There are websites where scores are given to rate each legislator’s votes. These include electtherightcandidate.us, a tough conservative website that includes scores for Georgia legislators. The Georgia Legislature isn’t really very Conservative, so these scores are low across the board. On this website, legislators who are principled Constitutional Conservatives score higher.

are: A - Patriot
2%, B Conservative 7%, C
Moderate 25%, D Replaceable RINO

they cater to these groups.
The State of Georgia is #1 in corruption according to the
Center for Public Integrity and remains there today. http://www.stateintegrity.org/georgia
The Georgia State Legislature operates in an insular way.
They are more interested in raising revenue from taxpayers and giving insider
business cronies and municipalities more access to local tax funds for “economic
development”.
Bad law entered Georgia with a vengeance in 2008 and the
anti-populist, top-down trend remains in force.Governor Deal signed these into law in 2013
SB 81: On May 6, 2013 Governor Deal signed
this bill into law. This bill destroys property rights. This bill
says that you cannot build your house if a Ginseng plant is on the site.
It says a farmer who harvests Ginseng must replant Ginseng rather than another
crop.
SB
24: On Feb. 13th,
Governor Deal signed this bill into law. This is a hospital bed tax that
was required for Georgia to obtain federal funding for Medicaid.
SB 97: On April 17, 2013, Governor Deal
signed this bill into law. This creates a Georgia beef commission.
HB 208: On May 6, 2013 Governor Deal signed
this bill that forced nursing homes to offer flu vaccines.
SB 212 & HB 354: Governor Deal signed these bills
that forced state control of local school systems.
Constitutional Conservative Challengers have entered the
Primary race and will be on the ballot May 20th 2014. They are in general agreement on the issues
with David Pennington, Dalton GA Mayor and candidate for the Governor’s
race. His positions are in stark
contrast with Nathan Deal’s actions as outlined below:
Pennington vs. DealDavid Pennington, Mayor of Dalton GA is running for Governor of Georgia against Gov. Nathan Deal. The article below from electtherightcandidate.us allows us to see their differences.
Governor Deal signed these into law in 2013
SB 81: On May 6, 2013 Governor Deal signed
this bill into law. This bill destroys property rights. This bill
says that you cannot build your house if a Ginseng plant is on the site.
It says a farmer who harvests Ginseng must replant Ginseng rather than another
crop.
Mayor Pennington said he would have vetoed this
bill. Ginseng is wonderful plant that should be protected on government
lands. He believes this law is counterproductive because it would cause
some property owners to secretly remove Ginseng plants on their land to protect
their property values.
SB
24: On Feb. 13th,
Governor Deal signed this bill into law. This is a hospital bed tax that
was required for Georgia to obtain federal funding for Medicaid.
Mayor Pennington said he would have vetoed this
bill. He said these federal monies come with strings attached,
which allow federal control and often increase costs more than are gained by
the federal monies. On a speech at a Carroll County public meeting he
said, the hospital bed tax was originally passed by the Perdue administration
as a temporary measure, but Deal got it renewed this year and sent it to an
unelected board, which has the power to increase it. “This is clearly
unconstitutional,” he said. “Any tax law has to start in the House and this one
was started in the Senate.”
SB 97: On April 17, 2013, Governor Deal
signed this bill into law. This creates a Georgia beef commission.
Mayor Pennington says that this increases the size of
government and like most government programs will expand in the future and
likely be used as an instrument of control. All of the duties of this
commission can be done voluntarily through the free market.
HB 208: On May 6, 2013 Governor Deal signed
this bill that forced nursing homes to offer flu vaccines.
David Pennington says he would have vetoed this
bill. It may be a good idea for nursing homes to offer flu vaccines but
it is not the role of government to force this upon the private sector.
It stifles innovation. Perhaps in the future a medication could do a
better job with less complications.
SB 212 & HB 354: Governor Deal signed these bills
that forced state control of local school systems.
David Pennington says he would have vetoed this bill. He
believes that these may be good ideas but local school boards should make the
decisions.
David Pennington says he would have vetoed this
bill. He said government ownership of private companies is
socialism. This bill is nothing more than crony capitalism at taxpayer
expense. Governments are notoriously bad at picking winners.
