| March 2007 Bulletin |
Representative Buckner contacted the association via
phone and e-mail. She is reviewing our request, reference O.C.G.A.
16-12-60 amendment. The presidents and commanders of the
various police and veterans organizations are reporting that
they have not received any response from this member or her
colleagues in the Columbus Delegation of the Georgia General
Assembly concerning our plight. Letters reference this
legislation went out in February to all local Commanders and
Presidents. |

December 2007 Bulletin |
Since the bulletin in March 2007, the Coalition has met
with Representative Buckner and two of her colleagues in the
Columbus Delegation Representative Carolyn Hugley and
Senator Seth Harp. The meeting was a productive one. All
three pledged their support for amending the current law.
However, all of them expressed a desire that the coalition
assist them with this effort, during bill's introduction
phase and while it makes it way through the process of both
the House and Senate Chambers. Therefore, the coalition
leadership on this issue asks each Chapter, Lodge, Post and
Club Commander/President to personally contact their
legislators in their House/Senate District and request that
he/she support and become a sponsor or co-sponsor of this
legislation. In addition, communicate with your executive
committees/boards and your membership and ask them to also
contact their legislators about this issue. |

Elected officials are important to
our members and the Georgia law enforcement community. Because we
are public officers, we are dependant upon our elected officials at
all levels of Georgia government for support. As our members cannot
personally meet with each individual candidate, our
legislative-governmental affairs committee strives to learn the
position of each candidate on the issues of interest to our members,
the Georgia law enforcement and military communities and the voters
at large and make recommendations as to which candidate we believe
will best represent and support our interests.
