(6,918 posts)Ive done over 200 films and TV shows, many in Georgia. We are a major economic engine and loud voice in Atlanta, and all over the state.
Citizens wont like politicians fuc*king that up. Its said politics is show business for ugly people. Now let politicians come up against real show business people.
We are a circus, but its our circus. Kemp vs. Tyler Perry? Who you think is gonna get more attention? Attention is our business, and were the best in the world at it.
On edit: Sports teams are powerful because of one thing: television.

(2,692 posts)Not just the MLB All-Star game, but the Jackie Robinson Day celebrations and other key games during the season. Personally, Id like to see the MLB and the NFL pull all support and all scheduled games out of the state.
Cant have 21st century sports played in a 19th century state.
Baseball is my favorite sport most the time. I hope people realize that pro athletes are some very smart folks. And that includes the women. Where I work the people that played high level sports in college alway excel.

(21,360 posts)boycott the Masters. Get a few big name golfers to withdraw from the Masters. I know, like that is going to happen.
I'm also guessing that the owners of most baseball teams are right wingers.
More needs to be done so that a message is sent to other states.

(2,692 posts)The Masters -- oddly descriptive name in a resurrected slave state, isnt it? The Masters is the pride of Georgia. Take it away!

(21,360 posts)Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods have both played golf with Trump. I remember years back when Phil threatened to move out of California because he couldn't afford the taxes.

(1,402 posts)In it's pocketbook. Tourism accounts for 46 % of GA's tax revenue. The film industry brings in 2.2 billion. Yeah Kemp, show em how to run your state into the ground while disenfranchising your black voters. You are quite the Governor.

(6,927 posts)Coca-Cola, Tyler Perry, all those movie companies , AT&T there are lots of them.
Cozmo
(1,402 posts)Meeting, conventions, special sporting events and the rank and file tour groups are what as referred to as the big business of tourism. Tourism dollars are the top revenue producers in many major cities in this country. I'm glad to see that this industry is paying attention. Citizens can also do their share and boycott the goods and services of Coca-Cola and Home Depot, etc. If we don't then we don't have anyone to blame but ourselves. WE can make this happen. Can't wait for our government to do this it will take too long.

The feds should be investigating the 2016 GA elections
Kemp purged 33k people then beat the run off number by 1000 ... 33k to 34k
Yeah right, if that aint some overly apparent bullshit I don't know what is.
