By Charlice Byrd:
Last week, my husband and I went out to eat a simple breakfast in our Woodstock neighborhood. We had eggs, sausage, grits, toast and coffee. The bill with tip was $32.
Later that day a female friend called, complaining how she could no longer afford a lunch away from home. Her turkey sandwich in Alpharetta that day was $17 and sweet tea was $4.
Women across Georgia, especially single moms, widows and other heads of households, often are the ones managing the family budget. They know what it costs to survive as they buy groceries, care for children and plan outings.
But in today’s economy, it is getting virtually impossible for women and their families to leave the house for a meal even as simple as fast food at McDonald’s without forking as much money as it once cost to cover a bag of groceries.
Inflation has been an endless nightmare since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office, thanks to their uncontrolled spending on unnecessary programs such as green energy and foreign wars.
That is why, on Tuesday, you saw many women tell their stories when former President Donald Trump participated in a women’s issues forum with Fox News in Cumming. Georgia women believe he is the only candidate in the presidential race able to restore our economy and make women and their families feel safe again.
With Trump’s proposals to make the 2017 income tax cuts permanent, eliminate the income tax on Social Security, abolish the income tax on tips and immediately ramp up domestic energy production, Georgia women believe there will be a rapid path to economic recovery instead of more prolonged economic agony under Harris.
It hurts moms to have to deny their children extracurricular activities when there is not enough money in the family budget. They are so disappointed to tell them they cannot afford beach vacations or visits to theme parks because the price of groceries, utilities, gasoline, insurance and other essentials continue to skyrocket under the Biden-Harris administration.
Georgia women also support Trump because they are terrified not only for their own safety but the safety of their children. Deaths from fentanyl overdoses are no longer something that happen only in the inner city. Too many parents in metro Atlanta suburbs are grieving the loss of their children from drug overdoses, including the parents of a 15-year-old girl who died of an overdose at Dunwoody High School in May.
In addition, women are frightened their daughters may become the latest young woman to go missing because of the escalation of human trafficking now that this criminal enterprise has escalated thanks to an open border.
The open border policy of the Biden-Harris administration has led to millions of illegal immigrants in our country since 2020, with untold numbers of criminals roaming freely in states, including Georgia.
Only Trump has pledged to deport these illegal immigrants who have been let into our nation without proper vetting, endangering all citizens and raising the alarms of women who want to protect themselves and their children.
Because of the fear of migrant-imported crime, women are increasingly purchasing guns to protect themselves. In 2021, the National Shooting Sports Foundation reported that there had been record-high gun sales, and women accounted for a record 40% of those sales. This year, that number might be even higher.
For too long, Harris, Democrats and the media have relentlessly focused on abortion as the most important topic to women. As a woman, a lawmaker, an aunt and sister, I want to call them out on this misguided distraction.
Worrying about draining your checkbook before getting paid each month — and about crime, the economy and making sure your loved ones are always safe — are by far the most important issues of our time.
Despite the endless campaign commercials and rhetoric, Georgia women will turn out in record numbers to elect Trump as our 47th president. Their momma bear instinct will drive them to the polls to help make life better for the ones they love.

2024 Ballot Initiatives
We have received a lot of questions on the ballot initiatives. This year there are 2 proposed constitutional amendments and 1 proposed ballot referendum. Much like we provide legislative analysis to the Georgia Freedom Caucus, we are providing the public with analysis on these initiatives. See below.
Recently, we had the pleasure of spending time with retired General and former Trump National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn!
It was truly a pleasure to spend time with General Flynn and get his input on our movement!
