Admittedly I haven’t paid full attention to Session over the last few weeks (or months, actually) but one bill, House Bill 280, has justifiably caught statewide attention. House Bill 280 is Campus Carry. As you may recall, Governor Deal vetoed Campus Carry last year citing concerns that the legislation was too broad. Campus Carry is
As was mentioned on social media yesterday, we have had multiple requests asking if Jon’s celebration of life service will be livestreamed. While that is a bit unusual, Jon was a pioneer in the making social media sociable. As such, it will. At 7PM we will post the feed here. The broadcast will begin about 7:20,
Georgia House Judiciary committee member Rep. Ed Setzler (R-Acworth) had his constitutional hackles raised high during a Georgia House committee hearing last week on Senate Bill 1, which proposed a new domestic terrorism law. “It’s not the right to ‘lawful’ assembly, it’s the right to assembly,” he said to the bill’s author, Sen.

Trump has already proved himself more mendacious than a Clinton. Truly a remarkable accomplishment. “Outside of a Small Circle of Friends” by Phil Ochs.
