Sonny, what's your backup plan?

To the Governor of Georgia, Sonny Purdue,

It's okay for your personal business to take out a $21 million dollar loan, but you want to turn down unemployment benefits for Georgians! How dare you! Just as your personal business will plan to pay the money, back if the loan will save you now, SO CAN OUR STATE!

This mess you call governing may be okay with some folks but you and your party are turning our state into a 3rd world state! People do see that you plan on taking the stimulus package money and funding the property tax role back. That will not help all Georgians, just the large property holders. Your friends, and you, Sonny Perdue will benefit. Even the owners of the cesspool of a peanut processing plant will get a tax cut, while thousands of Georgians who have lost their homes and need this money more will not.

While you're making trips to Reynolds Plantation to meet golf legends, you need to get out talk to some real everyday Georgians. Talk to the families that are loosing their homes. Families are trying to do for their children with less money as jobs cut salaries to keep employees. People are going out and getting second and third jobs to keep up and they have a back up plan. All this is going on while the cost of living keeps increasing. Real small business owners are cutting back to keep their business going, or going to their churches for groceries. What's Georgia's, what’s YOUR, backup plan if you don't take this money from the Federal Government?

I may not agree with everything in the stimulus package, but it is truly a detriment to the people of Georgia to turn down any assistance at this time. As old folks would say that’s the same as cutting off your nose to spite your face and that just leaves you looking ugly!
