Ray McBerry Campaign Update
Before I give you the latest email from the campaign I wanted to add a couple of my own thoughts. All of us who care about liberty need to back Ray. A victory for him would send shock waves through out the Republic and send the pundits scurrying for the hillsides. We’ve already lost one opportunity with the defeat of Medina in Texas. Big government, nanny-statism won with Perry’s primary victory. Let’s not squander this opportunity to put a champion of liberty into the governorship of Georgia.
Dear Friends,Please take a moment to participate in this Money Bomb that has been put together for Ray McBerry… the leading States’ Rights candidate for governor of any state in America!A contribution of even $10 or $20 from everyone on this list would be a huge boost to the number of television and radio commercials that we can run between now and the Republican primary in Georgia!

A win for Ray is a State Sovereignty victory for America!!!
Please forward this to every friend and email list you have ASAP!
Sincerely,
Your Georgia First Team for Ray McBerry

CAMPAIGN CALENDAR
This is our latest update on activities and events for the upcoming week. We hope that you’ll be able to tune in or come out and participate where possible. You are encouraged to bring someone along that has not yet heard the McBerry message of States’ Rights and how it offers to be the bulwark against an out of control federal leviathan, something no other candidate for governor has had the courage to speak to the people of Georgia about. Sharing this message with those savvy enough to appreciate it is how we seek to win this race. You can play a seriously instrumental role in this process by making sure that those with whom you come in contact have an opportunity to hear an articulate Statesman seeking to lead Georgia.

A message from Jon Hodges, Campaign Finance Director…
Georgia stands at a crossroads of sorts. We can blaze a trail back to the founder’s ideals for our state, or we can choose to continue on a path that will lead us to idolatry…where the State becomes our messiah. We have made more leaps toward radical messianic statism in this state and in our country over the last 4-5 years than most of us care to think about. You can help us take the lead in this fight for constitutionally limited government, and we can do so with a leader like Ray McBerry. Ray is the only candidate that understands the mechanisms to upholding State Sovereignty, he is also the only candidate that has the backbone to stand firm in the face of Federal encroachments. Your financial contributions mean that more and more Georgians will hear the message of Freedom.
Please consider giving a generous donation of $50, $100, $500,or $1,000.
“The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.” - George Washington, addressing the Continental Army before the battle of Long Island 8/27/1776.
