Recently, the Georgia Senate passed a

resolution calling for a Constitutional
Convention where states would have broad
power to amend the United States Constitution.
Do you support or oppose convening a
convention to rewrite the United States
Constitution?

Some people say that the Georgia state

income tax should be repealed and replaced
with an increase in the sales tax on goods and
services. Supporters say this would improve
the economy and encourage people to save
more by taxing spending. Opponents say this
would result in higher taxes for middle- and
working-class Georgians, while cutting taxes
for corporations and the wealthy. Having heard
this, would you say you support or oppose the
Georgia state income tax being repealed and
replaced with an increase in the sales tax on
goods and services?

accepting the Medicaid funding?
