Thank You, Sonny Perdue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Governor Sonny Perdue today signed into law the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act (SB529). The bill was sponsored by State Senator Chip Rogers in the Senate and carried in the House by Representative John Lunsford.


SB529 requires citizenship verification for individuals using Georgia’s public services to ensure they are legally eligible to receive those services. It also requires citizenship verification of state employees and employers with state contracts and subcontracts. The bill requires that businesses compensating undocumented employees more than $600 a year may not claim wages as an allowable business expense, and requires a six percent state withholding tax for all nonresident aliens. The bill gives law enforcement agencies the tools they need to work more closely with federal officials to enforce immigration laws in Georgia. Georgia’s new immigration law will help ensure Georgia’s public safety by giving law enforcement the authority to crack down on human trafficking and check the legal status of anyone charged with a felony or DUI.
All provisions are effective July 1, 2007.

Georgia has become the first state to aggressively address a comprehensive solution to the problem of illegal immigration.

Sonny Perdue is tackling issues no one else has the courage to do. He is a leading authority on numerous issues including agriculture, transportation, education, and economic development.

He is the only governor to sign the Landowner’s Bill of Rights and Private Property Protection Act. This protects private landowners in Georgia against the abuse of eminent domain.


He also has passed the strongest sexual predator law in the nation. To protect children from the worst criminals that exists in society. This law gives a minimum sentence of 25 years to life.

I was a resident of Georgia for 3 years; I am now stuck here in California with the worst governor ever. Perdue is a shining example of the kind of governor we need for California. I can only hope that we can have a governor who is a courageous as Perdue.
