January 2023 - The Georgia Republican Assembly

These Republican Heroes Need Your Help!

January 24, 2023 by Georgia Republican Assembly in Issues

This legislative session, our GRA-endorsed legislators and their partners are tackling some major issues that the Establishment in Atlanta does NOT want to come up for a vote! Last week we met with several of our state legislators (pictured above) such as State Reps. Charlice Byrd (Cherokee), Mitchell Horner (Catoosa), Emory Dunahoo (Jackson), and State Senator Colton Moore (District 53), who are working to champion several of the Republican issues folks back home have been clamoring for!

Issues such as election integrity reform, equal protection for all of the preborn, shielding children from drag queens as well as trans and woke indoctrination, securing gun rights, cutting back cronyism and government waste, and more! But before they can barely get started, they are already meeting with opposition and intimidation tactics from the Establishment cronies in the GOP.

The crux of the controversy: The Republican Party does not exist merely to get people with an “R” next to their name elected. The Republican Party exists to advance the pro-American principles in our Republican Party platform. If we win all the elections, but do not pass Republican policies into law, the Republican Party is not doing its job.

The fact is that we are losing Republican supporters because the GOP is not doing its job. Take, for example, this recent email message we received from one of our readers:

The Establishment in Atlanta and D.C., however, want you to think that Republicans must make people with an “R” next to their name look good regardless of whether they advance Republican principles or undermine them. That’s why they took so much offense at the GRA publicly exposing the wrongs of former Speaker David Ralston and calling him to account, or take offense when we’ve pointed out something bad or questionable that Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger or Governor Brian Kemp has done.

*GRA leadership meeting with legislators at the state capitol last week*

So while the Establishment in Atlanta acts very indignant for the GRA publicly seeking accountability against RINOs, they hypocritically seek to bring their own form of accountability against those of us who do not pretend like all elected Republican officials are wonderful in all that they do (or do not do). They want to “cancel” us. They want to cancel our endorsed legislators. They want to cancel the voice of you, the grassroots activists. They are actively right now trying to destroy, shame, and neuter those champions working to advance the issues you have told us you care about in Georgia.

Issues that are a matter of life and death, issues that determine whether we enjoy the freedom and prosperity we inherited from our forefathers or sink into oppression.

We expect the Democrats, the Marxists, and the “fake news” liberal media to attack us. They have already clearly marked and identified themselves as the enemy. But when people in your own party stab you in the back, that is especially disgraceful.

*GRA President Alex Johnson, State Rep. Charlice Byrd, and State Rep. Mitchell Horner at the capitol*

Over the last two weeks our legislators have been told to keep quiet about election integrity reform. No one in leadership is providing any plan on how to address the concerns. Meanwhile, new Speaker Jon Burns (Screven) has signaled he is not “looking” to take up another pro-life bill this year. Pseudo-prolife groups controlled by the Establishment are pressuring legislators like Charlice Byrd and Emory Dunahoo to back down from introducing Equal Protection legislation and to disassociate with GRTL and the GRA.

Likewise, the first day of the legislative session, Representatives in the State House were given less than an hour to review proposed rules changes before being called upon to vote on them. One of the rules changes gives the state Speaker new authority to bypass the House Rules Committee and bring legislation to the Floor unilaterally, and another rule allows the Speaker to shorten the window of time in which legislators could vote on a bill. These are powers some could reasonably question whether they might be abused. State Rep. Mitchell Horner made an objection on the adoption of these rules and was quickly berated on the House floor by State Rep. Sharon Cooper (Cobb).

Over this last weekend, some officers of our Executive Committee have received death threats from anonymous callers identifying themselves with Antifa. This began at the same time riots of violence broke out in downtown Atlanta. Our words have been twisted and sensationalized to provoke a backlash. The radical left and the Republican Establishment are out to quash the GRA because we are fighting for you. We are fighting for the defenseless.

We need your help! Here’s two ways you can help:

Contact Our GA GOP Leaders about RNC Chair Vote

January 22, 2023 by Nathaniel Darnell in Campaign / Issues

We have received numerous requests from readers asking how they can get in contact with our GA GOP Chairman David Shafer, our GA National Committeeman Jason Thompson, and our GA National Committeewoman Ginger Howard about the vote for RNC Chair. These three people represent us Republicans from Georgia on the Republican National Committee and they will soon be voting on who should be the RNC Chair for the country.

Many believe that the current RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel (niece to Mitt Romney) is largely to blame for the overall poor Republican performance across the country in the last general election. Today our National Committeeman Jason Thompson announced he would be voting for Harmeet Dhillon (a Republican Assembly member) to replace her. The other two representatives of the GA GOP have signaled that they are still undecided.

Kemp at Davos

January 19, 2023 by Georgia Republican Assembly in Issues

If you portray yourself as a Globalist Republican with few conservative principles and you tell the folks at home on a Zoom meeting that you gave “them the Business,” the World Economic Forum (WEF) will “pat you on the head.”

*Governor Kemp at the World Economic Forum in Davos*

Governor Brian Kemp’s question at the forum: “In the last elections, you were very clearly elected, and the candidates that did not win were ‘election deniers,’ have you got any perceptions here regarding what’s the difference?” Kemp’s responses were about business climate, secure the border, and the Inflation Reduction Act, but nothing about election integrity. The WEF got what they were looking for when Kemp, in essence, said “election deniers can’t win in Davos’ New World Order.”

In contrast, when President Donald Trump attended Davos before the election of 2020, his message to the World Economic Forum was: “A Nation’s highest duty is to its citizens. A pro-worker, pro-family agenda demonstrates how a nation can thrive.” “But to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow, we must reject the perennial prophets of doom.” “These alarmists always demand the same thing – ABSOLUTE POWER. To dominate, transform, and control every aspect of our lives.”

Klaus Schwab, founder of the WEF, stated “We have to prepare for a more angry world……” and “What we are very proud of is that we have penetrated the cabinets. . .”

Check out the other invitees to 2023 World Economic Forum. We don’t see any America First leaders on this roster. There are a few Globalist Republicans here, but no Populist Republicans nor Grassroots Republicans, nor Nationalist Republicans, nor Conservative Republicans, just Elite Republicans who want to do business with CCP and WEF and Multinational Corporations who care not for America’s citizens.

Brian Kemp, Daniel Issa, Joe Manchin, Samantha Power, John Kerry, Gretchen Whitmer, and Christopher Wray, Director of FBI, . . . hmmmm? The last time the World Economic Forum invited a governor from Georgia was in 1970’s – Governor Jimmy Carter. And do you know how many of his cabinet positions were WEF members. There were ten of them, especially Zbigniew Brzezinski, father of Mika.

Get Ready for Convention Season

January 5, 2023 by Georgia Republican Assembly in conventions

Want to help us make the GA GOP stronger? Want to get more principled GA GOP leaders elected who will advance the principles and ensure we get good Republicans elected to public office? Then mark your calendars and plan to participate in the up-coming GA GOP Conventions starting next month:

Last year was our off-year, but now we have to assemble again to elect the officers of our county, congressional district, and state GOP organizations once again. Already, the GRA has been scheduling trainings from one end of the state to the other to assist new activists in understanding how they can be effective in these conventions.

If you would like for us to host a training in your community, please email us as soon as possible so that we can attempt to include you in our busy schedule.
