Updated — Referendum possible on Sunday alcohol sales in Georgia
Update from Atlanta, GA, May 8, 2008 — Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle now says he’s willing to let the state Senate act on a referendum that would allow voters to decide whether stores may sell alcohol on Sunday. Brief story here. Good coverage on the issue here.
If you agree that the current statewide ban on Sunday alcohol sales is an inappropriate intrusion into the lives of Georgians, and want to help change it, please consider signing this online petition urging the General Assembly to pass S.B. 138 and Governor Sonny Perdue to sign it. You might also consider contacting your Georgia state senator to let him or her know you support the bill, want your right to drink free of state interference, and don’t want to live in a nanny state. Finally, consider a telephone call to Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle’s office at 404-656-5030. More information on the Vote Sunday Sales website as well as this group on Facebook.
