Support Georgia's right to have a REAL vote on their state flag... The only vote issued did not include the flag that sparked all the controversay in the first place!.
In addition, only 6% of registered voters showed up at the polls, BECAUSE the real Georgia state flag wasn't included in the referendum!!
There is currently a bill that has just been filed with the Georgia State House to allow the real flag to be included in a statewide vote, as well as the current flag.
No matter your feeling on the flag personally... There SHOULD BE a vote on this state flag. After all it is the people of the state of georgia that the flag represents! Right is right, and the people should have a vote on their stolen state flag.
RINO governor (the liar) Perdue, who will be defeated in his re election attempt in 2006, has vowed that this bill will be killed in comittee.
Lets see that that doesn't happen:

Also check the January Lobbying Checklist update which is being updated tonight.
If you do not know what your new district number is or who your new Representative is after the elections and redistricting, check the January Lobbying checklist or visit the poll locator on the Secretary of State's web site.
Please call your Representative, especially if they are on the Governmental Affairs Committee and politely, just tell them that you want a FAIR Vote. You want them to support the FAIR Vote bill, HB15. If your Representative is on this committee also tell them that you would like for them to report HB15 out with a recommendation to pass in a timely manner.

Your very first post on this thread was rude and insulting.
I have stated that your position is motivated in part by cowardice or Yankee indoctrination...because I believe those things to be true.
That's rude and insulting, and unless you are a mind-reader, it's an unsupportable assumption.
I believe you are mistaking stridency and firmness of opinion for rudeness.
No, I'm not. It's rudeness, plain and simple.
I'm truly sorry to hear that. Losing your mother would be a very hard thing.
This thread is no longer usefull and I am finished talking in circles... further pings will not be responded to.
It was never useful.
and I am finished talking in circles...
At least you finally admit you make no sense.
further pings will not be responded to.
Promise? On your Southron honor?
Today in Iraq they had an election and there were more than 100 parties on the ballot. And we are supposed to be teaching them about democracy. By your argument, we should have only let them have two parties on their ballot. Maybe the Iraqis need to come over here and show us how to have a fair election. Why is what is good for the goose not good for the gander?
If you can't think of a way to provoke thought without insulting people, you don't have either the manners or the intellect you think you have.
Bingo.
I didn't.
You're not in Iraq.
Iraq has more important things to vote on than an insignificant piece of cloth.
The REALITY of the situation is that you will either get the Democrat or the Republican. End of story. Make your choice.
When the next governor of Georgia is either a Republican or a Democrat, I will say I told you so.
You gonna be voting in Georgia then?
By 2006, maybe.
I have absolutely no doubt that you are correct about that. But I am a long term thinker.
Look, Red. I have been visiting this thread off and on for a couple of days. The 1956 flag was a stab at equality of the races. It shouldn't be an option. I'm just like you when it comes to the Confederate Battle Flag as it pertains to the liberty of a people. But that 1956 flag is shameful.
It was a stab for States Rights. If you are OK with the Battle Flag, why is the '56 flag shameful? I'm certainly not ashamed of it. I'm ashamed the Governor and Legislature caved. I also ashamed that my fellow Georgians and Southerners have bought the big lie.
I clicked on ALL the names of the people on this thread that voiced an opinion.
Of those who have pride enough in their state to fly the flag of Georgia, the breakdown is as follows:
Those in favor of the current flag:
Little ray
Condiarmy
Republican Red
Sprite518
deaconjim
jakkknife
tatze
lugsoul
Juana la Loca
higgmeister
groanup
amelia
eddie willers.
Those in favor of the 1956 flag:
politicalmom
That's 13-1 of Georgians (who expressed an opinion) in favor of the new flag.
Now don't you feel just a little bit silly?
