Garrett Michael Hayes Wins Libertarian Nomination for Governor of Georgia

"My platform is simple, and I *will* stand on it: Eliminate the state income tax while working with our US Congressional delegation to help enact the national Fair Tax." -- Garrett Michael Hayes

(PRWEB) April 30, 2006 -- Garrett Michael Hayes wins Libertarian nomination for Governor of Georgia.

“It's time to Liberate Georgia,” said Hayes after winning the gubernatorial nomination by a unanimous vote at Saturday's convention of the Libertarian Party of Georgia. "Georgians lived on a Democrat-run plantation for 130 years, waiting for Republicans to free them. Look what they got…more taxes, more regulations, and an endlessly dismal education system."

"Georgian's are fed up, and they ought to be. They thought they elected a conservative who would stand on principle. Instead they got, 'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!'"

"My platform is simple, and I *will* stand on it: Eliminate the state income tax while working with our US Congressional delegation to help enact the national Fair Tax; Put real change and real choice into Georgia's appalling 'Education' system; and completely pull the teeth from those who would abuse eminent domain laws to steal your property.
