Sen. Crotts deserves the gratitude

of all Fayette Countians who still see marriage as the union only of a

male and a female.

In favor of letting Georgians

vote on this most fundamental of issues also were Fayette Sen. Mitch Seabaugh

and state representatives Lynn Westmoreland and John Yates.

At least four elected "servants"

misrepresented their constituents in Fayette County.

Three of the mis-representatives

are in the 48th House district, which covers roughly the northern half

of Fayette, from above Tyrone to just below Fayetteville.

In addition, thanks to King

Roy Barnes and the Democrats' demented redistricting plan, it also

includes a piece of Clayton County and the southern part of Fulton County,

from East Point all the way over to the Carroll and Douglas county lines.

Four politicians represent

that misbegotten district, and three of them voted against traditional

marriage. They are Post 1's Bob Holmes (D-Atlanta), Post 3's

Joe Heckstall (D-East Point) and Post 4's Virgil Fludd (D-Fairburn).

Post 2's Sharon Beasley-Teague (D-Fairburn) skipped the first vote

last week.

And that brings us to our lone

Fayette resident responsible for this slap in the face of the majority,

a mis-representative who betrayed his constituents' deeply held beliefs,

indeed their very fundamental right to vote.

Rep. Fludd was one of the House

members who voted against letting voters have any voice in the future

of marriage. He lives in Fayette, but has a Fairburn address. He is the

chairman of the Fayette County delegation.

Remember that those who oppose

traditional marriage have one thing in common: They are all Democrats.

Here are Rep. Fludd's

contact numbers, for those who might want to encourage him to pay some

attention to his constituents before next election:

State Senator Valencia Seay

voted against the constitutional amendment to forbid legal recognition

of gay marriages.

The College Park legislator

is supposed to take into consideration the views of the people who put

her in office. That includes everybody who lives in the northern half

of Fayette, from just north of Tyrone diagonally southeastward to just

below Fayetteville.

Sen. Seay's legislative

e-mail address is [email protected]. Her office phone is 404-656-5095.

Her office fax is 404-463-7783. Her district office phone is 770-909-0268.

Contact Sen. Seay to let her

know you are disappointed in her cavalier dismissal of three millennia

of human experience.

The measure passed the Senate

despite her opposition.

At election time, remember

these names and what they have done to you and to your children and to

your children's children.

Sen. Seay and reps. Fludd,

Holmes and Heckstall have fought against traditional marriage and have

taken away your right to vote whether to maintain society's basic

unit as it has been understood for more than 20 centuries.

At election time, remember

what the so-called Democratic Party is trying to take away from Georgians:

The right to vote on your own constitution.

Remember your right to vote.
