LET ME BE CLEAR: WE ARE NOW BEING OPPOSED BY SENATE REPUBLICANS WHO ALLOW UNRECORDED VOTES ON AMENDMENTS THAT GUT HB 87

A gutted version of HB 87 passed the senate last night. This is not the great news we wanted. AP news story HERE

I am off, back down to the Capitol. I have no time to write up what happened in the Georgia Senate last night, other that what I put up late last night. It was very ugly. And sickening.

You now need to call your own state Senator ASAP to tell him to vote YES on the coming House challenge/response to the mess created by the senate on HB 87 last night. I am told the House will not agree to the Senate gutted bill.

When you contact your state Senator, your must also ask these questions:

“How did you vote on the amendments offered to HB 87 last night, and WHY did you not use your privilege under senate rules to demand the Republican Lt. Governor use the machine to record YEAS and NAYS on the amendments?”

“How does a freshman Democrat Senator get an amendment that guts enforcement passed in a Republican controlled senate…in an unrecorded vote?”

Many Republican senators should get used to the term ” primary opposition”. Ask me later which senators didn’t vote at all and were playing solitaire on their IPAD and posting on facebook… but not voting.

More later, PLEASE CALL YOUR STATE SENATOR NOW WITH THESE QUESTIONS. IT WILL HELP US GET A BETTER BILL PASSED
