HB1013 | 04/Apr/2022 | Good: No | Yes |
Mental Health Parity Act
We Oppose. This legislation is a gross expansion of government and threatens our rights and liberties protected by the U.S. Constitution. This legislation has deep Marxist roots and unequivocally is just one more step closer to socialism.
Read More
HB1013 greatly expands government controlled mental healthcare. It hands unprecedented powers from people to the government, raises healthcare premiums, forces churches and other insurance providers to cover transgender surgeries, potentially creates a “red flag” type law to strip people of their 2nd amendment rights without due process, keeps pedophiles from going to jail, aligns mental health diagnoses with the WHO, and provides that someone could be locked up and be stripped of their rights against their will with nothing more than a reasonable belief that they could “potentially” need mental health treatment in the near future. The Georgia State House of Representatives passed H1013 on March 8, 2022 by a vote of 169 to 3. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation is a gross expansion of government and threatens our rights and liberties protected by the U.S. Constitution. This legislation has deep Marxist roots and unequivocally is just one more step closer to socialism. View vote details at legis.ga.gov/legislation/61365 |

HB1084 | 04/Apr/2022 | Good: Yes | Yes |
Protect Students First Act
We Support. This indoctrination is letting people believe that they can choose their pronouns and that they can be transgender. Scientifically and biblically, there are two genders. Taxpayers fund our schools and sports programs, and this includes the expense of teaching equity-based curriculum. This legislation ensures that taxpayer dollars will not be going to athletic programs that embrace the woke culture and that our schools will halt their divisive curriculum. This legislation is a good step in taking back our schools and protecting our kids.
Read More
HB1084 allows the Georgia High School Association to ban transgender students from participating in sports teams of the opposite gender. This bill also bans the teaching of certain racial ideas or concepts, especially those the likes of Critical Race Theory and any equity-based curriculum. The Georgia State House of Representatives passed HB1084 on April 4, 2022 by a vote of 98 to 71. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the left has been promoting radical Marxist ideas for years. This indoctrination is letting people believe that they can choose their pronouns and that they can be transgender. Scientifically and biblically, there are two genders. Taxpayers fund our schools and sports programs, and this includes the expense of teaching equity-based curriculum.

HB911 | 04/Apr/2022 | Good: No | Yes |
State Budget
We Oppose. This budget greatly expands the size of government and is aided by federal government support, which is not authorized under Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the US. Constitution.
Read More
HB911 enacts Georgia’s 2022-2023 fiscal year budget, spending a record $30.2 billion dollars, which is nearly an 11% increase from the previous year’s budget. The budget escalation is due to an increase in spending on public education, teacher raises, improvements to state’s healthcare system, pay raises for state employees, and capital construction projects. The Georgia State House of Representatives passed HB911 on April 4, 2022 by a vote of 160 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this budget greatly expands the size of government and is aided by federal government support, which is not authorized under Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the US. Constitution. View vote details at legis.ga.gov/legislation/61136 |

SB319 | 30/Mar/2022 | Good: Yes | Yes |
Constitutional Carry
We Support. The fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. The Constitution does not limit where a gun or firearm can or cannot be used.
Read More
SB319 removes the requirement that you must possess a permit when carrying a concealable weapon or firearm. This makes Georgia the 25th state to enact a permitless gun carrying law. The Georgia State House of Representatives passed SB319 on March 30, 2022 by a vote of 100 to 67. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. The Constitution does not limit where a gun or firearm can or cannot be used. View vote details at legis.ga.gov/legislation/60797 |

SB345 | 03/May/2022 | Good: Yes | Yes |
Vaccine Passport Ban
We Support. An individual’s personal health care decisions should not be the object of government, nor be under its federal, state, or local jurisdictions in the United States. Forcing an individual to produce their vaccination status would be a violation of their fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Read More
SB345 prohibits state and local governments from mandating vaccine passports, meaning this essentially bans COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The Georgia State House of Representatives passed SB345 on March 29, 2022 by a vote of 99 to 67. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because an individual’s personal health care decisions should not be the object of government, nor be under its federal, state, or local jurisdictions in the United States.

HB1178 | 04/Mar/2022 | Good: Yes | Yes |

Read More

The Georgia State House of Representatives passed HB1178 on March 4, 2022 by a vote of 98 to 68.

HB105 | 05/Aug/2020 | Good: No | Yes |
Public Transit Tax
We Oppose. HB105 Public Transit Tax (Passed 150 to 7 on 6/18/2020). Takes tax money from ride share transactions and puts it toward public transit projects around the state.
Read More
HB105 would take money taxed from any ride share services (Uber, Lyft, taxis, etc.) and put it toward public transit projects statewide. HB105 was passed in the Georgia State House of Representatives on March 12, 2020 by a vote of 150 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the nays because taxing private services in favor of public services is governmental overreach. Private services are better suited to handle the needs of citizens.

We have assigned pluses to the nays because many hate crime laws may infringe on the First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and expression. “Hate” is a difficult and subjective term that doesn’t mean the same thing to each person.

Additional Online Taxes
We Oppose. HB276 Additional Online Taxes (Passed 111 to 54 on 4/1/2020). Increases the amount of sales tax that consumers would be paying with regards to online purchases.
Read More
HB276 would increase the amount of sales tax that consumers would have to pay on online purchases. The Georgia State House of Representatives passed HB276 on April 1, 2020 by a vote of 111 to 54. We have assigned pluses to the nays as this bill only serves to increase the role of government in day-to-day life. Rather than increasing sales taxes, government must reduce both the tax burden for citizens and the size of government. View vote details at legis.ga.gov/legislation/54880 |

SB72 | 07/May/2019 | Good: Yes | Yes |
2nd Amendment for Hunting

Read More

The Georgia State House of Representatives passed in the house on April 2, 2019 by a vote of 105 to 61. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill is a win for gun rights and a step in the right direction. The right to own, possess, and carry a firearm is enshrined absolutely in the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. View vote details at legis.ga.gov/legislation/54694 |

HB321 | 25/Apr/2019 | Good: No | Yes |

Read More
HB321 would extend subsidy programs to low usage rural hospitals, and take money from the entire state to do so. The Georgia State House of Representatives passed HB321 on March 29, 2019 by a vote of 147 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the nays as government subsidies are unnecessary meddling. Taking money from taxpayers who would not use these hospitals constitutes theft. View vote details at legis.ga.gov/legislation/54996 |

HB221 | 02/May/2019 | Good: No | Yes |
Increase in Debt
We Oppose. HB221 Increase in Debt (Passed 164 to 6 on 2/5/2019). Increases the amount of debt that the state of Georgia can take on by $100 million, with minimal provisions on where it can be spent.
Read More
