How to get ready to vote this year

Busy voters need some time to do some research on the candidates up for election.  This year in Georgia, the primary election on May 20^th is critical. 

In the lead for the U.S. Senate race in Georgia is Paul Broun.  He is the one you want.  He won’t have the biggest campaign war chest. But, he will have the largest grass roots campaign.

You can bet, the candidates with the most money, got that money from folks who don’t care about the voters; they just want to purchase a Senator who won’t make a fuss. 

You don’t want a Senator who is owned by the Banksters. You want to have a large team of elected officials who will pull our economy back from the brink. The races for U.S. Congress are equally important. 

The State races are also critical. Most of the legislation coming out of the Gold Dome for decades has been self-dealing.  70% of the Bills have been to allow federal, city and county government excess and abuse to occur. Another 20% is to give special interest groups some extortion money. The last 10% of our bills have been to benefit just private sector citizens.  That ratio needs to change.

Georgia was ranked # 1 in government corruption this year. Partly due to the public school cheating scandals in Atlanta and DeKalb, but also due to the unprincipled stunts and self-dealing in the Gold Dome.

You need to see the scores from the voting records on electtherightcandidate.us, the Club for Growth, Heritage Action, Numbers USA and New American Freedom Index to find scores for incumbents. If their scores are low, vote for the best challenger. These websites were not as developed a few years ago and some are brand new.  There are others, but they don’t tend to be conservative organizations.

Remember, all candidates will claim to be conservatives. If they have a voting record, you need to find out what their score is.

We are in this economic mess, because not enough of us have taken the time to become informed voters and then make sure we vote.  If you’ve had enough of this economic sabotage, you need to make an informed vote in the May primary and November general election.
