Georgia Against Rick Perry

The Sticker — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 04:06:43 +0000

A few days ago, a local opinion poll conducted by Channel 2 Action News found that Georgia Republicans favor Rick Perry over Mitt Romney by a margin of 9 percent. In response to this news, one Georgia voter commented, “I’m not saying Gov. Perry is ethically challenged but if it should turn out he is, well, that’s just icing on the cake. I am, however, saying he’s an idiot.”

Another Georgia voter wrote, “Rick Perry is just another Bush…..he’s working on getting big $$$ from the bailed out banks.” Yet another said, “Rick Perry is an idiot and so are the Georgians who support him.”

The combination of the strength of support for Rick Perry among Republicans in Georgia and the strength of opposition to Rick Perry among Georgia voters in general points to a struggle over the political identity of Georgia. There are many who are seeking to bring Georgia forward into a future that embraces the rich culture and knowledge of the world, but there are others who are struggling to avoid any advance for Georgia, trying to keep Georgia tied to a brutal and ugly past.

As a result, a large number of Georgia voters are appalled by Rick Perry’s extremist politics. However, Rick Perry also has a strong following among zealous right wing Republicans in Georgia.

Show where you stand in this struggle. Put this bumper sticker on your car to show that many Georgia voters are opposed to Rick Perry – despite what the loudest portion of the Georgia Republican Party wants outsiders to believe.

I Want A Real Democrat, Not Sanford Bishop

The Sticker — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:38:00 +0000

U.S. Representative Sanford Bishop, of the 2nd congressional district in Georgia, is registered as a Democrat, but a lot of the time he votes more like a Republican. That’s because Congressman Bishop is a Blue Dog Democrat, a member of a right wing coalition that’s dedicated to fighting against progressive legislation on behalf of corporate interests.

Sanford Bishop consistently votes against the progressive values of his constituents, and in favor of the interests of corporate polluters. The Democrats of Georgia’s 2nd district deserve better – and it’s to them that this bumper sticker is designed to speak. Sanford Bishop? I want a real Democrat! – not a blue dog.

Finding Georgia Atheists

If you’re a non-religious person living in Georgia (and according to the American Religious Identification Survey, there are more people like you every year), you may be wondering where all the nontheists like yourself are hiding out. It can be difficult to find other non-believers, especially in a place like Georgia.

Here are some places to start:

If you’re in Atlanta, there are 2 freethought organizations for you: The Peachtree Freethinkers and the Atlanta Freethought Society.

Think Atheist also has a Georgia Atheist group online, and it looks like offline meetings are going to soon begin.

You also can attract other atheists in Georgia to you, by placing a Georgia atheist bumper sticker on the back of your car, and waiting to see just who the hook reels in.
