Moore urges Georgia representatives: Don’t vote Mccarthy as House Speaker
Georgia senator-elect Colton Moore is weighing in on Republican Kevin Mccarthy’s bid to become U.S. House speaker, calling on conservative U.S. representatives from Georgia to choose someone other than Mccarthy.
The speaker of the U.S. House, Moore says, has a tremendous amount of power and that matters for everyone in the country.
The speaker position, held by Nancy Pelosi (D-CA, Dist. 12) until she recently resigned, empowers the holder to prevent legislation from being considered and people from being heard. And, says Moore, the speaker is third in line to become president should something happen to the president and vice president.
That’s why, Moore says, he is calling on U.S. House members from Georgia to oppose the selection of Mccarthy as speaker.
Mccarthy is a Republican from California, representing District 23. Moore says Mccarthy worked against conservative, freedom-promoting Republicans during 2022 primaries to try to keep them from ever coming before voters in the general election.
“Mccarthy poured money and power into fighting Joe Kent in Washington and Anthony Sabatini in Florida,” says Moore, “in favor of less conservative candidates who would be more supportive of him.”
“The next Speaker of the House,” says Moore,
“needs to be prepared to take on the rogue Biden regime headfirst with a plan to secure our southern border, combat inflation, and stop the violence in our streets.”
Further, Moore says we need a leader who will reinstate a House rule that Nancy Pelosi ended — the option to “vacate the Speaker” or to vote the speaker out of his or her position.
“We are really proud of this project,” says Huhn. “It’s wonderful to be able to provide a comprehensive guide to the community that gives residents a near one-stop shop for where to look when information is needed.”
City resident Alyssa Kile says she’s looking forward to getting her calendar. “It helps me keep track of trash days and others things.”
Huhn says the whole staff comes together to determine what information should be included in the calendar. She says it contains much more this year than last and that she foresees
improving it every year.
One change this year includes the photographs contributed by people in the community: a snowy Barnhardt Circle, an aerial view of the ballfields, Constitution Hall with two strategically placed police cars out front, the pool, Honor Park from above, a sweet little patriotic overalls-clad toddler in July, the LFO sign in front of the school, a cannon in the Battlefield with a misty background, a city parade with a big American flag held aloft between two fire trucks, and a giant Christmas tree at the new Stable 41 Farmers Market.
And this year, the calendar features Fort Oglethorpe’s new logo, which lends itself to being adapted for
certain events or parts of the city like the historic district.
“Much of the credit for and success of this project goes to Chief Keith Sewell and our projects administrator Bryan Perry,” says Huhn. “It’s not easy to keep long-term projects at the top of your to-do list when the day-to-day work has to get done. However, both of these gentlemen kept this project top of mind all year and our beautiful 2023 calendar is the result. I am so grateful to them for their dedication to this project.”
“I am also very thankful to the staff,” Huhn says, “who has volunteered to help with delivery. Each day between now and the end of the year, we have different employees signed up to deliver to various
sections of Fort Oglethorpe. Even though it’s only our second year doing this, it’s already a favorite project of
ours. In fact, I’m afraid that we’ll have so many volunteers that I won’t be able to get a delivery shift!”
