Jim Crow segregation was bipartisan. The refusal of women suffrage was bipartisan. The denial of the basic dignity of members of the LGBTQ community has long been bipartisan. The Three-Fifths Compromise was the creation of a punitive national unity at the expense of black people's basic humanity.
I have a tough-minded view of the world.
We have to be able to protect the homeland, and we have to be able to restrain evil in the world.
The Freedom Riders literally put their lives and limbs on the line in order to bring about an America that lives up to its own stated ideals. They are nothing short of American patriots, and honoring them more than 60 years after their historic acts is the least we can do.
Senator Isakson represented the best of our state and our country. He was known for putting Georgia first, and for working across the aisle to get things done.
I enjoyed spending time with Senator Isakson, especially every year when he would join Ebenezer Baptist Church for our annual celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Without a doubt, Senator Isakson cared deeply for Georgia, and he cared deeply for our country.
Senator Isakson dedicated years of service to our beloved state, to our veterans, our families, and our children.
See Georgia is always on my mind. I was born in the state, educated in this state, and it is the honor of my life to represent my state - represent every part of our state, including the business community.
