State governance the reason Dems passed us by
It should be no surprise that the Democrats will not bring their national convention to Georgia.
Every major state office is held by people who have endangered the health and well-being of state residents. They are responsible for nonsensical gun laws, politicizing a global health emergency, and inserting themselves in private health care decisions while declining help for people to get insurance and a punitive tax regime (no taxes for yacht repair, but on every day-to-day purchase).
Then there is the silliness -- like outlawing laws to regulate lawn care equipment. Throw in an election denier as lieutenant governor, and it’s no wonder this state was passed over.

Writer on target about ‘wokeness’
The April 14 letter to the editor about “Being woke is spiritual experience of self-grandiosity and is a quick emotional fix and feeling of righteousness over perceived injustices including racism, diversity, equity and inclusion” explains it all.
It is why so many women are wannabe activists, and groups like BLM exist without offering anything of real value to our country and hard-working citizens. Great article everyone should think about.

Kind actions not limited to church-goers
This letter is in response to the April 14 letter to the editor “Being ‘woke’ is spiritual experience of self-grandiosity” take on being “woke.”
I agree that there are probably people who think that being “woke” gets them off the hook for actually doing any good deeds. However, the writer is delusional if she thinks all church-goers are “do-gooders.” I would venture to say that some people go to church out of habit, because of optics, to socialize with like-minded people, or because it is a rare hour in their busy lives when they can be alone with their thoughts. And many church-goers are not voting for policies that would address helping the needy.
