough is enough. While other candidates claim to support States’ Rights, only McBerry has spoken about it prior to this race. He has been an advocate of States’ Rights across the nation for the past decade – while others are simply jumping on the States’ Rights bandwagon. If you want to support a true believer in States’ Rights, our Constitution, and our Liberty, be sure to vote for Ray McBerry – the voice of the People.

“The constitutional Republic given us by our Founding Fathers is in great peril today at the hands of an out-of-control federal government; and our states are now the final guardians of our liberty. It is the privilege and duty of the governor to interpose himself between his people and the enemies of their liberty, even when that threat comes from a federal leviathan.” –Ray McBerry

The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms Shall NOT Be Infringed

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

You may have heard this before. It's in a document we call the Bill of Rights. It is the Second Amendment to a document we call the United States Constitution. Incase you have forgotten, these are two of the most important and sacred documents to this great country. Yet the liberals are slowly trying to take this right away. They are slowly trying to "infringe" our right to keep and bear arms, both on the federal and state levels.

As the Amendment clearly states, it is NECESSARY to the security of a FREE State! In other words, without a right to keep and bear arms, there is no way to promise a free State. Take a look at history; Hell, take a look at Iran in present day, and you will clearly see the truth of this. Any dictator knows that if you want to control your people and not fear a complete takeover from your people, you simply deny their right to keep and bear arms. Do you think Hitler would have been able to kill so many people if the people of Germany were armed? Do you think Ahmadinejad would be able to get away with a rigged election if the people of Iran were armed? Absolutely not!

I'm tired of hearing the same excuse as to why gun control is important -- to prevent criminals from having and using guns. That's like saying prohibition prevented alcoholics from having access to alcohol. It's like saying the war on drugs has prevented abusers from having access to drugs. Don't you get it, America? If someone is going to break the law, do you think they care what the laws are to begin with? The only people who abide by gun laws are law-abiding citizens -- not criminals. Strict gun laws would prevent the everyday citizen from protecting themselves from those criminals. Think about -- when is the last time a criminal has thought to himself, "man, I can't use this gun without first registering it and getting a permit"? Never. And it is foolish to think stricter gun laws will mean more compliance by criminals.

Back to history, and the true importance of the Second Amendment. In the early stages of the American Revolution, the British tried to take away the Colonists' rights to bear arms. They knew what was coming, and they wanted to prevent it. The Founding Fathers knew the true importance of this right and made sure to include it in the Bill of Rights. Not so the people could protect themselves from criminals, but so they could protect themselves from a government whose interests are oppressing and controling their people. In The Federalist, Alexander Hamilton pointed out that the people should not fear a federal government because they would be armed. Has our government lost sight of the true importance of the Second Amendment? Or maybe they know exactly what they're doing and they hope that the people are the ones who have lost sight of things. I think it's the latter, and America needs to wake up and realize this.

We need to stop voting for candidates who support gun control. We need to open our eyes and take this country back. We need to support candidates, like Ray McBerry, who haven't lost sight of the true importance of the Second Amendment (and the rest of the Constitution for that matter). If history is any indication, we are in the early stages of a dictatorship. However, this is America, and if America's history is any indication, a revolution is brewing. Whose side are you on?

"I adamantly oppose any effort to infringe upon the right of law-abiding people of Georgia to keep and bear arms and encourage public awareness of the principle that the best guarantee of liberty is a well-armed populace of good citizens." -Ray McBerry, 2010 Georgia Governor candidate

Introduction: Steven Wiggs

Hello and Happy Independence Day to all of my fellow Conservatives, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Georgians, and Americans.

My name is Steven Wiggs. I'm a Libertarian Conservative and I'm tired of this out-of-control federal government and the liberal media that supports it! I'm a photographer, I write, and I am part of the Ray McBerry for Georgia Governor 2010 campaign team. Ray is the only candidate that truly believes in and supports States' Rights and a small government.

I'm here to spread the word about Ray McBerry and what he stands for. I'm here to discuss our great state of Georgia and our great nation with a non-brainwashed point of view.

As Bill will be tagging his posts with BK, I will tag mine with SW.

Welcome to the truth! Enjoy it!

Georgia's Next Governor- Feat or Fiasco?

We have come to a dangerous place in American politics. The fallacy of “most electable” has been a media and marketing ploy to prop undesirable candidates up and garner support from an otherwise conservative populace. What happened nationally with McCain can very possibly happen in Georgia with Oxendine. Should the establishment Republican party perceive Oxendine as most electable, and set him up against Roy Barnes, we can anticipate a Democrat for Governor.

Under Obama, the advance of socialism has been rapid and appalling. The only way to reclaim the country is state by state. And the only way to reclaim the sovereignty of the state is by raising up for Governor a man who firmly attests to, believes in, and resolves to uphold the absolute right of state government to interpose on behalf of the life and liberty of the people. That man is Ray McBerry.

The Ray McBerry campaign is an onward march of optimism and hope. Ray believes in the people of Georgia, believes that Georgians are best able to care for themselves and their families, believes that Georgians own their lives and liberty, and believes that Georgians own their local governments on the county and state level.

The duties of civil government are restricted through our foundational documents the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. These important parameters for responsible moral government do not provide for the rights of the people, but instead limit the government from infringing upon the natural rights of the people.

All of the problems facing our state come down to the basic premise: do we own ourselves, or are we owned?

The fruit of our labors should be ours, yet we labor 6 months out of every year to cover the increasing and devastating burden of taxation. Property tax and income tax demonstrate a presumption by go vernment that it owns our wealth and owns the fruit of our labor. This presumption will stop under Ray McBerry.

The top-heavy bureaucracy of Georgia state government seeks to regulate and license every area of our lives and every area of the private business sector. This presumes that civil government bequeaths to the populace the privileges of existing within our state and building a way of life and way of making provision for our families. This presumption will stop under Ray McBerry.

With our nation in rapid decline, it is imperative that we rise up with a message of hope and confidence that rings true to the basic premise that we own ourselves and our property, that life and liberty are God given, and that the only duty of moral government is to protect individual life and liberty.

We must assert ourselves for the protection of Georgians. We must put into office Ray McBerry. A governor who recognizes as he wields the power of his office, appoints judges and important government positions, and influences the legislature, that his duty is to serve the individual life and liberty of each and every Georgian.

2010 Georgia Governor Candidate, Ray McBerry, announces "States' Rights Tour"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monday 29 June 2009


Gubernatorial Candidate RAY McBERRY Announces the Launch of the “States' Rights Tour” Across Georgia

Republican gubernatorial candidate Ray McBerry is pleased to announce the launch of the “States' Rights Tour” across Georgia beginning August 1, 2009 in Cherokee County. The tour will cover the entire state during the months of August through October.

States' Rights has recently been a topic much in the news as traditional conservatives across America look for a constitutional solution to an out-of-control federal government; and Ray McBerry has been one of the leading speakers across America on the subject of States' Rights for more than a decade. The theme of Ray's campaign for governor, from the beginning, has been “Georgia First!”

The subject of States' Rights took on a more prominent place in Georgia news in May when the state joined twenty-two other states in passing State Sovereignty resolutions in the Georgia State Senate under the authorship of Sen. Chip Pearson.

Recent attacks by Democratic gubernatorial candidates, including Roy Barnes, against the States' Rights stand taken by several Republican candidates have led off with Ray's photo and references to Ray's comments about the constitutionality of States' Rights under the Tenth Amendment. Responding to these attacks, Ray commented, “I have been speaking out on the need for the states to, once again, exercise their sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to rein in an out-of-control federal government in defense of the people's liberty. I am more than happy to be the 'point man' for States' Rights in this race for governor.”

The “States' Rights Tour” will be joined by State Insurance Commissioner candidate Gerry Purcell and a number of other statewide and local candidates and elected officials who have expressed their mutual support for the principle of States' Rights.

More information about the upcoming “States' Rights Tour” will be available shortly at www.GeorgiaFirst.org or by contacting Jenny Hodges, campaign director for Ray McBerry for Governor, at 404.435.8852.
