and then the GA repubs redistricted him and then he moved to another district and got reelected and got more conservative and then had to move from Athens to Savannah and got even more right wing.

So, John FUCK YOU. I've had a beer with you on election nights here in your hometown. You were one of our progressive county commissioners. I have spent many hours talking politics with you. But now, you and your fucking Harvard Law degree can go fuck yourselves,

Sincerely,

your former constituent, A MAD AS HELL WOMAN.

FU John. You fucked over your hometown and your state,

Your mama and daddy would ashamed of you if they were still alive to see what you are doing now.
