It’s not Festivus exactly—we’re too charitable for that—but it is a petitioning of grievances because Brian Kemp is terrible at his job and thinks this entitles him to a promotion to governor next year. It does not. It entitles him to be fired. So that’s what we’re working to do.
Gross incompetence, voter suppression, hyperpartisanship (preety sure that’s a word)—-the list goes on. The horrible is strong in this one. I’ve written as much already.
Do we want this man to oversee an election that could catapult him into the governor’s mansion?
No. We do not.
Anyway, A Voice For All Georgia is having a party. It will be much more festive than Festivus. With activities and speakers and holiday cheer—especially if you bring donations to the Central Presbyterian Church’s homeless advocacy charities. Follow @AVoiceForAllGeorgia on Twitter for updates. Hey, follow me on Twitter —I give updates, too!
There’s a ton of great speakers, including cybersecurity expert Logan Lamb, who demonstrated how vulnerable Georgia’s voting system is, despite Kemp’s braggadocious claims.
My favorite is solar-powered candidate John Noel, who’s running statewide for a seat on the Public Service Commission against a pro-utility Republican who’s been insisting on saddling Georgia consumers with a $25 billion plus (and counting) nuclear power plant. Check out the this outstanding feature video about his house.
There’s also Jen Jordan, in a tight runoff battle between two Democrats to flip Georgia Senate District 40 — how cool is that?— and Bee Nguyen, a runoff contender in House District 89, Stacey Abrams’ old seat. Go to the end of the post for downoladablef the post
