No Justice in Georgia- Lawsuit to dissolve cities

The Case

 

The State of Georgia has violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Fifteenth Amendment, as well as sections 2 and 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA). The state committed these violations by creating super-majority White neighborhoods and communities within previously existing local government bodies (Counties), in which, African-Americans have historically maintained dominant political control.

These “cities”, (Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, Milton, and Chattahoochee Hills) provide the exact same local government services and exercise the same government authority as the counties from which they were carved. By their creation, voting strength of African Americans within these cities has been diluted beyond the maximum Constitutional level and grossly in excess of the more restrictive provisions of the VRA. This has effectively taken the right to vote away from these African Americans.
The right to vote is fundamental to our American System, and to limit these individuals right to vote is unconstitutional and without justification.

Unemployment at 10.4% in Georgia

January's unemployment rate in Georgia remained at 10.4 percent, an all-time high. The December jobless rate, originally reported at 10.2 percent, was adjusted to 10.4, which is the same rate as January 2010. It was the 40th consecutive month that Georgia's unemployment rate has exceeded the national average, which is now 8.9 percent. Georgia Labor Commissioner Mark Butler said, "Other troubling signs are that in the same 12-month period, the number of jobs has shown a miniscule increase, while the number of long-term unemployed has increased significantly."

Georgia Labor Commissioner Mark Butler said, "Other troubling signs are that in the same 12-month period, the number of jobs has shown a miniscule increase, while the number of long-term unemployed has increased significantly."

Arizona Style Immigration Law passes the GA House of Representatives

After a lengthy debate Thursday, a majority of the House of Representatives voted to approve legislation intended to crack down on illegal immigration in Georgia by giving law enforcement more authority to investigate people's citizenship status and by penalizing businesses who hire undocumented workers.

Using a law enacted last year in Arizona, which borders Mexico, as a model, members of a special legislative committee that held several hearings last fall on the immigration issue drafted HB 87. The bill would authorize law enforcement officers to determine the immigration status of someone they have stopped or detained for a possible violation if they suspect the person is an illegal immigrant. The person could then be held by police for verification of their immigration status even after the basis for the original probable cause for the stop has expired.

Under the proposal, most business owners would have to provide evidence they have used the federal E-verify system to check the citizenship status of new employees. Using fake identification in order to gain employment would become a felony offense punishable by up to 15 years in prison. HB 87 would also provide Georgia residents an ability to sue a police force or other government agency in Superior Court if they believe the agency is not enforcing the immigration law. 

I believe this measure will result in increased ethnic profiling of law-abiding citizens and adversely affect Georgia businesses, especially the agriculture and tourism industries.

After a vote of 113-56 in favor of passage, HB 87 now goes to the Senate for its consideration.
