Civil Right Groups Want Boggs Up nd Out

Questions have been raised when it comes to the nominees of federal state bench. Michael Boggs, a supreme court judge, nominee selection has been problem for the Civil Right groups of America. Civil Rights leaders have made it their agenda to get this nomination striped from Judge Boggs.  In 2001 Boggs voted to keep the confederate represented flag also known as Georgia's original state flag. Civil Rights leaders have reached out to the highest hierarchy of the White House to make this plan a success.

Boggs has been appointed numerous judicial positions in his career throughout Georgia. While holding his position as State Representative to the General Assembly in 2001, Judge  Boggs was one of the 82 voters in the situation to keep the confederate symbol on the Georgia flag. This made the minorities most of all ,African Americans, suspicious of Boggs decision making as judge in the court system. 

Although the topic in the media has been the negative on Michael Boggs, I believe there has to be a  reason that he is even considered for the position on the bench. The Georgia Court of Appeals Judge and former Georgia House of Representatives member for three consecutive years has undoubtedly qualified himself for the position nominated to him.

 Civil Right Groups have made attempts to the White House to see that Boggs does not become a nominees to the federal bench in Georgia. I believe that the civil right group are doing the right thing in speaking up for this cause because that vote right there could have made an impression on a lot of African American Georgians that could not put their trust in Boggs knowing he is a judge and state leader for Georgia.

The public should have a say so in all the positions chosen in the State government that affect their well being. If not this may well give citizens the idea that our government leaders are not really " For The People".

White House cut a deal with the state's Republican senators on judicial nominees , this is why The White House is taking so much heat from the public and Civil Right groups. Civil Rights leaders have made attempts to speaks with President Obama as well as Michael Boggs himself but have failed on both attempts. No comments have been reported from the White House concerning this event but the media spotlight on the subject will not go unheard by The White House. 

The daily report news article reported that , "Nominees for federal judgeship's usually avoid public comment under protocols set by the White House and Congress."

The Republican deal put Georgia's minority citizens at an uneasy state because they know the goals of the Republicans are not set up to work in their favor. Michael Boggs' republican influenced decision back in 2001 has came back as a negative affect on his career.

I believe that the state citizens' opinions should be taken into consideration because with Boggs on the federal bench in Georgia this would make citizens uncomfortable with his decision making. I think that if these Civil Rights groups took this time out to contact the White House then this was a heavy issue in their opinion, and it should be handled as such.

Civil Right Groups Want Boggs Up nd Out

This article is about Civil Rights groups speaking out and acting against the nomination of  court of appeal Judge Micheal Boggs. The civil rights groups are adiment about not allowing Boggs his seat on the bench. In 2001 Boggs voted to keep the confederate represented flag also known as Georgia's original state flag. This shows to the people that he is for the confederacy ways and is not about making a Georgia a better place for all. Civil Right Groups have made attempts to the White House to see that Boggs does not become a nominees to the federal bench in Georgia. I believe that the civil right group are doing the right thing in speaking up for this cause because that vote right there could have made an impression on a lot of African American Georgians that could not put their trust in Boggs knowing he is a judge and state leader for Georgia. I believe that the public's opinion should be taken into consideration because with him on the federal bench in Georgia this would make citizens uncomfortable with his decision making. I think that if these Civil Rights gropus took this time out to contact the White House then this was a heavy issue in their opinion.

Government Shutdown Affects Georgia's Infants

By: Andrew Hall

Georgia federal funded companies have taken a hit in this current government shutdown. The government shutdown has affected road work, jobs , and WIC are programs in Georgia that are being affected greatly by the government's actions. Unlike SNAP, otherwise known as "food stamps" program the government will not be providing funds for parents of infants needing WIC assistance.

No new applicants may apply to the program, while the clients who are already approved will be provided with services through the reserve funds until those funds run out. This will put a lot of new parents in a difficult position when it comes to providing proper nutrition for their children.

The WIC program that is being cut off due to the government shutdown affects many women, children, and infants that need this service to provide nutrition.. The WIC program allows families to get free nutritional foods for their children and infants. These healthy food choices are expensive and not always able to purchase due to individual financial standings. 

I believe that for the government to be taking things away from the citizens shouldn't start with taking away nutrition from our children because they sure did not cut the prison systems food or the government officials pay.

According to library.clerk.house.gov/reference-files, House Of Representatives report an average salary of $1,446,009.10. They should think about taking a cut in their pay other than taking nutritional foods out of the mouths of upcoming American infants and babies. Obesity is at an all time high in America and this is doing nothing but enabling the problem. 


Georgia Health News, a nonprofit health journalism group, reported in August that Georgia was 20th in obese states in America. Taking nutrition out of the children's diet early will give them no future knowledge of proper foods to eat for those who cannot afford proper nutrition. 


How does the government take away a service funded by the state and then strip citizens of their state jobs, just does not feel like justice and proper decision making.


This WIC program being cut affects Americans from infants to adults when the goal for the government is to provide the public with a better life not a more difficult one. So in the end I feel that the government could have found a better program to cut other than this one because I do not see any good concluding from out of work employees, struggling parents, and unhealthy children.

Government Shutdown Affects Georgia's Infants

This article is about the WIC program that is being cut off due to the government shutdown. This effects many women, children, and infants that need this service to provide for their family. The WIC program allows families to get free nutritional foods for their children and infants. These healthy food choices are expensive and not able to be purchased due to individual financial standings. On average formula milk cost $15 dollars a can and when you use more than 2 per day this can start to add up and be a problem as in most cases. I believe that for the government to be taking things away from the citizens shouldn't start with taking away nutrition from our children because they sure did not cut the prison systems food or the government officails pay. But America needs to know that each state will have different process. Georgia is saying that they will take on no new clients but will provide for their existing clients until their resources run out. But in places as Utah that have a safety net fund being used after the government cuts their WIC program. This also affects the workers of these Georgia WIC programs, who will be sent on a leave until the government gets things together. So in the end I feel that the government could have found a better program to cut other than this one because I dont see any good coming out of out of work employees, struggling parents, and unhealthy children.
