Are you guys aware of the callous, illegal policies of the incumbant Republican, Sonny Perdue? He declared a "state of emergency" in six GA counties during the G-8 Summit so that law enforcement could clamp down on protesters. He's begun goading the human resources department to give our tax money to churches and "faith-based" groups, even though our constitution explicitly prohibits that funding. He no longer wanted the state to fund GA's medicaid program, so he convinced the legislature to tax the estates of medicaid recipients (taxing the desperately poor? This alone makes Perdue our worst governor since Lester Maddox). He's also championed the gutting of funding for GA's school systems, thereby placing an ever increasing burden on local communities to make up the difference. He jumped on board "traditional values" bandwagon supporting the marriage amendment, even though his daughter was having an extra-marital affair and ended up getting divorced (hypocrite).
Give me one reason why Cox would not be a better choice than the current occupant of the Governor's mansion.
