<<<Evans Endorses Hawkins for
GA 9th District US Congress
On Feb 3, former US Congressional candidate Mike Evans officially endorsed Lee Hawkins for the District 9 seat. Evans cited Hawkins' commitment and experience as a State Senator as the primary reasons for the endorsement. Evans withdrew from the race in January.
US Congressman Scott Brown (R-MA) Sworn In Today, Feb 4.
Former Senator-elect Scott Brown is officially Senator Scott Brown, having taken his oath of office today at the US Capitol. Brown and those who elected him have taken the "super-majority" control out of the hands of Democrats.
Terrorist Attempt 'Certain' Within Months
The five senior leaders of the U.S. intelligence community told a Senate panel Tuesday they are "certain" that terrorists will attempt another attack on the United States in the next three to six months.
The warning came during the annual threat briefing to Congress. When asked, "What is the likelihood of another terrorist-attempted attack on the U.S. homeland in the next three to six months? High or low?" Dennis C. Blair, a retired admiral and Director of National Intelligence, said in response "An attempted attack, the priority is certain, I would say."
Four other intelligence agency leaders who appeared at the hearing with Mr. Blair said they agreed with the assessment. They included CIA Director Leon E. Panetta, FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III, Lt. Gen. Ronald L. Burgess Jr., the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and John Dinger, the acting assistant secretary of state for intelligence and research.
Miracle in Massachusetts
Many of you made a contribution to the Tea Party Express last week to help win the MA Senatorial seat previously occupied by Kennedy. So did the HCRP. This enabled the TPE to run powerful ads like the one attached. Enjoy !
Newt Gingrich On Possible 2012 Run
Former House speaker visits key primary states.
Senator John McCain Responds to State of Union Address
Democrats Are on the Endangered Species List!
Kudos to everyone and the HCRP for contributing money to the Tea Party Express. The TPE used the money to run ads in Mass to help beat the Democratic candidate in the most blue state in the Union. Go GOP!
Hall County District 1
Commission Seat
So far, two candidates, both Republicans, have announced their plans to run for Hall County District 1 Commission Seat this Fall. Bobby Banks, who currently holds the seat that represents South Hall, said he will seek reelection. Thursday, Craig Lutz, Flowery Branch City Councilman announced he will run for the same post.
Cagle Wants Legislation to Build New Water Reservoirs
Lt Governor Casey Cagle told GA Network News he plans to find the money to build new reservoirs in GA, in response to the on going legal battle over water rights to Lake Lanier.
Commission to Speedup Building of Glades Farm Reservoir
Chairman Tom Oliver says the county should have a permit within 2 years, to go ahead and start the Glades Farm reservoir project. He said, “We think we can create enough water there to serve Hall County for the next 50 years.” Chairman Oliver was addressing the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce meeting in South Hall.
Gun Law Changes
Georgia lawmakers could consider vast changes to the state's firearm laws when the state Legislature convenes this month, including a push to allow gun owners with permits to carry their concealed weapons at a range of new areas, from churches to school zones to college campuses.
Student–Teacher Sex Law
A plan to close a loophole in Georgia's student-teacher sex law is picking up support, according to its sponsor, State Representative Doug Collins of Gainesville. Representative Collins said a few weeks ago he's had numerous colleagues ask to become co-sponsors and that the legislation has been well-received by many lawyers in the state. The change in the law would take away "consent" as a defense in cases involving sexual relations between students and teachers in Georgia's elementary and secondary schools even if the student has reached the age of consent, which is 16.
