A Strong Case for the Crisp County Agricultural Center

Posted on by

The Crisp County Board of Education is currently establishing a priority list for the renewal of a Special Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). There are primarily two projects, one for sports facilities and one for agriculture training facilities, that are basically in a dead tie for priority.

When it comes down to it, there cannot be a tie. One will be prioritized and money will be spent first on one, then on the other. One will move forward while the other waits.

My vote is for Agriculture to get the priority. This is not to put down sports in any way but it is long past time, to recognize the importance of agriculture. As the old saying goes, here in the Watermelon Capital of the World, we need to put our money where our mouth is.

Let me give just a few reasons that an Agricultural center should take priority. I believe that we can reason together and come to the same conclusion.

First, it is a matter of acknowledging the size of the agricultural impact in Crisp County. Nearly one fifth of the land on which our property tax digest is based on is agricultural land. Not only that, the extracurricular agriculture programs are the largest, with Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) serving more than 800 students annually.

Secondly, while it is the largest program, it has been overlooked in terms of significant capital investment. The current facility—the JW Mann Show Barn—was built around 1958. It is outdated, undersized, and unable to host regional events.

The show barn’s limitations are not cosmetic; they are structural. Crisp County cannot expand agricultural opportunities without a modern, safe, accessible facility.

Let’s be honest. In the past seven decades we have more than a few capital projects to address the needs of our school system. Let’s stop putting this off and make it the priority we should.

A third reason, is basic and simple fairness. As it stands right now, students who want to participate to the fullest extent in our agricultural programs must have access to agricultural land. What does that say to those who live in subdivisions, neighborhoods, or apartments? While it may be unintentional, it severely narrows the valuable opportunities for our students.

The research proves that students who participate in agricultural projects show measurable growth in responsibility, confidence, communication, ethical decision‑making, and time management. These are not “FFA fun” activities. They develop workforce‑ready skills that employers are begging for.

A fourth reason is economic impact. A modern Crisp County Agricultural Center would open the door for new economic impact as a regional host for livestock and other agricultural shows. Conservative estimates are that each event could bring in an additional $39,000 – $49,000 in direct local spending. If Crisp County hosted just four shows per year, it would generate up to nearly $200,000 locally and that is a conservative figure.

Finally, this project is perfectly aligned with the purpose of SPLOST. It is a capital improvement that meets the needs of our largest extracurricular programs, removes barriers for educational opportunity, enhances educational infrastructure, supports workforce development, and generates economic impact for our community.

I close with a compromise offer which, if done properly, would make the Crisp County Agriculture Center the priority project while also identifying smaller projects, such as restroom upgrades, lighting improvements, resurfacing, safety repairs, equipment replacement, and small scale facility enhancement in other areas which could be completed while we maintain our focus on the Crisp County Agricultural Center.

This can be a win-win for everyone, especially the students we serve. Make the Crisp County Agriculture Center our main priority project while also taking smaller, strategic, bites at our other needs.

The Conscience of Bonaire: A Tribute to My 95 Year Old Mother

Posted on by

For years she wrote “Little Lessons” every week for the Houston Home Journal. Prior to that she wrote a weekly article for the Warner Robins Sun before it became the Daily Sun.

Her stories were about people and how to build up and encourage others. She also had a knack for poetry, writing several books. i think one of her works of poetry was a collection of poems called, “Led By a Child.”

Some have told me that I inherited my writing abilities from her. If that’s true, I consider it one of the greatest gifts she ever gave to me.

She taught me to look for and find the best in people. Whether rich or poor, young or old, educated in the greatest universities or those with intellectual challenges that placed them at grades-school level or below, she sought and found the good in people.

She wanted to share everything she had with anyone who would accept. One of the ways she shared was to be the family for foster children. From babies to teenagers, she poured her soul into them. Today some of those, now all grown up, still stay in touch.

She is now 95 years old and lives in Summer Hill nursing home in Perry. She can’t get up and around like she used to but she still has a sharp mind.

I took her a manuscript of a book that I am writing and sat with her as she traced the words with her finger and methodically turned the pages. “It’s a good book,” she said. That’s all the literary review that I need.

Former Governor Sonny Perdue, one time referred to her as, “The conscience of Bonaire. That title sums up her life.

She had a way of seeing things with clarity that was not through a filter of politics or popularity, but through a lens of right and wrong.

Her energy has waned. Her hearing is practically gone. But the twinkle in her eyes and her smile can light up the room.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mama. I love you and will see you this Mother’s Day.

Sonny Perdue – A Life Well Lived

Posted on by

The young man listened attentively to his elder offering wise advice. “If you ever hope to have a future in politics, don’t take this appointment.”  

The advisor was referring to an appointment to the Houston County Planning and Zoning Board. The young man was Sonny Perdue. 

Sonny accepted the offer anyway. Thus began a journey in public service that would take him to the gold dome of Georgia’s capitol and a cabinet office in the nation’s capitol. 

I am proud to have been part of that journey with Sonny for the past three decades. Here are just a few recollections from that walk together. 

Sonny and I were both raised in the tiny unincorporated town of Bonaire, Georgia. Although we were from the same town, since Sonny was a little older than I, we didn’t run in the same circles so I never really knew him until he was serving as a state senator. 

I started taking my son, Doug, to the state capitol every year from the time he was 5 years old, to watch the legislature in session.  In 1995 we had just moved to Albany, Georgia. 

On my first visit that year, I looked up my state senator, Mark Taylor and asked Mark if he would introduce me to Sonny Perdue. Mark said that Sonny was the senate majority leader and was one of the most respected members of the Senate. 

Mark Taylor also made a prophetic remark. He said that one day Sonny Perdue would be governor. Little did Mark Taylor know how those words would one day come back to haunt him. 

When I met Sonny and told him who I was, his first comment was about my mother. He paid her one of the highest compliments anyone could receive when he said, “Miss Earline is the conscience of Bonaire.”

Several years prior to that meeting, Sonny Perdue took that appointment to serve on the Planning and Zoning Board. Instead of killing any political future, it got the attention of county leaders. 

When the long-serving state senator Ed Barker decided not to run again, county leaders approached Sonny and asked him to run. Once again, Sonny accepted the offer and was elected to the state senate. 

Sonny quickly rose to a leadership position. His fellow senators elected him as President pro tem, the highest office next to Lieutenant Governor.  

In 1998, Sonny stood at a personal and political crossroads. He was a member of the Democrat party. Because of his position in the Senate, he was also seen as a leader in the party.

There was a problem. The Democrat party was shifting in its platform. There were fewer and fewer conservative planks. 

It was becoming a balancing act and Sonny was growing weary of playing the game. He eventually made a decision that would cost him dearly politically, but, like a modern day Daniel in the lion’s den, allow him to stand on his deeply held convictions. 

Before he qualified to run for re-election in 1998, Sonny changed political parties and ran as a Republican. The people in his district readily re-elected him. 

The problem he faced was that the Democrats were the majority party in the state senate. President pro tem was not only a peer-related position,  it was primarily a politically-related position. 

On top of that, staunch Democrat Mark Taylor was elected as Lieutenant Governor. Mark was going to exact payment for Sonny switching parties. 

The new Lieutenant Governor, controlled committee assignments and office space. Sonny lost his spacious President pro tem office in the capitol. 

Lieutenant. Governor Taylor moved him to insignificant committees. His new office space was a tiny suite of offices across the street shared with several other senators. 

Moses spent forty years in the wilderness of the Middle East. Sonny spent four years in the wilderness of Georgia politics. 

That would all change in 2002. After four years in the minority party in the state senate, Sonny was encouraged by fellow Republicans to run for governor. 

On election night, 2002, Sonny Perdue did what no one thought was possible. He was elected as the first Republican governor of Georgia since reconstruction. 

Sonny was easily re-elected in 2006, beating Mark Taylor in a decisive landslide victory. After serving his second four year term as governor, Sonny went back to his business. 

When Donald Trump was elected as President in 2016, it was time for Sonny to return to public service. This time as a member of President Trump’s cabinet as US Secretary of Agriculture. 

In 2021, Sonny returned to his business and private life again. Once again, he would be called upon to serve the people – this time as Chancellor of the University System of Georgia. 

Last week, Sonny announced that it was time to retire. He will be stepping down as Chancellor when the Board of Regents selects a new Chancellor. 

Sonny Perdue has left a lasting legacy on the people of Georgia and our nation. In a twist of irony, the position on the Houston County Planning and Zoning Board did not ruin his future in politics.  Sonny Perdue never lost a political race. 

Sonny’s family is continuing his legacy in the two areas that influence his life, faith and public service. His son, Jim, is pastor of the 2nd Baptist Church of Warner Robins where Sonny is a member and faithfully attends. His son, Dan, is the Chairman of the Houston County Board of Commissioners. 

Sonny Perdue is returning to private life. His has been a life that is well lived. One day he will hear those blessed words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:21)

If Christ Has Not Been Raised

Posted on by

Easter Sunday is the holy day that cuts through the fog of avoidance with a piercing truth that confronts every one of us. The literal, bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ sets the Christian faith in a class of its own. 

When the Apostle Paul arrived in Corinth, he said he proclaimed one message: that Christ died for our sins, that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day. Paul wrote those words only 20–25 years after the crucifixion. 

Think about your own life 25 years ago. George W. Bush was President. Terrorists attacked the United States on September 11, 2001. Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. The United States invaded Iraq. 

No one has to convince you those events happened. You lived them. You felt them. They are not distant history—they are memory.That is how close Paul was to the resurrection. If we can remember 9/11, they could remember the empty tomb. If we can remember Katrina, they could remember Calvary. Twenty years is not long enough for truth to fade—but it is long enough for truth to spread like fire. And that is exactly what the resurrection did.

The Resurrection in History

The message of the risen Christ exploded across the ancient world while eyewitnesses were still alive—friends and enemies alike. Anyone could investigate the claims. Anyone could challenge them. Yet the movement grew in the very city where Jesus was crucified.

The resurrection did not emerge in the shadows. It was proclaimed in the streets.The resurrection of Jesus Christ turned the world upside down. It changed the course of history. It remains the bottom line, the tip of the spear, the source of life, energy, and abundance in the Christian faith.

The Resurrection in Scripture

In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul throws down the gauntlet of a challenge that still echoes today:“If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.” (1 Corinthians 15:17 ESV) This is not poetic language. It is a line drawn in the sand. 

The Bible does not present the resurrection as a metaphor, a myth, or the memory of a good teacher living on in His followers. Scripture declares plainly:- Jesus literally died on the cross.- He was buried.- On the third day He literally rose from the dead.- He was seen by hundreds.The resurrection is not a doctrine to be softened or reimagined. It is the foundation of the Christian faith.

The Resurrection and You

So here is the question:Do you believe the resurrection with the same confidence that you believe 9/11 happened?  You do not consider September 11 a myth. You do not treat Hurricane Katrina as legend. You know they happened.The power, hope, and assurance of your faith rest on your view of the resurrection. Do you believe it took place just as the Scriptures describe?

A Final Word

The most important question you will ever face comes down to this one event in history. What you decide about the resurrection will shape not only your faith but your eternity. 

The risen Christ does not ask you to ignore your doubts or silence your questions—He invites you to come and see. He invites you to trust the One who conquered death, who still transforms lives, and who offers forgiveness, restoration, and new life to all who believe. 

The tomb is empty. The Savior lives. And He stands ready for you to come to Him today.

A Reasoned Response to an Attack on Rick Jackson

Posted on by

It is open season for political attacks. I normally ignore them and move on.

There is one political attack on Rick Jackson that has generated numerous questions from my friends so I wanted to give a reasoned response to set the record straight.

In a nutshell, Rick Jackson is accused of doing business with Planned Parenthood, doing transgender surgeries, and providing hormone care for transgender care in prisons. These claims are false.

There is a job board specifically for medical providers called LocumTenens. This is an open job board that allows anyone to post jobs for the medical provider community. It functions like zip recruiter.

Jackson’s health care uses this job board. So do numerous other organizations and companies in the medical field.

Rick Jackson has nothing to do with these other companies that post jobs. He does not review resumes, conduct interviews, make job offers, or manage the job posting or the applicants in any way.

These attacks on Rick Jackson make a broad leap from posting of jobs dealing with Planned Parenthood or transgender related medical procedures to Rick Jackson and his company. There is no connection – none.

To say that Rick Jackson had anything to do with these jobs is to fabricate a story out of thin air. It would be like saying that because Walmart sold Styrofoam cups to Planned Parenthood for their coffee room and you also bought Styrofoam cups for your kitchen, that you supported Planned Parenthood.

The matter of transgenderism and Planned Parenthood is a subject that strikes deep. It creates a visceral reaction that does not wait on an answer or explanation.

That is why it is necessary for me to help ratchet down the immediate reaction and provide a reasoned response. There is no basis and there is no truth in these claims that attempt to connect Rick Jackson to Planned Parenthood and transgender procedures and care.

On the contrary, Rick Jackson is firmly pro-life. That is borne out by the fruit of his life, not by political hit pieces.

In 2008,  Rick partnered with an organization called FaithBridge and helped it become one of Georgia’s largest Christ-centered private child-placing agencies.  He also formed the Jackson Family Foundation to help foster children who are transitioning out of foster care.

I fully recognize how sensitive this subject is. You may have said something or posted something on social media when you first heard it. I humbly ask you to take another look at the hit piece through the lens of a reasoned response.

Whether or not you support Rick Jackson for Governor is not the issue here. What is at issue is the character of a good man and how a political hit piece misrepresents his life.

Rick Jackson is not only a good man and a good businessman. He is a great candidate and will make a great governor for Georgia. That is why, without hesitation, I ask you for your vote for Rick Jackson for Governor.

Powerful Biography in a Campaign Song

Posted on by

Rick Jackson rolled out a video the other day for his campaign.  Songs and jingles for campaigns are not unusual. Many candidates come up with something to plant the name of the candidate firmly in the listener’s mind.

This song did that and more. It told a powerful story of the struggles of a child. It told how that child overcame those overwhelming odds to make a life that impacts thousands of lives today.

The song walks you through the first time that Rick drove a car. He could barely see over the dashboard to drive his drunk and passed out mother home. He told of nights at home with literally an empty cupboard.

He was labeled and laughed at and bullied. He was told that he was white trash.

At five years old something led him to walk to a downtown church where he found refuge and a sense of peace. When the world knocked him down, he found the strength to get up and get up again and again and again to keep fighting against the labeling, name calling, bullying, and being told he would never amount to anything.

He tracked his job career from shoeshine boy, to a paper route, to vacuum cleaner salesman, to the Chief Executive of a multibillion dollar company today. He determined to learn life’s valuable lessons even in the lowliest jobs.

Through his experience, he honed the value of one-on-one relationships and a servant’s heart. Rather than accepting the label of a white trash loser, he looked to win and win big.

He was shaped along the way by loving foster parents and later in the United Methodist Children’s Home. “From the hard road to the high road,” he learned and applied what it took to win big.

He related in his song servanthood and putting America first. When Covid hit, he made Georgia the priority for finding medical personnel to fight the deadly disease. He could have easily increased his bottom line profits by turning his business toward New York – but he stuck with Georgia. (He was not running for and had no thought of running for Governor back then.)

China, had a monopoly on medicine production. When they tried to squeeze America, Rick Jackson  bought an American medicine manufacturer and turned it around to keep some medicine production on American soil.

With all of his millions, he never forgot where he came from. He built a successful organization to help foster children when they aged out of foster care.

He sees this run for Governor of Georgia as a drive that calls for strength and clarity. He demonstrates both in his support for law enforcement, families, and the working man.

He is running to win and win big. I like the way he puts it when he says he doesn’t want to be governor. He wants to be a good governor.

Listen to the song here on YouTube. It will move you as much as any patriotic song you’ve ever heard.

If you want to meet Rick in person, he will be making a couple of stops in Southwest Georgia on Friday, March 6 in Blakely and Thomasville. Click on the invites below for more information.

Will the Democrats Stand for Anything?

Posted on by

It was a simple request. Stand up if you agree. Was it so hard to do?

“The first duty of the American government is to protect its citizens, not illegal immigrants.” If you agree, stand up.

Some Democrats had stood, reluctantly, several times during the State of the Union speech. Some refused to stand for anything.

But it was this point in the speech. Every American in the House chambers should have been on their feet. He did not ask them to applaud. He did not ask them to cheer. He just asked them to stand.

There were many memorable moments in the two-hour State of the Union address. There were cheers and applause for the USA Hockey team.

Tears came to my eyes at the reunion of the Venezuelan political prisoner with his niece. They were clearly emotional as well. Trump then told the pair to go enjoy themselves.

One after another the President introduced military heroes and gave them awards. Two received the highest military honor possible, the Congressional Medal of Honor, right on the spot.

He recognized victims of crimes by illegal immigrants to emphasize why he slammed the border shut He explained that that is why he is now aggressively going after hardened criminals who entered our nation illegally.

It was during the speech that he made the simple request to stand. Democrats sat on their hands. It makes me wonder if the Democrats will stand for anything.

Make Them Filibuster

Posted on by

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has an opportunity to pass a measure that 85% of Americans support, the SAVE America Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility). Democrats in the Senate have declared the bill dead on arrival as they know that Republicans cannot get 60 votes to stop a filibuster.

But we need understand the filibuster and the Senate rules. It is not as simple as Democrats want to make it out to be.

Over the years the filibuster has morphed into a matter as simple as handing a note to the clerk of the Senate stating that there is a filibuster on a particular vote. When that happens, all action on the vote comes to a halt and the Senate pivots over to work on other matters.

That was not the original meaning of filibuster. The original practice has been so watered down that today there are two names for the filibuster. The “silent” filibuster is what we are familiar with today. One side just “says filibuster” and that’s it.

The other name is the “standing” or “talking” filibuster. In short, the standing or talking filibuster requires one side to keep talking until one of three things happen: (1) 60 Senators vote to end debate; (2) one side gives up; or (3) the two-times rule is invoked, and the minority runs out of speakers.

Congressman Chip Roy sent a “dear colleague” letter to the Senators explaining how they could pass the SAVE act with a simple majority. (A copy of the letter is at the end of this article.) It will not be easy, but it is possible if our Republican senators will discipline themselves and, as Nike says, “just do it.”

In short, Republicans would have to vote with a simple majority to table any amendment that Democrats bring up and keep tabling amendments. Democrats, on the other hand, would have to keep someone talking the full time. The Senate rules only allow a person to speak twice on any one bill or amendment.

Even if the Democrats stayed fully in lockstep to filibuster, they would eventually come to a point of having no one left to debate and Republicans could end debate and vote on the bill. Sound complicated? It is, but it would be worth it.

Congressman Roy closed his letter with a worst-case scenario. “Democrats filibuster to death an 85% issue like Voter ID and citizen voting in front of the entire country.”

Best case, the bill passes and we have real voter ID for national elections. Senate Republicans, this is a no-brainer. All you need is the discipline to make them filibuster.

Why Vote Early in Senate District 18

Posted on by

If you live in Bibb, Crawford, Houston, Monroe, Peach, or Upson counties, then you may be in Senate District 18. There is a special election runoff that puts Steve McNeel, a Republican against a Democrat in a head-to-head contest.

I encourage you to go vote early. You may ask why. That’s a good question and I’ll give you two quick answers.

First, no one is promised tomorrow. You considere voting to be an important patriotic duty. You probably vote Republican. This ballot has a Republican and a Democrat. There is nothing that will come up between now and Tuesday, February 17 that is going to change your mind. So, there is no reason to put it off.

David and Cynthia Sumrall voting early.

Second, the Republican party, GA Republican Senate Caucus, Steve McNeel’s campaign, and other conservative organizations are working hard to get out all votes. On election day, volunteers will be calling, texting, and reaching out to get voters to the polls. If you vote early, you won’t need a call, and these conservative organizations can focus their attention on those who have not already voted.

We can debate the issue of early and absentee voting. I personally think that there should be one day for voting in person and absentee voting be allowed only for a stated reason. While I hold that opinion, the fact remains that the playing field and rules we operate under allow early voting and no-excuse absentee.

Be assured, the competition is using the early and absentee vote. If we do not use it strategically, then we will lose. This is especially true when there are three weeks of early voting.

I ask you to do two things. Both are simple and cost nothing.

First, go vote early. Get your vote in and take someone with you to go vote.

Second, if you are on social media, then post a photo of you wearing your, “I voted” sticker. You influence others and when they see you, they are more likely to go vote. I’m proud to post two photos of Republican leaders in Senate District 18. Dave Sumrall is the former Republican Party Chairman of Bibb County and Wade Yoder is a Peach County Commissioner.

It is especially important in this election because we are in a special election cycle for one race in a runoff. Let’s face it, going to vote is not high on the news and conversation list right now. That is why, like Dave Sumrall and Wade Yoder, you need to lead by example and let others see you voting early.

So, now that you have read this, go vote. If you don’t get it done early, then by all means get to your polling place on February 17 and, if you live in the district, vote for Steven McNeel, Republican in Senate District 18.

Rick Jackson – He is for Real

Posted on by

Rick Jackson showed up in the Republican Georgia gubernatorial race like a tornado swooping into Southwest Georgia. I checked him out. He is for real.

You need to spend a little time and take a close look at this candidate. I have included the campaign introduction video (3 1/2 minutes) and Jackson’s first speech as a candidate (25 minutes). Take a few minutes to listen to him.

Let me share with you what I learned from listening to him and checking him out with people who know him. The title of this article sums it up best – he is for real.

It is not only what he says, but how he says it. I watched his speech and listened to him carefully. I saw a firm, resolute, calm strength and character that developed over years of testing and trials that most of us will never experience.

Rick Jackson grew up in the projects and foster homes. His life was influenced by living with a Christian family and later in the United Methodist Children’s Home.

An article in TwoTen Magazine from ten years ago told his story. When this article was written a decade ago, he was not running for anything. He did not need anything. He just had a committment to help those who had no voice, children in foster care.

That article told how, at five years old, he walked to Sunday School at a church in downtown Atlanta. Living in a foster home, he experienced a family praying before a meal. It was so foreign to him that he could not process the love and faith of that family.

In his first speech, he said that his company’s main cultural value is “Others First.” I checked the Best Places to Work website and found that 90% of his nearly 2500 employees said that it is a great place to work compared to 57% at a typical US based company.

At one point in the speech when he spoke of his addressing a senate committee about foster care, you could see the powerful conviction welling up in him. It caused him to pause for a moment to catch his composure. That kind of reaction cannot be manufactured. He summed up his Others First values:

“The system forgets the people who don’t have money, power, privilege or fame, not those who need it. Right then, I committed to do everything I could to help those without a voice, without a lobbyist, without a checkbook to make their voice heard.”

He did not have to say that he felt a calling to run for Governor. It was evident in his whole being as he spoke. He laid out his vision to make Georgia the the most affordable state in the nation.

His commitment is to freeze property taxes and slash the income tax by 50% in four years. In eight years he strives to eliminate the income tax all together.

He wants to freeze tuition, room and board for state higher education. He wants to tackle the cost of home ownership.

He addresses the “woke nonsense and complete insanity. “ He says that if Christianity cannot be taught then neither will this ideology find a place in Georgia’s public schools.

There won’t be any boys playing in girls sports or in the girls bathrooms and locker rooms. “There are two genders and they are God-given.” He went farther to say that anyone pushing this ideology will not be just stopped but will be held accountable.

He says that there will not be a stronger supporter of the 2nd amendment. From his own personal experience growing up, he is a passionate supporter of law enforcement. I like the way he said that he will make Georgia the worst place in the nation for criminals.

I went beyond what I could find in research and checked with some of those who know him. One commented, “I know of his genuine faith.”

Rick Jackson is for real. I will be proud to give him my vote and have him as my governor. Check him out and I believe you will too.
