Barry Loudermilk Turned Down a Chance to Protect YOUR Freedom

There's a movement afoot to limit your ability to own property and be given the due process of law. Barry Loudermilk had the opportunity to stop it from coming to GA and turned his back.

Our elected officials promise us they'll fight for our individual freedoms and liberties, especially when they're courting us for our vote. Did you know that a certain former state senator, who is now running for congress had the opportunity to protect our private property rights and protection of due process here in GA. Any guesses? It's Barry Loudermilk.

Back in 2009 when he was in the state senate, he was approached and asked to sponsor a bill similar to the one that was passed in Alabama, one that limits the reach of the UN's controversial resolution named Agenda 21. If you're not familiar with Agenda 21, I'll explain more about it in a moment. Just know that the then, Senator Loudermilk, agreed to sponsor a bill to protect our property and due process rights and then dropped the ball, making it too late to find another legislator to sponsor the bill! While with his lips, Barry agreed to sponsor such a crucial piece of legislation, his actions said otherwise. He put off the attempts to get something started, namely pre-filing the bill with the clerk. His reason for not pre-filing? He said it was because he said he "didn't want the press to get ahold of it." What we now know is that Barry didn't want his name, or his congressional campaign, associated with such a controversial issue. Shame on you Barry! When GA needed you most, you let us down!

"Humanity stands at a defining moment in history. We are confronted with a perpetuation of disparities between and within nations, a worsening of poverty, hunger, ill health and illiteracy, and the continuing deterioration of the ecosystems on which we depend for our well-being." This is a quote taken from United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda 21.

While this agenda seems harmless, the means by which the UN will achieve equality and eco-friendliness by taking away our ability to own property as well as our ability to fight for freedom in the courts. If you believe in this type of income equality, just know the high standard of living we now enjoy will be drastically lowered. There'll be no freedom to do or live as we want. We will be told what to do and in exchange our basic needs will be met. Ever watch an episode of House Hunters on HGTV when they go to some socialistic country? They don't live very well.

This Agenda 21 example is just one more instance where Barry Loudermilk could have done something more than stand on his platitudes! At this dire moment in our history, can we really risk giving him another opportunity to practice what he preaches? I think not!
