HB-674 did not make it to the Senate Floor for a vote, because Lt Governor Cagle and Senate Rules Committee Chairman Don Balfour did not honor our request to allow the senate to vote. Mr. Cagle did not respond to our telephone calls and e-mails to him. The bill was passed in the 2009 session of the Georgia House of Representatives by a large margin. This legislation was vital to the survival of all Georgia non-profit police and veterans organizations who depend on their bingo program to fund their programs and services to law enforcement officers and veterans who may need assistance. The Legislative Committee urges everyone to take into consideration the lack of support for our veterans and police officers by these politicians on election day. Senator John Douglas , Chairman of the Senate Veterans, Military & Homeland Security Committee supported veterans and police on this very important legislation. John is seeking a seat on the Georgia Public Service Commission District 2. We urge all law enforcement and military personnel and veterans to support John Douglas in his bid for the PSC. Peace Officers and veterans still serving or those who have served should never lend their support to any politician who won't support us. We want to express our sincere gratitude to the Georgia House members of both parties who supported their peace officers and veterans. As they supported us, we will support them.
