Quite a day at the Capitol! Almost 100 supporters came
out! I think Glenda Anderson wins the
prize for longest drive - all the way from Savannah. We were limited to about
20 in the governor's office for the photo, but thank you everyone for packing
his waiting room - and he knew all of you were there.
Photos with Governor Deal are now online: http://photos.gov.georgia.gov/GovernorNathanDeal/September-2012/91912-Photo-ops/25462286_Rd6q4M#!i=2097213021&k=sqjcMFJ
Let me know if you have personal photos of the event we
can share on SGA's Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23288207@N04/
Kaye Minchew did a great job for us as she asked the
Governor for his support in keeping the Archives open! We handed over your
letters of support and the 10,000 petition signatures. We were very pleased the
AJC and Clayton County reporters were able to be the governor's office with us
to confirm that he said he will keep the Archives open:
What does the governor mean by "open"?? We need
to tell him "open" means public hours and professional archival
staff! The governor and your legislators have to hear from their constituents
in Georgia that "open" does not mean appointments only with 3
full-time staff to handle the entire state archives operations.
Keep making noise! People are paying attention. To locate
your representatives, see http://soga.org/involvement/legislative
Thank you,
Marie Force
SGA President
