This is not the first time the federal government has had to step in and reassert the fundamental notions of who we are as a nation.

It should be no different in our nation`s capital. We may come from different sides of the political aisle, but our joint commitment to the ideals of this nation cannot be negotiable.

the way she read Senator John Kennedy for filth at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week was everything.

The reaction should not be to hold on to power by diminishing the power of citizenship.

It bands nearly all out of precinct votes.

It eliminates over 300 hours of drop box availability.

It requires that a voter have a photo identification or some other form of identification that they're willing to surrender in order to participate in the absentee ballot process.

It bans nearly all out-of-precinct votes.

It restricts the time a voter can request and return an absentee ballot application.

It eliminates over 300 hours of dropbox availability.

I think there are provisions of it that are racist, yes.

Like many Georgians, I`m disappointed that the MLB is relocating the All-Star Game. However, I commend the players, owners and league commissioner for speaking out. I urge others in positions of leadership to do so as well.
