Garrett who?
To the Editor:

If you are like most Georgians you will stay home on election day, rather than trek to the polls to cast your vote. If you are like most Georgians you will complain (in most cases, justifiably) that there is no real difference between the major candidates for the various offices, and you probably feel that it doesn't make any difference who wins anyway. You're right: most Democrats and Republicans like to distinguish themselves ideologically, but judging them by their actions, "there isn't a dime's worth of difference" (wasn't it Alabama Governor George Wallace who first said that?). If you are like most Georgians, you have never heard of Garrett Hayes - or Allen Buckley, Kevin Madsen, David Chastain, Jack Cashin, Paul MacGregor, Kevin Cherry, Jim Sendelbach, or John Monds, and I would not be surprised if you are wondering, in the words of Butch Cassidy, "Who are those guys?" Well, Garrett Hays is the Libertarian candidate for Governor; Allen Buckley is the Libertarian candidate for Lt. Governor; Kevin Madsen is the Libertarian candidate for Secretary of State; David Chastain is the Libertarian candidate for State School Superintendent; Jack Cashin is the Libertarian candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture, and they will all be on the ballot in Union County. MacGregor, Cherry, Sendelbach, and Monds are Libertarian candidates for local elected positions in other parts of the state, so they won't be on the ballot in Union County. My point in mentioning these candidates is to inform stay-at-home Georgians, who will not go to the polls to vote because they are tired of having to pick the "lesser of two evils" between Democrat and Republican candidates, that next month, they will have another choice. If you are like most Georgians you are interested in less government growth, less spending, less taxes, less regulation, and more individual liberty. Those are also Libertarian goals, so now you have a reason to go to the polls and vote.
