It has come to my attention that radio commercials are being run at the very last minute in the Runoff Election in State Senate District 50 which not only are untrue but represent a desperate attempt to change the outcome of the election.

I refer specifically to commercials which attack personally one of the candidates, Nancy Schaefer. No person or persons identify themselves as the source or take responsibility for this sleazy attempt to smear both the public record and the patriotism of Mrs. Schaefer.

As a former Georgia state chairman of the Republican Campaign Committee who genuinely cares about the healthy development of two party politics in Georgia, I personally find this smear campaign reprehensible.

This is not something Republicans do under the 11th Commandment so well developed by President Reagan. It is more like the devious stunts pulled by left wing liberals who attempt to distort the truth in hopes of influencing elections in favor of their own leftist ambitions.

It is particularly disturbing to me that this nameless and shameful group of people would attack both Mrs. Schaefer and the League of the South as somehow being a hate group. This is straight out of the widely discredited Southern Poverty Law Center whose main mission is to destroy our Constitutional Republic.

This [the SPLC] is the organization that wants all religious symbols removed from public view. They oppose prayer in schools. This is the organization that is pushing for open borders and increased illegal immigration throughout America. The Southern Poverty Law Center is the main litigant in the effort to remove The Ten Commandments from all public view. It is the same organization that is pushing for the legalization of homosexual marriages. In short, the Southern Poverty Law Center and those who parrot its propaganda have nothing to do with poverty. They are a danger to a government of laws and advocate a secular and leftist government of men.

The Georgia Heritage Coalition is compelled to speak out on behalf of members of over a dozen patriotic, heritage, religious and veterans organizations whose members individually make up our ranks. We have proudly endorsed the election of Nancy Schaefer who exemplifies the liberties we so faithfully follow.
