Scorecards!
Presented below is a comprehensive legislative scorecard that meticulously assesses the voting patterns of the Georgia General Assembly during the 2023 legislative session. This scorecard aims to provide you with valuable insights into the decision-making tendencies of your elected representatives.
Throughout the legislative process in Georgia, there is a noticeable and disturbing trend among legislators to overwhelmingly vote "YES" on nearly everything. In fact, some members have adopted a default stance of voting affirmatively, casting a "YES" vote an astounding 100% of the time. This prevailing culture of unwavering support for all legislative measures has cultivated an environment where dissenting voices are often disregarded, dismissed as ineffective, and marginalized within the General Assembly. As a result, this scorecard aptly reflects a substantial number of "NO" positions, which serve as a testament to the reality of opposing prevailing ideologies.
While it is important to acknowledge that there are indeed commendable bills that deserve unanimous support, it is equally crucial to recognize that true courage in the legislative realm lies in challenging flawed legislation rather than simply voting affirmatively on popular proposals. While both aspects of the legislative process hold significance, the scorecard effectively underscores the importance of opposing unfavorable measures, shedding light on the commitment and fortitude required to resist ill-conceived bills.
By delving into this comprehensive legislative scorecard, you will gain invaluable insights into the voting tendencies of Georgia's lawmakers during the 2023 legislative session. This scorecard serves as an indispensable tool for evaluating the extent to which legislators prioritize defending individual freedoms versus supporting policies that encroach upon them. While other scorecards often rely on a small sample of bills, our approach encompasses a considerably larger number. This deliberate choice ensures that a low score does not reflect a solitary dissenting vote but rather a consistent pattern of voting against the principles of liberty and freedom.
In summary, the legislative scorecard for the Georgia 2023 legislative session offers a vital resource for assessing the prevailing voting culture within the Georgia General Assembly. It sheds light on the challenges faced by those who dare to oppose legislative proposals, emphasizes the significance of voting against flawed measures, and underscores the importance of maintaining a comprehensive and balanced approach to legislation, one that truly champions the fundamental ideals of freedom and individual rights.
Thank you for taking the time to review this informative legislative scorecard. As engaged citizens, it is crucial that we remain informed about the voting patterns of our elected representatives and hold them accountable for their decisions. By analyzing this scorecard, we can better understand the prevailing voting culture within the Georgia General Assembly and work towards fostering a more balanced and principled approach to legislation by holding our elected officials accountable.
In conclusion, we encourage all freedom-loving Georgians to review this legislative scorecard for the Georgia 2023 legislative session. It is vital to hold our elected representatives accountable for their voting patterns, particularly those who claim to champion limited government, personal liberty, and free-market principles.
Let us remember that voting "YES" on every measure does not equate to effective governance. True leadership requires the courage to challenge flawed legislation and uphold the values that make our nation exceptional. As Republicans, we must strive for a government that respects individual rights, reduces burdensome regulations, and promotes economic prosperity through free enterprise.
The scorecard provides a stark reminder that the prevailing culture of unwavering support for all legislative measures does not align with the principles of limited government and individual freedom. We must support those lawmakers who consistently prioritize defending our fundamental rights and are willing to stand against the encroachment of government power.
So, let us rally together, armed with the knowledge provided by this scorecard, to hold our representatives accountable and demand a return to the core principles that our great nation was built upon. By doing so, we can forge a path towards a more prosperous, free, and prosperous future for Georgia and our entire nation.

Fantastic to meet and hear you, Ms. Staples, at the DeKalb Co. Republican Party August Breakfast last Saturday. You are a wonderful teacher, and with grace you discuss difficult issues and realities of governance. Would you share again here what the FOUR CRITERIA you use to determine if a submitted legislation (bill) is put as a YES or NO for the Scorecard calculation? I absolutely loved them, but got so excited I forgot to write them down! I look forward to many more Under The Dome issues!
I'd like to see the representatives voting in each individual bill, not only %. Where can I get that info?
