“Having been a reluctant and active denizen of Georgia’s state Capitol since 2004, I can assure those who aren’t that the number one activity that gets the immediate and full attention of the elected officials there is an organized group of voters who actually drive to Atlanta and go into the Gold-Domed beehive during legislative session.
The number two most effective way to get their attention is to ring their telephones – this includes phones in the governor’s office, where the phone number is and has been 404-656-1776.”
What is more diverse than the presidential field of the Democrat Party? The board of the Dustin Inman Society – and any event we have ever done.
We wanted to wait until the crazies oozed out with their hate to post pics and more info on our Saturday event. We waited only two days! The anti-borders mob is having a cow!
We were hoping it would be Jim Galloway at the AJC who spread the slime first. As it happens, it was Media Matters with the SPLC lies and hate-mongering.

Remembering Kemp’s promises on illegal immigration
Gov. Brian Kemp has regularly boasted of his business-first approach to governing and enhancing the climate for corporate profit in Georgia. But the watchdog media has neglected to note the tradeoffs he has made or the trusting conservative voters he has betrayed by ignoring campaign promises.
Surprising few political insiders, illegal immigration seems to have dropped off of the governor’s radar since Election Day 2018.
The left-leaning Georgia Budget and Policy Institute says Georgia is home to more “undocumented workers” than green card holders. The federal Department of Homeland Security says we host more illegals than Arizona.
This, despite state laws passed nearly every year since 2006 to make Georgia inhospitable to illegal immigration. The regulations in place — including the state’s E-Verify laws — would serve the intended purpose if they were actually enforced — or even noted — by Gov. Kemp.
Georgians should realize most illegal immigration is a direct result of illegal employment and must be recognized as the organized crime that it is. Kemp is silent on the entire issue.
“Business friendly” is a term that is counter to “pro-enforcement” on immigration. Dalton conservatives have their own problems in that Republican state Sen. Chuck Payne has pledged his allegiance to the billionaire-funded, anti-enforcement group FWD.us that lobbies in Washington, D.C., and the state Capitol. Payne has described his work with the group as “a moral imperative and a political obligation to my constituents and the health of our country and economy,” according to Georgia Recorder.
Conservative voters who can remember back to the summer of 2018 may recall “Brian Kemp’s Track and Deport Plan,” an extremely detailed campaign promise aimed at illegal aliens who commit additional crimes. “As governor, conservative businessman Brian Kemp will create a comprehensive database to track criminal aliens in Georgia. He will also update Georgia law to streamline deportations from our jails and prisons” went the pledge. We challenge readers to find mention of any of this from the governor — or the Georgia media — since he was elected.
All this is yet another brilliant example of “silence is consent” and will continue until GOP voters find the courage to challenge the governor and the business lobby that has taken over the Gold Dome.
D.A. King
(King is president of the Georgia-based Dustin Inman Society, which advocates for immigration enforcement)
Jerry Gonzalez, Executive Director of the corporate-funded, anti-enforcement lobbyist group, GALEO, was quick to send out a media release praising the “historic” appointment and boasting that King had assisted the activist group as keynote speaker at a GALEO breakfast fundraiser several years ago.
“Congrats to Chief King, close friend of @GALEOorg !” was the much-repeated celebratory post on the GALEO Facebook page.

Perhaps unknown to most Republican voters, in addition to marching in the streets of Atlanta against enforcement of existing federal laws on immigration, GALEO and its director are well-known in the state Capitol for lobbying against state legislation aimed at reporting criminal aliens to federal authorities and establishing an official database of illegal aliens serving time in the state’s prison system.
GALEO lobbies against voter ID, official English and local jails honoring ICE detainers. Executive Director Gonzalez is known to verbally attack female legislators when he does not approve of speeches or positions on illegal immigration. In 2011, Gonzalez posted this angry explanation of being asked to leave the Georgia Capitol when he lashed out at state Senator Renee Unterman for a speech she made on the floor of the senate.

In 2011, GALEO’s Gonzalez was escorted out of a Rome, Georgia luncheon that featured a panel discussion on immigration when he began yelling at diminutive state Rep Katie Dempsey as reported by the Rome News Tribune.
The governor’s office phone number is 404-656-1776.
*They do not seem to have voicemail after business hours/weekends right now.
GALEO’s Dax Lopez was previously nominated by Barack Obama for a lifetime term on the federal District Court in Georgia, but because of his association with the radical, leftist GALEO, that confirmation was stopped by Georgia’s U.S. senators in 2016, with Sen. David Perdue taking the lead. You can read about that here and here.
Both times, many state legislators and elected officials, including Georgia sheriffs, sent letters of opposition to Washington and the governor’s office. We at DIS were happy and proud to organize the fight both times. You can read all about it here and here.
Republican Governor Kemp needs to hear from Republican voters on promoting GALEO’s Dax Lopez. Do you want a former GALEO board member as a Superior Court judge in a state with more illegal aliens than Arizona?
After he was rejected by the U.S. Senate for federal court, will Gov. Kemp really promote GALEO’s Dax Lopez? Is this what Republicans elected Governor Brian Kemp to do concerning our courts?
Nominees are now on Gov. Brian Kemp’s desk to fill vacancies in the Coweta, Macon and Stone Mountain Judicial Circuit Superior Courts. They could become some of the governor’s first judicial appointments since taking office in January…
For the Stone Mountain Judicial Circuit:
Dax E. Lopez, judge, State Court of DeKalb County
Stacey K. Hydrick, judge, State Court of DeKalb County

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.
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.
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 an official English ballot question when she was in the legislature.
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:
“Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to provide that English is the official language of the State of Georgia?”
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.”
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.

According to the AJC, Stacey Abrams has announced her intent to oppose allowing Georgia voters to decide on a ballot question to amend the state constitution to make English the official language of Georgia government and was active in that opposition when she was in the General Assembly.
AJC: “The event at Plaza Fiesta, a mall largely populated with Latino-owned businesses, was a meet-and-greet pegged to Hispanic Heritage Month, which began Sept. 15. Abrams enumerated her proposed policies that touch Hispanic and immigrant communities, from preventing wage theft to opposing a state constitutional amendment making English the official language of Georgia, a bill she fought as a freshman state representative.” Here.
FYI, In 2016 SR 675 passed the Georgia senate with every Republican member voting “YEA.” It was not allowed a vote on the House floor.
That Resolution created the ballot question:
” 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.”
FYI – There is a statute in place that makes English the official language, but 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.”
A 2015 Rostta Stone poll shows a 76% percent approval from Georgia voters on constitutional official English.
—> Question for candidate Kemp: 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 (11) foreign languages? If so, will you use the power of the governor’s office to promote that cause for the 2020 election?
I will be writing the story this evening and will include any response or notation of lack thereof from the Kemp campaign.
