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.
