Seeing the new flag, I decided to write this to the govenor:

Sonny,

The #1 thing I like about the proposed flag is adding “In God We Trust.” 99.99% of Georgians should be unified under that phrase– white, black, christian, muslim, male, or female. We have freedom *OF* religion in America (and yes freedom from religion.)

As for the 1956 flag, I was born in 1961 and grew up thinking our flag looked better than most state flags, sharing the red, white, and blue and stars and bars of the American flag.

The ’56 flag is a good looking flag, but I am not proud of the circumstances under which it was installed. Those who want to honor the Confederacy are free to fly the Confederate Flag, for example in Confederate cemetaries.

Thanks for keeping your campaign promise to let the people decide. I did not like the way Barnes forced a decision without the input of all Georgians.

IN GOD WE TRUST!
