Wow!
John Oxendine is one of the GOP candidates for Georgia Governor. He has been our Insurance Commissioner for years, since 1994. Not a good one either. This is the Insurance Commissioner who insisted he had to have sirens and flashing lights on his official car, and got into trouble using them. He won the Insurance Commissioner position in 1994 by running as a "family man" and avoiding any issue- winning 50.98% of the vote.
I read about his views on Georgia's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment, and did a little research.
His views:
Abolish state income tax.
Adopt The Fair Tax.
Georgia's sovereignty,
School vouchers.
Local school control.
Protect life from conception to death.
Less government restrictions on firearms.
Increase permits for carrying firearms.
Get tough on immigration.
He only missed gay marriage, I believe.
His press release below.
John Oxendine's Contract with Georgia
(Reminds me of something...)
First - make state government smaller and more accountable by implementing zero-base budgeting.
Second - create a modern 21st century tax code for Georgians which abolishes the state income tax.
Third - implement a comprehensive statewide transportation system.
Fourth - actively assert that pursuant to the tenth amendment of the U.S. Constitution belongs to the American people and not Washington politicians.
Fifth - break ground on new water reservoirs to ensure an adequate water supply for our future.
Sixth - invest in all schoolchildren by allowing tax dollars to follow the child in the form of an education voucher. An equal access voucher system supports the rights of parents to decide how to best educate their children.
Seventh - create an outcome-based, educational model which eliminates process micromanagement at the state level; maintaining local control but ensuring accountability.
Eighth - aggressively support legislation which protects and preserves human life from conception to death.
Ninth - fight for less government restrictions on where law abiding and permitted citizens can carry a firearm.
Tenth - protect taxpayers by defending the integrity of Georgia's borders through upholding and enforcing immigration laws.
Eleventh - implement focused domestic and international economic development which targets our efforts on the recruitment of industries for which Georgia is a talent and resource fit.
Twelfth - work with the Governors of other states to strongly encourage Congress to adopt The Fair Tax.
