	Sonny Lied
		Perdue affirmed to me, face to face, during the primary campaign and also during the general election campaign, that he would have a referendum and allow the voters to choose between the 1956 state flag and the Roy Barnes state flag.
		It is odd that Perdue listened to the people named by the C of C, because they and the corporations they run/own were major contributors to Barnes, in 2002.
		When Perdue was speaking in Toccoa in April this year our publisher R. Moore spoke to the lying governor and asked him "which flags will we be able to vote on?" Perdue said "the pre 56 flag and the 56 flag and the Barnes flag" Mr.

	Stephen Moore on Sonny Perdue & Taxation on NRO Financial
		If Republicans in the legislature vote for the Perdue budget, the Georgia GOP could be banished for another 100 years — kicked into political oblivion, and deservedly so.
		Perdue doesn’t seem to understand that Georgia, as with most every state this year, has a chronic overspending problem — not a revenue-shortfall problem.
		My suspicion is that if the Perdue tax hike were put to a vote of the people it would be soundly defeated.

	Gov. Sonny Perdue (GA) suspends gas tax - Sean Hannity Discussion
		Sonny Perdue today announced a suspension in the collection of state gas taxes, a move that would bring down prices on fuel currently selling for about $3 per gallon in the metro area.
		Perdue said he expects stations to cut prices within a few hours of the moratorium taking effect.
		Perdue and lawmakers say the state can probably afford the loss of $75 million without having to make major budget cuts because officials have been taking in far more than expected from gas taxes the past few months.

	PUREPOLITICS.COM -Sonny Perdue "Have Fun"

		Perdue mentioned that he hopes to use his experiences in the legislature to benefit Georgians as Governor.
		Q: "Saturdays with Sonny" is probably one of the only programs in the country where a governor sets aside time to meet with people of his or her state.

	Dean's World: Sonny Perdue, Racist?
		As Perdue borrowed the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous oratory -- "Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we're free at last!" -- to underscore the end of Democratic Party dominance in Georgia, one of Perdue's supporters, standing in the background, waved a flag emblazoned with the Confederate battle emblem.
		Perdue is a decent man who does not have a reputation for racial divisiveness.
		Turning Perdue's discomfort with such heavy emphasis on such a minor issue into "backpedaling," furthermore, is exactly the type of "politics of personal destruction" that so many people claim to hate.
