While GRA members all over the state were busy winning elections to GOP office, at the 8th Congressional District GOP Convention in Bleckley County, delegates were entertaining a resolution that reportedly “condemned the Georgia Republican Assembly.” Austin Futch served as the Chairman of the 8th District Resolutions Committee. This was one of only two resolutions brought forward by the Resolutions Committee in that congressional district.
Out of the 161 delegates at the convention, witnesses reported that only 10 people supported the resolution. One delegate reported that the resolution “talked about building, [and] yet they tear down. Delegates realized that and there was a lot of pushback.

I was there from Houston Co. What about the fact that Houston Co. GOP approved 2 fine conservative resolutions, Bibb GOP approved 7, and yet only 2 wildly liberal resolutions were put forward via a district leadership appointed committee?
Praise God delegates Amanda Prettyman and another stood up and read all 7 of their Bibb Co. resolutions (all commonsense conservative) to be voted on. Many were approved that day, because these newcomers happened to have the information and spoke up. At the same time, I was informed by Mr. Futch, District 8 leadership, that only 3 county GOPs had provided resolutions at all. Coordinated lying.
And that’s besides the voting themselves into office using so called “slates”.
Seriously – how do we keep these from happening at state? Thank you.
Resolutions that passed were:
1)A school choice one
2)freedom and justice one about applying the law equally
3)ban the optical scanning voting machines
4)Move to paper ballots
5)Forensic audits of election for as long as we are using these machines.
Tabled were:
-Oversight of the fraud, waste, and fraud of $9billion in the USG.
-Ban the Vaccines (They tabled it before I could offer an amendment of banning mandated vaccines among workers and students)
The other resolutions that was voted down was an acknowledgement of the Log Cabin Republicans
