Brian Kemp silent on allowing voters to decide on official English

Pro-English voters should ask questions 

A December 2015 Rosetta Stone poll showed that a bipartisan 76% of Georgians support making English Georgia’s constitutional official language. The idea is English as official, not “English only” as goes the portrayal by dishonest opponents.

Policy differences for candidates in the race for Georgia governor may not extend to allowing Georgia voters to decide if the state constitution should be amended to make English the official language of government.

According to an AJC report last week, Democrat candidate Stacey Abrams promised to oppose constitutional official English in the General Assembly as governor and boasted of fighting against allowing voters to answer a ballot question when she was in the legislature.

We thought it surprising that the AJC did not include a quote or position from Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp on the voter-popular issue, so last Wednesday we sent a policy question and request for a quote to the Kemp campaign.

 “Do you support allowing Georgia voters to decide on a ballot question that would amend the state constitution to make English the official language of Georgia government and which would end current practice of offering the written road rules portion of the DDS drivers license exam in (eleven) foreign languages?

 If so, will you use the power of the governor’s office to promote that cause for the 2020 election?”

 A week later, we have not received a response from candidate Kemp. Maybe curious voters will ask him.

All concerned should be aware that Georgia has a 1996 statute in place that makes English the official language, but it also says officials can ignore that directive:

“State agencies, counties, municipal corporations, and political subdivisions of this state are authorized to use or to print official documents and forms in languages other than the official language, at the discretion of their governing authorities.”

The concept of allowing voters to have a voice on the matter is quite popular in the Georgia senate. Introduced by state Senator Josh McKoon, in 2016 SR 675  passed the Georgia senate with every Republican member voting “YEA.” It was not allowed a vote on the House floor.

McKoon’s Resolution created a ballot question voters would have considered that year which read:

“Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to provide that English is the official language of the State of Georgia?”

 All persons desiring to vote in favor of ratifying the proposed amendment shall vote “Yes.”

 All persons desiring to vote against ratifying the proposed amendment shall vote “No.” 

 If such amendment shall be ratified as provided in said Paragraph of the Constitution, it shall become a part of the Constitution of this state.”

 Most conservatives would like to have the chance to answer that question in November, 2020.

 Readers who are not closely involved in Gold Dome politics are likely asking why they have not already been permitted to vote on making official English part of the state constitution. It helps to know that the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce are vehemently opposed to that idea.

It may also help to know that in metro-Atlanta’s DeKalb School District alone, administrators are dealing with students from 180 different countries who speak 140 different languages.

Without a constitutional mandate that English is the official language of government, readers can make their own predictions on how long it is before the angry marches in the streets begin with the demand that government in Georgia accommodate every imaginable language with the cry that “diversity is our strength.”

It seems like something a Republican candidate for Georgia governor would comment on. Comprende?

What is Republican Brian Kemp’s position on allowing voters to decide on official English?

Candidate policy differences in the race for Georgia governor may not extend to allowing Georgia voters to decide if the state constitution should be amended to make English the official language of government.

It is surprising that there doesn’t seem to be a quote or position from Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp on the voter-popular issue.

All concerned should be aware that Georgia has a 1996 statute in place that makes English the official language, but also says officials can ignore that directive. So, they do exactly that.

Introduced by state Senator Josh McKoon, in 2016 SR 675 passed the Georgia senate with every Republican member voting “YEA.” It was not allowed a vote on the House floor. McKoon’s Resolution created a ballot question voters would have considered that year which read:

Before you read on: Please know that the DeKalb County School system alone deals with 140 languages and that it is merely a matter of time before the crazies demand that we operate our government in any and all languages. There are about 7000 languages in the world. DDS already offers the written road rules exam in 11 foreign languages.

Below is a short audio of a recent local TV show (GPTV Lawmakers) focused on the state legislature and pending legislation. One senate Resolution (SR587) is being hammered by the liberals because it would allow voters to decide on making English the official constitutional language of Georgia government. Too unifying.

Out takes of the Resolution (SR587) below.

We recommend voters discard the intentionally false anti-English labels used by the media to describe this legislation. The game is to call it “English only” – trusting that you will never understand that if passed and then approved by we the people in November, important safeguards would be put in place IN THE CONSTITUTION for non-English speakers. Again, SR587 (Sen. Josh McKoon and 30-ish cosponsors) is an effort to allow voters to decide on English as the official language of government, not on “English only.”

The liberal media must resort to false labels because polling shows the concept of constitutional official English has the bipartisian support of 76% of Georgians. 

Scott Slade is only one of many in the Georgia media who use the inaccurate description. It is a staple of the Associated Press. WSB-TV libs are shameless in this. The liberal AJC too.

—

Do you want to be allowed to vote on this question?

Line 80:  “( ) YES Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to provide that English

Line 81  ( ) NO is the official language of the State of Georgia?”

–> Audio: Turn up the volume.

In which Scott Slade uses the false description invented by the anti-English lobby on SR587, which would allow Georgia voters to decide on amending the state constitution to make English the official language of government and put clear protections into the constitution for non-English speakers. He is speaking to a very liberal rookie legislator, Bee Nguyen, who clearly does not want you to be able to vote on the question.

“…tell us how you feel about the English only legislation…” (here)

English as official language Photo: Red Alert politics

Three Ga. U.S. House members co-sponsor official English bill

D.A.King

There are still a large number of Americans who are not aware that the United States has no official language. We don’t.

That can be changed– and logic says it should be an easy task with a Republican-controlled Congress and White House. We’ll see.

Introduced by U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, HR 997, the English Unity Act of 2017 establishes English as the official language of the United States. It requires that naturalization ceremonies and official functions of the U.S. government, subject to exceptions, to be conducted in English. And the bill declares that all citizens should be able to read and understand generally the English language text of U.S. laws.

The official English bill currently has 43 House co-sponsors, but only three from Georgia: Reps. Barry Loudermilk, Jody Hice and Doug Collins. (Sen. Johnny Isakson is a co-sponsor of companion legislation S. 678 in the Senate.)

One can’t help but wonder what reasons any lawmaker would have for not supporting English as our official language. More than 50 other countries make English their own official language. Also, an August 2014 Rasmussen poll found that 83% of Americans support making English the official language of the United States.

Here is the contact info for the Georgia delegation. In fact, InsiderAdvantage encourages readers of this column to provide feedback after checking with their own congressman and letting us hear the reasoning behind not signing on to help passage of this official English bill.

Also, a warning: Critics of the concept of a nationally unifying language – and there are many – will try to redefine official English as “English only” which is an intentional falsehood and misrepresentation of the legislation. These radical anti-English activists regard official English as “anti-immigrant.”

The goal of King’s legislation is to have a federal government that operates in English whenever possible, with clear exceptions to aid non-English speakers when necessary.

Georgians who want more information on official English, the many negatives of bi-lingual education and tips on how to take action on convincing their congressman to help should see the website of the highly respected ProEnglish group in Washington, D.C.

There is also an interesting comparison of priorities and interests on the part of House lawmakers. More than 200 representatives have quietly signed on to an immigration amnesty bill that sees nearly zero exposure in the media.

“Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., introduced the ENLIST Act, H.R. 60, that would give illegal aliens who meet certain requirements Legal Permanent Residence (LPR) status if they join the U.S. military. Denham first introduced the ENLIST Act in 2013” says NumbersUSA on its website.

Check out the co-sponsors. Two of the co-signers on this amnesty bill are Georgia congressmen.

KEMP UNVEILS FIRST OF FOUR NEW MULTI-LANGUAGE ELECTION VIDEOS

ATLANTA, GA – Today Secretary of State Brian Kemp unveiled the first of four new video tutorials in English, Hindi, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and Vietnamese on voter registration, absentee voting by mail, advance in-person voting, and Election Day voting. Kemp encourages Georgians to take advantage of these tutorials with only seven days left until the voter registration deadline and absentee voting by mail already underway for the November General Election.

“I want every eligible Georgian to have the information they need to take part in the electoral process,” stated Secretary Kemp. “These new resources will help voters who are non-English speakers know how to register to vote and prepare to cast their ballot.”

Secretary Kemp initiated this project to ensure every Georgian is informed on Election Day. Individuals can view the voter registration tutorials by visiting Secretary Kemp’s YouTube channel or the Elections Division’s website. All four tutorials will be available to Georgians by week’s end. Kemp will also work with minority advocacy groups to promote the videos in various communities across the state.

“In the Secretary of State’s office, we are dedicated to ensuring every Georgian has the opportunity to register to vote and allow their voice to be heard at the polls,” said Kemp.

Several important dates are fast approaching for eligible Georgian citizens who want to vote in the General Election on November 8, 2016.

The deadline to register to vote or update voter information is October 11, 2016. Georgia citizens can submit an electronic voter registration application using their Georgia driver’s license number or state-issued identification card number on several platforms: Online Voter Registration (OLVR), the free “GA SOS” mobile app for Apple and Android devices, and the recently announced “2VOTE” text messaging pilot project. Individuals can also mail in hard-copy voter registration applications to their county registrar to register to vote by the deadline.

“It has never been easier to register to vote in our state,” said Kemp. “For the first time in Georgia, voters can register to vote or update their information online, via text, or by using the office’s smartphone app.”

By October 11, voters should verify their voting information and, if necessary, update their record. The “My Voter Page” is a great resource to check your voter status, update your personal record, and view individualized voting information to prepare for November.

Absentee voting by mail began on September 20. As of today, 14,729 mail-in absentee ballots have been cast for races on the ballot this November. Advance in-person voting begins on October 17. Georgia law also requires the polls to be open on Saturday, October 29 in all 159 counties for Georgians to vote in the November contests.

In-person voting occurs on electronic voting equipment in Georgia. If you wish to cast a paper ballot, you must request an absentee ballot by November 4.

Georgia is not a “covered jurisdiction” under the federal Voting Rights Act to offer election information in other languages. Ballots and related election materials are printed in English.

Currently, there are over 6.5 million registered voters in the Peach State.

Brian Kemp has been Secretary of State since January 2010. Among the office’s wide-ranging responsibilities, the Secretary of State is charged with conducting secure, accessible, and fair elections, the registration of corporations, and the regulation of securities, charities, and professional license holders.

D.A. KING:

Georgia conservatives lose again under Gold Dome

“Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to provide that English is the official language of the state of Georgia?” — Proposed statewide ballot question for the November election contained in SR675 sponsored by Republican Sen. Josh McKoon.

As a late note on the end of the 2015-16 General Assembly, here are more examples of Gold Dome reality for people who don’t know how their government really works — and some observations.

Despite a December Rosetta Stone Communications poll showing a whopping 76 percent bipartisan public approval rate for amending the state constitution to make English the official language of government, Georgia voters will not be allowed to answer the above ballot question in November.

Unless there is a badly needed executive order from Gov. Nathan Deal changing current policy at DDS, Georgia will continue to give illegal aliens, foreign diplomats and Mercedes Benz executives here on a legal visas the exact same driver’s license.

McKoon’s SB6 would have created a new, vertically-oriented driving card for the illegal aliens with Obama’s deferred action on deportation amnesty and would have clearly displayed their illegal status. That would have made it more difficult for illegal victims of borders to board airliners, rent vehicles, enter federal buildings and register to vote.

Now that the doubt has again been removed on where Gov. Deal and corporate Georgia (sorry for the repetition) stand on religious liberty legislation, readers should take an interest in why and how SR675 and SB6 were defeated in a Republican-ruled state.

Both bills passed the GOP state senate. All 39 Senate Republicans voted to let voters decide on the official English Resolution. Only one GOP senator voted against the bill improving the security on driver’s licenses for illegal aliens. That was restaurant owner Sen. Tommie Williams of South Georgia. Williams told the Senate he wanted to protect his illegal alien sous chef.

Nevertheless, both bills are as dead as Poncho Villa. They expired in the Republican-majority Georgia House controlled by Speaker David Ralston because of Ralston’s personal animosity for the bill’s sponsor and because of orders from the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. The legislation had all the usual enemies.

In a post legislative session sigh-of-relief editorial, the AJC Editorial Board dismissed the majority desire of the great-unwashed Georgia electorate on official English with “lawmakers rightly stalled other symbolic nose-thumbing at the status quo, such as bills that would have made English the official language…”

Further out on the left, the triumphant, corporate-funded illegal alien lobby is also still rejoicing. “The failure of the anti-immigrant measures was a step forward in the search for equal rights for everyone in Georgia,” says Adelina Nicholls, executive director of the anti-borders Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights.

Got that? Allowing American voters to decide on English as the constitutional official language of government and noting on their driver’s licenses that illegal aliens are illegal aliens is “anti-immigrant.” Nichols gleeful remark should be regarded as an answer to the question “how un-American are they?”

We note here that Nichols is an avowed Socialist — and that even when the Democrats controlled the state Capitol, illegal aliens could not legally obtain a Georgia driver’s license. We also note — again — that when the tribalist open borders organizers speak of “equal rights for everyone,” they are aiming directly at the end of immigration enforcement and voting rights for illegal aliens.

Republicans may want to ask Gov. Deal if it is somehow “best in the overall interest of the state of Georgia and its citizens as a whole” to give illegal aliens any type of driver’s licenses. And the governor’s staff needs to do a much better job of prepping him on driver’s licenses for illegal aliens and Obama’s executive amnesty. On archived video, Deal can be seen and heard telling a Telemundo reporter last month that “we verified the legal status” associated with the Georgia driver’s licenses, including those now belonging to illegal aliens. Reminder to all concerned, according to immigration law and the Obama White House, deferred action on deportation does not provide legal status.

Many Republican county and district conventions last year saw passage of resolutions supporting a ballot question on constitutional official English and ending the practice of rewarding any illegals with any Georgia driver’s license. The driver’s license resolution also passed at the Republican state convention. This was due to the courage and hard work of common sense, grassroots conservative activists in Georgia’s Republican party.

For Georgia conservatives, the failure of SR675 and SB6 to pass the GOP-controlled legislature should serve as obvious indicators of badly needed change.

Reconsideration Vote Needed on English bill

by Dahlys Hamilton | Mar 13, 2016

SR 675, the official English-In-Government constitutional amendment, passed the full state Senate in February with all Republicans voting “yes.” However, pro-English Georgians have been cheated out of the choice to vote on this constitutional amendment on the November ballot. We have been betrayed by state House Judiciary Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Johnnie Caldwell and his boss, House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Wendell Willard– both Republicans.
Last week, Sen. Josh McKoon presented SR 675 to the Republican-controlled Judiciary subcommittee–and they killed it. The House Judiciary subcommittee meeting that day was comprised of four anti-English Democrats and only two Republicans, one of whom was the chairman — Caldwell. Four Republican committee members failed to show up. The legislation was quietly defeated by a 4-2 vote. (Editor’s note: GOP Rep. Barry Fleming voted yes and tells InsiderAdvantage he wants a new vote to reconsider.)

GOP Rep Johnnie Caldwell, from Thomaston

A recent poll that shows 76% of Georgians are in favor of English as the official language of government in our state. If we cannot turn this around, we will be denied the right to vote on amending the state constitution to make English Georgia’s official language of government when we vote in the general election. The Republican-controlled House Judiciary subcommittee let the anti-English Democrats do the Chamber of Commerce-directed dirty work and intentionally stopped SR 675.

GOP Rep. Wendell Willard of Sandy Springs

Anyone familiar with the basic workings of the Gold Dome committee process can see that Republican Chairman Caldwell would only call a vote with that ratio of Democrats to Republicans if the intention was to kill the bill.
If enough pro-English Georgians call and write the members of the subcommittee, asking for a reconsideration vote, we may be able to save it; otherwise, it will remain dead.

HERE

UPDATE: The Republican-controlled state House never brought SR 675 up again. Led by Rep. Wendell Willard and Johnnie Caldwell, they killed the chance to vote on amending the state constitution to make English our official language of government. We will try again next year.

GEORGIA: Rep. Wendell Willard-directed sub-committee kills official English legislation under the Gold Dome today

• SR 675 likely dead forever – BUT: a chance for re-consideration if pro-English conservatives focus, unite and take action ASAP
•  ACTION NEEDED for possible SR 675 reconsideration

 Leave a message with these Republican legislator’s staff that we want a reconsideration vote on SR 675!

The corporate-funded illegal alien, anti-English lobby was there and is laughing at you. See photo at bottom of this post.

 

Despite a poll that shows 76% of Georgians in favor, you probably won’t be allowed to vote on amending the state constitution to make English Georgia’s official language of government when you vote for president in November. About 4:00 PM today, a Republican-controlled House Judiciary sub-committee let the anti-English Democrats do the Chamber of Commerce-directed dirty work and intentionally stopped SR 675.

Make no mistake: The leader of this little scheme is Republican state Rep Wendell Willard, with able assistance from sub-committee Chairman, Republican Rep Johnnie Caldwell and the Republican members of the sub-committee that did not show up for the hearing on SR 675. I was there.

You need to know that there was no requirement for a vote today. The Chairman has complete power to decide if there is a vote. As Chairman, if you want a bill to pass out of committee, you don’t call for a vote unless you are certain you have the needed votes in the room.

You should also remember that SR 675 passed the state Senate on February 29 by a 2/3rds majority.

For the people who wonder why Republicans are voting for Donald Trump…

The Chamber of Commerce-Republican parliamentary scheme for the death of SR675 and our chance to vote on official English in November goes like this:

As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee – Rep Wendell Willard (R) – appoint a “yes man” as one of your sub-committee Chairmen – Rep Johnnie Caldwell (R).

Have Caldwell hold a hearing on Senate Resolution 675 in which there are four (4) Democrats and two (2) Republicans present because you “suggested” that the GOP members stay away on “other business.”

Take quick testimony from the usual suspects in the illegal alien, anti-English lobby and then as sub-Committee Chairman, look around the room, insure that there are not enough GOP votes to pass out the legislation, and then make it clear that you are ready for a vote. Let the four Dems kill the Republican Resolution, and walk away with a grin. “The Democrats did it…”

The goal was to kill the legislation.

By the House rules any member of the sub-Committee can ask for reconsideration and perhaps get another vote when the Republican members show up. HERO ALERT: Rep Barry Fleming did attend today and is willing to request a do-over. WE MUST BE QUICK.

ACTION NEEDED: Leave a message with these Republican legislator’s staff that we want a reconsideration vote on SR 675!

Call and email the offices of Judiciary Chairman Wendell Willard, subcommittee Chairman Johnnie Caldwell and the offices of the Republican members of the Caldwell sub-committee who styed away on “other business” so the Dems could kill the bill when Caldwell took a vote. The below list shows the sub-committee membership and has the contact info for the Reps who need to be the focus of your opinion. Please see the red “CONTACT” note for the GOP legislators that should hear from We The People.

Shorter: How to intentionally kill SR 675, official English legislation.

Arrange for a committee meeting with two Republicans vs. four Democrats in a Republican-controlled General Assembly, a Republican-controlled House of Representatives, a Republican-controlled Judiciary Committee and a Republican-controlled Judiciary sub-committee:

GALEO, Asian-American victims of language, Latin American Association, and the usual Capitol America-haters laughing after Republicans killed official bill today.

Led by the corporate-funded GALEO, activist, anti-English groups in Georgia are threatening a federal lawsuit against at least two Georgia counties if November ballots are not printed in a foreign language.

GALEO has been active in pushing for Spanish language ballots for at least two years and lobbies in the Georgia Capitol against English as Georgia’s official language. A 1996 law designates English as the state’s official language, but many government services are still provided in multiple foreign languages. The written exam for a Georgia drivers license is offered in eleven languages.

“No county in Georgia offers ballots or voting materials in a language other than English. But the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials (GALEO) and New York-based Latino Justice have asked Gwinnett and Hall counties to provide Spanish ballots, voter guides, poll workers and website information, citing a provision of the federal Voting Rights Act” reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

A recently resigned GALEO board member and one-time treasurer and fund-raiser, Dax Lopez, 

has been nominated for a federal judgeship in Georgia. Neither of Georgia’s Republican senators have announced their decision on allowing the nomination to move forward.

The Atlanta NPR affiliate, WABE News reports

“The organization’s (GALEO) executive director, Jerry Gonzalez, has written to Gwinnett and Hall counties, both with large Spanish-speaking communities, asking that bilingual voting materials be provided.

“We have had to provide, at our own expense, language access to voters. However, it is the county’s responsibility to do that,” Gonzalez said.

His organization is pointing to a provision in the Voting Rights Act that guarantees bilingual voting materials for Puerto Ricans.

GALEO executive director, “Angry Jerry” Gonzalez

The AJC also reports that GALEO’s executive director has threatened a lawsuit if Hall and Gwinnett counties do not cede to the demands.

If GALEO and other groups pushing for foreign language ballots were to file a lawsuit against the Georgia county governments the case would go to the Northern District federal court where GALEO’s former board member Lopez has been nominated to serve as judge.

We cannot find Georgia media reports of this potential conflict.

Breitbart is covering the on the Lopez nomination controversy in Georgia….
