Besides voting for Hillary be sure to vote against Ballot Initiatives 1 and 3


The 1st amendment on the ballot is cleverly worded to make it sound like a proposal to help public schools, it's really a ploy to take money away from schools and funnel funds to private schools.

The 3rd amendment will change the way the Judicial Qualifications Commission is chosen. It will put too much power into the hands of the top 3 politicians in the state.

Under current law, the Judicial Qualifications Commission is
comprised of two judges selected by the Georgia Supreme Court, three lawyers
appointed by the State Bar of Georgia and two citizens appointed by the Governor. The
proposed constitutional amendment would change the appointment powers:
appointments would be made by the Speaker of the House, the Lieutenant Governor
and the Governor. The public will now be denied access to a judge’s disciplinary hearing
before the JQC for the first time.
