As Crossover Day Looms, Grassroots Activists Make a Final Concerted Push

As Crossover Day Looms, Grassroots Activists Make a Final Concerted Push

Atlanta, GA — Tomorrow, March 6th, is Crossover Day at the state capitol. Any legislation that has not already passed from one side of the state legislature to the other will not pass this legislative session this year unless it gets a vote on the floor by tomorrow. Grassroots activities have been making a concerted effort to contact their legislators and urge them to pass good bills and to stop bad ones.

While stellar pro-life and election integrity bills remain stalled without a committee hearing, the Georgia General Assembly has been fast-tracking corporate welfare and big government expansion bills of numerous kinds. What’s alarming is that this is being done by a Republican-controlled state legislature!

Hundreds Attend Rally for H.B 441

Monday morning, hundreds of pro-life activists gathered at Liberty Plaza at the capitol to urge legislators to give H.B. 441, the Pro-Life Equal Protection Act, a hearing in the Judiciary Non-Civil Committee. The committee Chairman State Rep. Tyler Paul Smith (R-Bremen) said that he was favorable to the bill, but was “waiting for the Speaker [Jon Burns] to give the green light” before a hearing would be scheduled.

We are calling on supporters to contact Speaker Jon Burns’ office and urge him to give Rep. Smith the “green light” now! Call the Speaker at (404) 656-5020 and tell his office to give H.B. 441 a hearing before Crossover Day! You can also email him at jon.burns@house.ga.gov.

Equal protection is the idea that murder of anyone should be illegal for everyone. The rally was called the “Christians for the Pre-Born” rally, and was largely coordinated by local pastors who came with their congregations.

Members of Pray’s Mill Baptist Church in Douglasville who attended the rally for HB 441.

The rally featured several pastors from across the state such as Josh Buice and Virgil Walker from G3 Ministries, and Wes Fuller from middle Georgia. Out of state proponents Jeff Durbin from End Abortion Now and Brian Gunter (formerly with Louisiana Right to Life) also gave rousing speeches. GRA NFRA Director Abigail Darnell presented a strong message on behalf of Georgia Right to Life in favor of the bill. This is the first time a pro-life Equal Protection bill has been properly assgined to a committee dealing with criminal activity rather than healthcare.

GRA-endorsed State Reps. Noelle Kahaian (R-Locust Grove) and Charlice Byrd (R-Woodstock), who are co-sponsors for H.B. 441, were among the attendees.

Sen. Moore Drops “Paper Ballot” Election Integrity Bill

Meanwhile, on the Senate side, GRA-endorsed State Sen. Colton Moore (R-Dade) last week introduced S.B. 303, an Election Integrity bill that would exchange the Dominion machines for paper ballots — a key issue for many election integrity advocates. While both paper and computer ballots can be made fraudulent, the concern is that it is easier for a lay person to detect cheating in a paper ballot system than with a system like Dominion. Senate Republican Majority Leader Steve Gooch (R-Dahlonega) and Senator Greg Dolezal (R-Cumming) have also co-signed onto the bill.

Even though the bill has been assigned to the Senate Ethics Committee, supporters have been frustrated that the bill was not getting a hearing scheduled before Crossover Day.

Georgians for Truth put out an alert calling for activists to contact legislators and urge them to support S.B. 303 and 215. H.B. 215 aims to enhance the integrity and accuracy of Georgia’s voter registration system by regulating how voter data is shared and used, restricting participation in certain organizations, and authorizing new mechanisms for maintaining voter lists. Chiefly, it will force the SOS to exit from ERIC (Electronic Registration Information Center). Most surrounding states have exited from this system as it has failed its purpose.

Make Your Voice Heard: Resolutions That Matter

Make Your Voice Heard: Resolutions That Matter

Year after year, the GAGOP passes resolutions that don’t seem to have an impact. That’s because certain people don’t want the party to do anything except follow after politicians, instead of holding them accountable to you. That’s why people are always in a rush to adjourn conventions instead of letting more business take place. You can fix that.

This year, don’t let them stop the grassroots. Vote against attempts to adjourn or shut down debate.

As county conventions approach, it’s vitally important that you make sure you both submit resolutions to various conventions, and get other likeminded people involved. Why? Because resolutions from the party can be actions that influence what happens (such as the recent decision by the State GOP to prohibit Geoff Duncan from qualifying as a Republican in the future), or create state the party’s opinion on important issues.

I will likely be submitting versions of the following resolutions to be considered at the state convention. These are personal projects. You can, if you agree with them, edit them and make sure to have similar versions adopted at your county and district conventions (there are .doc versions for you to edit):

1. Resolution Unifying the Party in Prohibiting Brad Raffensperger from Qualifying as a Republican (.doc) (.pdf); (Simplified Version Here)

2. Resolution Protecting the Party by Prohibiting Anyone Voting to Make Elections Non Partisan from Qualifying as a Republican (.doc) (.pdf);

3. Resolution Supporting Free Speech and Condemning Jon Burns; (See LINK/Story Here for Background) (.doc) (.pdf)

4. Resolution Supporting Delegate Control of GOP Branding (.doc) (.pdf).

You could even submit them to the state convention. Be sure to follow the deadlines and limitations in the Convention Call, which also governs rules changes AND declaring you’re running for state office.

It is great news that GAGOP has already taken their constitutionally authorized step to prohibit fake Republican/RINO former Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan, from running as a Republican in Georgia.

As I mentioned in the last message, we have a GAGOP Convention Cycle this year. This is where voters like you attend the GAGOP Precinct Meetings, County Conventions, District Conventions, and the State Convention to (1) pass motions (resolutions) regarding party actions; (2) elect delegates to other conventions; (3) elect party officers; (4) pass party rules. 

Your participation is vital. People who make their careers off politics or the “paid political industry” (such as lobbyists, political consultants, etc.) sometimes show up and try to persuade people to elect “nice” people who refuse to hold politicians accountable to our state party platform/principles.

It is vitally important you be involved, as you do not want Establishment/Paid Political Industry sycophants running the Georgia GOP. If you look at past messages, going back years, you can see the history of the GAGOP and the results of having people who refuse to stand for principle, versus the improvements we’ve had since 2019, though there is much to be done.

You need two things before the state convention: (1) get good information on who is running for various offices; (2) training/knowledge on how to use Roberts Rules of Order so you can have your voice heard and participate effectively in the convention process.

The Convention Call is attached, which has DEADLINES for submission of Resolutions, Rules, and Candidacy for office. Read this carefully and follow it if you wish to have the party take any actions (Resolutions), change party Rules, or to run for party office.

For the information, we encourage you to not lose credibility by making or supporting candidates for party office until later in the cycle. The Georgia Republican Assembly (“GRA”), consisting of principled grassroots Republicans like you (and you are welcome to apply to join at www.GeorgiaRA.com), holds a convention for our members (who are actual principled grassroots Republicans) to choose who to endorse with at least a 2/3 vote of those members.

This is after the GRA has a team that puts out a report on the candidates, including information from their history, answers to questionnaires, and other information. You can see previous reports on the GRA website (www.GeorgiaRA.com). 

We encourage you to not lose your freedom by getting into a divided candidate fight without all of the information. The GRA Endorsing Convention will be held this year on May 10, 2025 (with local endorsing conventions for local offices prior to that), and we encourage you to wait in supporting candidates for State GOP office until after all candidates have declared and the GRA endorsing convention has concluded.

The way the GOP Establishment takes back control of the GOP is by dividing grassroots anti-Establishment Republicans against each other, including by falsely advertising who they are. It is up to us to stop them.

Now more than ever, we need dedicated individuals like you to step up and make a difference. The GRA (www.GeorgiaRA.com) is a grassroots volunteer organization committed to empowering members and ensuring that our party stays true to its principles. We stand for transparency, accountability, and the power of “we the people.” I encourage you to join the GRA and be a part of this vital movement.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to Republican values. Together, we can build a stronger, more principled party that truly represents the voice of the people. Let’s continue to stand for truth, integrity, and the principles that make our party great.

Wonderful Time at the 3rd Annual Faith & Medicine Conference

Wonderful Time at the 3rd Annual Faith & Medicine Conference

Buford, GA — This past weekend the GRA was pleased to once again co-host the political panel for the Faith & Medicine Conference. Practicing medical doctor Rhett Bergeron with Real Health Medical founded the conference after the 2020 lockdowns led many to reevaluate how medicine should be handled.

GRA President Nathaniel Darnell moderated the panel, which featured Dr. Joe Boot from the Ezra Institute, Dr. Jason Garwood (author of the book Health for All of Life), Dr. Heidi Klessig, Dr. Ed Payne, and Dr. Joe Morecraft.

Among other things, the panel evaluated the policy changes forthcoming for the better from the Trump administration, which are expected once Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is approved to the cabinet.

The Faith & Medicine Conference Is Back!

The Faith & Medicine Conference Is Back!

The GRA is thrilled to report that the Faith and Medicine Conference is back in 2025! Moreover, the GRA is pleased to be co-sponsoring the event again, particularly the political panel on Saturday, which our GRA President Nathaniel Darnell will be moderating once again with a mix of new and returning panelists. This conference will be timely as we’ve recently seen breakthroughs on the medical freedom front with some of President Donald Trump’s forthcoming cabinet appointees. 

You may recall that this conference started after the 2020 COVID lockdowns forced churches around the country to shutdown their Sunday morning services and after many were shamed and coerced into taking the COVID vaccine and other “boosters” or risk losing their jobs. Christians and many others began to re-evaluate where the lines were drawn on the limits of civil authority and how we should take care of our health.

The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability just released a report on COVID-19 After a two-year investigation. It’s everything you would have expected. They found that the social distancing recommendations — which shut down churches, schools, and small business across the country — was arbitrary and not based on science. Moreover, there was no conclusive evidence that masks effectively protected Americans from COVID-19. See more on that report here.

For more insight, join us for the 2025 Faith & Medicine Conference on the weekend of January 31st – February 1st in Buford!

This Thanksgiving, Let Us Remember to Whom We Should Be Especially Thankful …

This Thanksgiving, Let Us Remember to Whom We Should Be Especially Thankful …

We at the GRA wish you and yours a happy Thanksgiving Day tomorrow as we celebrate the blessings of God upon our nation! These blessings were particularly evident in the recent general election as we saw NFRA-endorsed Donald Trump re-elected as U.S. President, and Republicans win back the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House!

We’re also thankful for a newly emerging breed of local and state Republican leaders like State Senator Colton Moore (District 53) who are providing a higher caliber of Republican in Georgia—focused on advancing Republican principles.

I recently had the delight of joining Senator Moore, Rep. Charlice Byrd (District 20) and former State Rep. Matt Gurtler (now Chief of Staff to Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky) at Moore’s Machine Gun Shootout in northwest Georgia. We had a blast celebrating together the recent wins.

Moore has been a voice of conviction for truth in the state legislature when many others shrink in cowardice. For example, you may have seen Moore’s recent reaction when Laken Riley’s murderer was convicted. Moore immediately called for GA’s Attorney General Chris Carr to act so that the convicted murderer would receive capital punishment, but do-nothing Carr continues to sit on his hands as usual in failing to enforce critical Georgia laws.

The Word of God says that the best way to protect innocent life is with the death penalty against those who would destroy it. “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man” (Genesis 9:12). This is much of the reason for why we stand for gun rights in America: Everyone has the right to defend himself with deadly force against those who would threaten him with deadly force

But after a crime has occurred, God has delegated the authority and responsibility only to civil government to impose capital punishment for convicted murderers who have received due process. (See Exodus 21:12Romans 13:3-4.) The brutal murder of Laken Riley deserves such a punishment.

But instead the taxpayers are being forced to provide Riley’s vicious murderer with free room and board for the rest of his life.

And yet Mr. Carr is not only ignoring the necessary action, but he’s apparently tone deaf enough to have announced he’s the first candidate to run as Georgia’s next so-called “Republican” Governor. We hope better candidates will enter that race in the days to come.

In the meantime, the GRA is going to continue to work alongside and support courageous and principled champions such as Colton Moore and resist the RINOswho would make America pathetic again.

The Bible teaches clearly that the role of Civil Government is to do justice, not charity, and not economic development. We look forward to the day when civil government gives more attention to doing real justice for victims, and less attention to micro-managing people’s lives and livelihoods.

To Whom Are You Thankful?

The Pilgrim fathers who gathered in Plymouth for the first Thanksgiving Day knew exactly to whom they owed gratitude. Likewise, President George Washington made it abundantly clear who our nation should be thankful for in his first national Thanksgiving proclamation.

Being thankful always requires an object of that gratitude.

The other day I was listening to a high school teacher explain to his students how the word “love” only makes sense if there is a specific target of that love. In grammar, words like “love” are what they call transitive verbs. No matter what the Democrats say, one is not simply a love person or a hate person. Everyone loves something and everyone hates something. Usually, we hate that which opposes what we love. It is the same with being thankful. Thankfulness is not just a warm fuzzy floating around in our feelings directed at no one in particular. We must have an object.

Who is the object of your thanksgiving this year? Hopefully, we are counting our blessings and thanking our families for their support throughout the daily grind. Tell them how much you appreciate them. Being grateful is good for the soul.

We should also be grateful for all of the hard-working volunteers in the GOP who made the recent victories possible. They worked tirelessly for the families in their community, who will all benefit from Republican policies, but never know who made it happen and will likely never express their gratitude.

There are many people we should thank. But most of all, we must give thanks to God.

This need is particularly underscored when we witness remarkable acts of providence and blessing for which mere coincidence cannot adequately account. Events like Donald Trump turning his head at just the right split second to only be grazed on the ear by a would-be assassin’s bullet.

Such events do not play out that way without, as George Washington would say, “the finger of providence” being in it.

Thanking God necessarily means we are acknowledging our dependence upon Him, and thus are acknowledging our need to trust and obey Him above all others as we continue to live.

We are thanking God with you this week! Together let us seek His wisdom and blessing as we work to improve Georgia. He has granted us a merciful reprievein the recent election results. Let us make the most of it.

We have not achieved success merely because Republicans were elected. We have achieved success when Republicans policies get enacted into law. So our work to provide accountability begins today.

If you are not currently engaged in the Republican Party, or if you would like to be more effective at advancing the principles and fighting off Democrats and Establishment RINOs, we invite you to contribute to our outreach in Georgia! Join the team of grateful warriors.

Record-Breaking Success in the 14th!

Record-Breaking Success in the 14th!

We’re in the final stretch of the general election campaign season, and the GRA is busy all across the state, working to make the biggest impact possible on November 5th!

Last week, several of us from the GRA Board were pleased to support our GRA-member Denise Burns, the Chairwoman of the 14th Congressional District GA GOP, in her special fundraiser dinner featuring hero journalist Tucker Carlson and GRA-endorsed Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) at the beautiful new McClemore Resort in Senator Colton Moore‘s district of northwest Georgia. This event was primarily organized, promoted, and coordinated by GRA-members who lead the 14th District GA GOP Committee, especially Denise, Joanna Hildreth, and Jackie Harling, with help from others in the district.

As the Treasurer of the 14th GA GOP, I was thankful that the event turned out to be such a success. It was not the Buckhead corporate lobbyists who came to the rescue to sponsor the dinner, but many regular grassroots folks in north Georgia and Tennessee who admire the courageous efforts Tucker and Marjorie have taken for the well-being of the country — even when it has cost them dearly. The event ended up raising over $200,000 (gross), which is far more than we have ever seen a congressional district GOP organization in the state raise all at once!

In addition, at the dinner VoterGA‘s Garland Favorito presented Tucker with the “Truth in Journalism” award for exposing evidence of tampering and fraud from the 2020 election on his old FoxNews show before he was forced to leave that network.

Those of us on the 14th District Committee met shortly thereafter to put these hard-earned funds immediately to good use to help our key Republican nominees in the district facing Democrat opposition. GRA-endorsed candidate Gary Chaffee, for example, received the maximum contribution for his State House race. But the committee was also careful to reward only principled Republican candidates, not RINO incumbents who can get backing from Speaker Burn‘s House “Republican” Caucus, where their loyalties obviously lie. I’m proud of the committee for taking that approach. It is good to reward real Republicans who actually uphold and advance the principles of the platform.

Meanwhile, Georgia has been seeing new records of early voting turnout around the state. Have you voted yet?

One of the friendly neighbors in my precinct I had the pleasure of meeting while canvassing for candidate Brad Wheeler.

GRA members have been volunteering as poll workers and poll watchers. We’ve been out door-knocking and sign-waving for local Republican candidates. In-between the work, some of us have managed to squeeze in a rally or two with Trump or J.D. Vance.

There are only 15 days left before the polls close on Election Day. We need to make hay while the sun shines!

Tuesday evening GRA members will have a Zoom call with Trump attorney (and fellow graduate from my law school alma materMark Meuser from California.

It will be vital that we be all on the same page and coordinated about how to handle any possible election fraud that comes to light on November 5th.

Since we still have to put up with the Dominion voting machine systems for this election, please be sure to encourage all of your friends and family to be careful to review their printed ballot before submitting it to ensure the selections match the choices made on the computer touch screen. There have already been reports of inaccurate printed ballots in some cases.

Let’s stay vigilant and keep pressing on for victory!

SEB Chairman Fervier Makes Up-Coming Meeting Virtual Only

SEB Chairman Fervier Makes Up-Coming Meeting Virtual Only

After the huge attendance of election integrity advocates at the state capitol for the last several State Board of Elections meetings, Governor Kemp’s appointed Chairman for the Board, John Fervier announced that the next meeting(s) would only be virtual online.

The next Board Meeting is scheduled for August 19th. “I wonder if the first item of business,” said GRA Chairman Alex Johnson, “should be to vote to have all in-person meetings in the future unless there’s an emergency agreed to by at least three members?”

By making the SEB meetings virtual they are preventing election integrity activists from providing in-person, demonstrable proof of concerned voters, holding signs and getting media attention for election reform, thus making them easier to ignore. No doubt the Chairman probably hopes to squelch the growing momentum within the movement and prevent the morale boost that results from seeing hundreds of fellow activists joining forces from around the state. But election integrity activists have decided to double down.

Jason Frazier, the GRA Election Integrity Action Group Chairman, posted the email addresses of the SEB members on X and urged people to contact them: “Tell them the brave folks in GA want to meet in person!”

Please email the State Election Board today:

jfervier.seb@gmail.com

jjohnstonmd.seb@gmail.com

rjeffares.seb@gmail.com

jking.seb@gmail.com

saraghazal.seb@gmail.com

He also suggested the board members who are not afraid of concerned citizens perhaps book a room at the Capitol where they can log in to the virtual call and allow the public to join. This would help the voters participate who are technologically challenged. Please suggest this option in your email to the SEB members. Frazier also suggested everyone contact Governor Kemp as well.

This news broke as Attorney General Chris Carr announced that he would follow the State Board’s recent vote calling for him to investigate evidence of problems with the Fulton County elections from 2020. Carr said in a statement: “The State of Georgia will investigate specific claims of voter fraud. Based on the facts & the evidence, we stand ready to prosecute any voter fraud found in the State of Georgia.”

But Kandiss Taylor, GRA Member and First District GOP Chairwoman, remains skeptical. She discovered donor records showing the Republican Attorneys General Association gave Governor Kemp over $1.8 Million in four donations. She believes this is why there has been no investigation of voter fraud.

GRA member and GA GOP Over 80K Chairwoman Salleigh Grubbs from Cobb called on activists to sign the petition being promoted by VoterGA & the GA Constitution Party, encouraging the State Elections Board to vote for a new rule to increase election integrity.

Time for a Reagan Movie Night!

Time for a Reagan Movie Night!

We’d like to invite you to join us on Thursday evening, August 22nd, for a special pre-release showing of the final cut of the Reagan MovieAbout twelve years ago, when I was paying my way through law school while working as a film editor in San Antonio, I had the pleasure of meeting the filmmakers behind this movie when it was in the early stages of pre-production. I can’t tell you how excited I am that they finally got it made after all these years!

My wife and I had the delight of seeing an early cut of the film back in May, and it brought tears to our eyes. While there are many excellent documentaries about the life of our 40th President, we have never seen a dramatic film made about him before that was not out to make him look like a bafoon or heartless. What people will see in this film is a moving depiction of Reagan’s heroic presidency in spite of his flaws. It pays honor to a man who helped to tun the tide of American history. The Republican Party, and the world, has not been the same since Ronald Reagan.

So what a great way for us to get in the mood right before campaigning gets into high gear for the November General Election than to go and see this movie together! Supporting the movie will also support the brave independent filmmakers who have labored for so long to bring this to the screen.

Come join us on Thursday evening, August 22nd, at 6:00pm for this special pre-release showing of the FINAL CUT of the new Reagan Movie — hosted by the Cobb County Republican Assembly chapter! The showing will be at the NCG Acworth Movie Theater. Those who register will receive a drink and popcorn along with their movie ticket!

Seating is limited! There is an early bird $5 discount if you register before August 20th.

Here is a summary of the event:

Reagan Movie Night
Location: NCG Acworth Movie Theater
4421 Cinema Dr, Acworth, GA 30101
Time: 6:00pm EST
Cost: $35 for movie, popcorn, & drink

Funds raised go to the support of local Republican candidates in the general election.

The Fight Against Tyranny Today

The Fight Against Tyranny Today

Happy Independence Day from the Georgia Republican Assembly!

It’s time to break out the fireworks and enjoy some tasty barbecue! Yes, it is good for our country to come together and celebrate days of remembrance.

But through all the fun, I hope that we make sure our children and grandchildren really know and understand why we are having all of these festivities. Because the battle-cry against tyranny that our founding fathers sounded in their generation is still the cry that we must sound today.

Our founders faced tyranny from the British King and Parliament. Today we face tyranny from global agencies, the White House, Congress, numerous federal agencies, sometimes the Gold Dome, and even our local county commission and board of election buildings!

Our founders gave their “lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor,” and we are standing on their shoulders. We may not yet be called upon to risk our lives or our fortunes, but surely we can give something to the cause of freedom. It may be an evening at a county commission or board of elections meeting, or a Saturday door-knocking for a strong candidate.

Even more significantly, it may mean taking the time to personally raise our children (and not just let the government schools or the T.V. do it for us!). It may mean regularly going to church, and giving charitably to replace government welfare. It may mean working a job faithfully and living within our means so that we and our families don’t become dependent slaves of the state.

Some of these things may not sound all that political, but they are all a part of building a culture that makes America great again! That culture is what the French author Alex de Tocqueville observed about Americans in 1835 when he wrote: “America is great because she is good.”

An America that has that kind of culture can withstand any attempted tyrannies from the state. A hero in office like Donald Trump needs a people with that kind of culture to back him up and spur him on to success.

So let’s work to rebuild the best aspects of the American culture that first made it “great.” Let’s return to those founding presuppositions of the founding generation — not all of which they personally lived up to, but which they fearlessly proclaimed as the nation’s aspiration!

Let’s get back to acknowledging, first, as our founders did in the Declaration of Independence, that we are “created” by God with a special human purpose. We did not randomly happen to rise out of the ooze without meaning. We are not the product of chance. Moreover, there is a Divine Authority over all human authorities that holds them in check.

That Creator “endowed us with certain unalienable rights.” These rights mean that God has placed jurisdictional limitations upon civil government. He did not give them a blank check. The state may not morally murder (or help murderers get away with it), and it may not steal — just to touch on a few of the tyrannies our modern civil government regularly practices today.

We must expect better from our elected officials.

We must be willing to work as hard as our founders.

We must, as our founders, trust in Divine Providence.

In 1775 when General George Washington was struggling to keep his army together in the war against Britain, the greatest empire on earth, he wrote:

“If I shall be able to rise superior to these and many other difficulties which might be enumerated, I shall most religiously believe that the finger of Providence is in it …”.

George Washington

We need to get down our knees and pray to God for help in our own battle against tyranny today. We need to acknowledge our sins, both personal and national, and turn from them. We need to ask God to forgive us and help us to overcome even as He helped the founding generation overcome in 1776.

We in the GRA are ready to lock arms with you in this endeavor. Reach out to us if we can help you in this on-going fight against tyranny!
