"Georgians have survived some of the toughest economic times in recent history. The
sacrifices and hard work of families like yours and mine gave helped out communities get
by. It is no longer enough for us to simply get by; it is time for our economy, communities,
and families to thrive. All Georgians deserve the opportunity to provide for themselves and
their family members." |
