Wineguy Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) PUBBY HERE. DIDN'T NOTICE THE POLL UNTIL TOO LATE. SORRY I HAD TO KILL IT BUT YOU USED THE 'PUBLIC POLL OPTION' WHICH DISCLOSES THE CHOICES THAT FOLKS MADE WITHOUT PROPER NOTIFICATION. I WILL SAY THAT THE VOTE WAS OVERWHELMINGLY IN FAVOR OF SUNDAY SALES - ABOUT 39 TO 2 - BUT HAVING ACCESS TO THE MEMBER NAMES OF SUPPORTERS WAS TO ME AN INVASION OF PRIVACY. SORRY, BUT I FROWN ON PUBLIC POLLS AND HAVE DONE THIS KIND OF MODERATION IN THE PAST. Its official. At 1:15pm today the Georgia senate voted down all ammendments to the Sunday Sales bill and passed the clean bill 32-22. Of note is that Bill Heath, Senator of North Paulding, opposed the bill on all counts, cried profusely at the podium about now we are going to see a huge increase in gay marriages and women being abused if this bill passes. Please remember this when he comes back up for re-election. Edited March 18, 2011 by PUBBY TO REMOVE THE PUBLIC POLL WITH ID OF VOTERS Link to post Share on other sites

surepip Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Did he mention women consuming too much alcohol on Sundays at home and then going out to find a piercing parlor so they could have their genitals pierced whilst intoxicated ? He tried to attach an "Anti-Women's [only] Genital Piercing Bill" several years ago. He attached it as an amendment to a good bill which would have made it a crime for parents [generally of certain African Ethnic Groups] to mutilate the genitals of young girls. Because of Heath's absurd amendment, the primary bill did not pass, and it is still legal in Georgia for a father or mother to surgically remove their daughter's clitoris.

lowrider Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Who votes these yahoos into office anyhow? And the likes of Bobby Franklin? I voted yes.

Wineguy Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 He cried? This is awesome news! So what happens now? When do we vote? I feel so liberated. Now it will go to the House where it is already slated for approval, then to Nathan Deal for signing into law (which he has vowed to do). After that it will become law. Then it is up to our local municipalities to create a ballot referendum to be voted on in the next election (or in a special election just for it if they want to). Then it will take effect whenever the referendum states it will become legal. We just have to make sure our local government knows that we want to vote on this, as well as making sure the supporters go to the poles for it. Generally the Church group of citizens make up a majority of voters, this as a whole does not bode well for the law, but if everyone that wants sunday sales votes, it will surely pass. And no worries, if it doesnt, I assure you Cobb County will be legal on sunday and we can give them the tax dollars if Paulding doesnt want it. Link to post Share on other sites

If you support something - or don't - you shouldn't be afraid to have your opinion on the matter out there. *However*, I will not be voting in your poll because your 'options' are so obviously slanted in favor of Sunday sales. They may be cute as a button, but they don't necessarily reflect the reasons why someone would vote yea or nay. Link to post Share on other sites

Mandytilf Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Yes there are mystical powers that can only be access on Sundays and through the copious consumption of alcohol that causes gays to get married, and women to get their genitals pierced. Be forewarned that purchasing your alcohol in advance of the ritual will not work. All parts of the ritual from purchase to piercing must be performed ON Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites
lotstodo Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Isn't today cross-over day? That was close. Is this why Bill Heath is crying? He has said that that $3 million in additional sales tax revenue is of no real consequence to him. I am constantly amazed by some so called fiscal conservative who put forcing their religious beliefs (or those of whom they suppose to be the majority of their core voting block) above the overall good of the public. It will not likely increase the number of children in broken homes or the number of beaten wives, because the true drunks in the state already know to buy beer on Saturday night and to buy their wife-beater t-shirts at Walmart. It will not statistically increase the number of DUI's over and above the increase in overall automobile traffic due to the increased number of stores being open. They could be McDonalds instead of liquor stores for that matter. Sonny's New Mexico study has long since been debunked as flawed. Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, I think if we want the choice to purchase on a Sunday something that is legal all the other days of the week, we are not afraid to have people know we support the chance to vote on it. I hope someone runs against Heath... better yet term limits need to be put in place so someone will run! It's tough to unseat incumbents when the money train to back them is bought and paid for in votes! Link to post Share on other sites
surepip Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Best resolution for getting rid of Heath would be to give Paulding its own State Senator based on our population now, and redraw Heath's district towards the west, and Hamricks to the North, and let Paulding have everything in the middle. However, I have been told our Local GOP wants everything to stay the way it is so they don't have to fight for a new candidate in a previous GOP stronghold, meaning we get to keep Heath and Hamrick, neither who live in Paulding or share in Paulding's problems and challenges. I wish the local GOP would stop and consider what is best for the citizens of Paulding instead of what is best for their control of the situation. Heath is beatable, but as we learned last November, Jesus Christ running as a Democrat in Paulding County could not get elected opposite Lucifer himself. So we got to find an honest Republican to run. Oxymoron ? Link to post Share on other sites
