Voting In Richmond County On Election Day – Austin’s Daily Commentary

Author Austin Rhodes

Austin talks about voting in Richmond County.

Transcript:

Austin: I believe we’ve done a pretty good job of communicating the important issues on the ballot. Today, Tuesday, Election Day, we’ve told you very clearly that if you are pulling a ballot in Richmond County, you need to pull a Democratic ballot so you can vote against Richard Roundtree, the most dangerous sheriff we’ve ever had. Certainly the worst in my lifetime. And that includes the guy who went to jail, by the way.

Also, we’ve got to do our best to get Jared Williams out of office. The worst D.A. that we’ve had in my lifetime. And that includes a guy who probably should have gone to jail. Bottom line, they make Agusta less safe, and you need to vote for their opponents to make Augusta a better place.

By the way, there’s another race that you need to remember as well. And that’s the race that John Barrow is running for state Supreme Court running against Justice Pinson, who’s done a good job and who appreciates his role as a Supreme Court justice for the state, interpreting the Constitution and protecting what he believes and what many believe are the constitutional rights, not only in the state but also in the country.

John Barrow has been campaigning that he is going to go a different route, protecting a woman’s right to choose, even though the Supreme Court of the United States says that unless it’s spelled out specifically, there is no inherent right to choose an abortion. They did that in Roe v Wade, citing privacy concerns and a woman’s right to privacy.

Folks, you no more have a right to an abortion via privacy rights than you do a right to have heroin. For your own personal use, citing privacy rights. If an abortion is to take place or if it’s a legal abortion is to take place, it has to be a right specifically granted by the Constitution of the United States. Period. It’s a very specific act.

Well, John Barrow doesn’t agree with that. And he’s going to use his position of a justice of the Georgia Supreme Court to, go his own way. The good news is, I hope people in the state of Georgia are smarter than that. Certainly they should be.

Vote John Barrow out of office yet again. Show him the door. We’ve done it before. We can do it again. And remember to vote for Justice Benson for Supreme Court over John Barrow. My goodness gracious. Are we still telling that man no? Yes we are. And that’s the comment. Get out and vote.  and that’s. Come out and get out and vote. I’m Austin Rhodes. 95.1 FM News Talk WGAC.
