The bill establishes corporations as “artificial persons” without the right to spend money on elections.

The bill could limit the influence of super PACs and be a model to challenge the influence of money in politics.

Rev. Timothy McDonald III, Senior Pastor, First Iconium Baptist Church: Voting matters. Your vote matters. You want to defeat what the Supreme Court has done to us? Then vote. You want to eliminate the racism that exists in our voting system? Then vote. If you want your voice to be heard, the only thing that you can do that will really count is to vote. Not just in Fulton County, but all across this state and nation.

This is why voter suppression persists.

RIGHT NOW, wherever you are, even if it’s after midnight, pay attention to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s words about the power of voting and organizing.

When private equity firms take over nursing homes it’s the patients that suffer, with higher costs and higher mortality rates.

Our seniors deserve better.

We must fight to keep private equity out and keep senior care in the hands of our communities. https://t.co/0K474fGwEe

If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid:

$124 — school lunch & nutrition programs
$49 — diplomacy to prevent wars
$19 — USPS
$19 — Federal Aviation Administration
$18 — national parks

and

$4,049 — weapons & war.

These priorities are hurting us all. We need change. #TaxDay
