Electing progressives would transform Georgia
I’m writing to address Georgia “immigration.” No, I don’t mean the illegal immigrants from other countries but the legal immigrants who come to Georgia from states like New York, Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, etc.
Just for the record, I spend six months a year in New York and six months in Savannah. Weather is obviously a factor, but let me remind you of some the things that I have to continue to put up with in New York that you left behind when you became Georgia residents.
They include high taxes; high gas prices; billions in state budget deficits; crippling government regulations; sanctuary cities; massive welfare programs; severe restrictions on owning a firearm; abortion on demand up to the moment of birth, no bail required release for criminals; and in New York the inability to get a “Trusted Traveler” pass because the governor thinks it’s more important to protect illegal aliens than the people who elected him
As the saying goes, “stupid is as stupid does.” If you voted for progressive Democrats at your previous address, by all means do it in Georgia. it may take a couple of elections, but you’ll eventually get Georgia to look — and cost — like the place you left.
