I saw this on Facebook today, and asked its author if I could post it here. With his blessing and encouragement, here is a statement from former GOP State Committee Member Michael Carter of Cleveland, Ga.
I recently resigned as a GAGOP State Committee Member so that I could say the following without retribution from the GAGOP. This was a very regretful and most difficult thing for me to personally do! I took this position very seriously and faithfully served the GAGOP and was a very active Member of the State Committee. I attended every meeting and every possible activity and event as a Member of the Committee.
I trust you as well as others can now see that I knew a lot more about Nathan Deal and his unethical, intentional and calculated misconduct when I began to point people to resources to do their own research as good honest Conservatives should do. Nathan Deal’s situation is not simply about helping a family member realize a business dream that failed. His family should be left out of all of this (I mean this from the bottom of my heart) this is about how he has handled everything as a US Congressman and now candidate for Governor of the state of Georgia.
Nathan Deal is a desperate man and we all know that desperate people do desperate things. We do not need a desperate man and the people he surrounds himself with holding and working in the highest office in this state! That is crystal clear!
The real and correct focus of the media and voters should be on all of the deceptive, intentional and calculated actions of Nathan Deal and culpable Members of his Campaign Staff as well as business partners that are culpable in his campaign misconduct for the highest office in this state.

All three have been in various news items recently, but there are three news items in particular I want to draw your attention to, in case you missed them:
1) Many Republicans have been claiming Roy Barnes supports illegal immigration. PolitiFact Ga recently gave that claim a “LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE” designation and said that it was absolutely ludicrous. So hopefully those Republicans that still have a shred of dignity left will drop this one, but that leads us into item 2…
2) Apparently, Nathan Deal has paid more than $120K of campaign donations into a company he owns. For the record, this is a company that is a subsidiary of the company at the center of Nathan’s $weetheart deal with the State that he maid MILLIONS of dollars on. This, on top of the recent revelation that he hid nearly $5 million in debt from EXTREMELY poor business decisions. At this point, there truly is no way an honest, ethical person can support this man without a MASSIVE heaping of delusion. He is now officially WORSE than John Oxendine.
3) John Monds was campaigning in Albany yesterday, attending Albany City Commissioner John Howard’s monthly “Town Hall”. I was working yesterday, but Tom was there and the quote in the Herald was spot on: ““The purpose of government is to protect our rights,” Monds said. “Government doesn’t create jobs, business does. Government should get out of the way.”
While the one commentator incorrectly states that the Libertarian nominee tends to draw more from the Republican than the Democratic candidate (in actuality, Libertarians draw fairly evenly from both, due to believing in BOTH fiscal conservatism and social tolerance), what I want you to particularly look at is the video 11 Alive uses of John Monds.
Those who were in attendance at the SWGAPolitics.com Candidate Forum should recognize it – because that is exactly where John was in that video. At the single largest political event in SWGA this election season in terms of number of candidates present.
Jason has a GREAT post about Republican scare tactics related to one Roy Barnes over on his site (and yes, I liked his title so much I largely borrowed it, so I’m giving him credit here).
Here’s a sample, I encourage you to go there to read the rest. (emphasis mine)
The “pseudo-crisis[es]” Jace is talking about is the “King Roy” meme and worries about redistricting.
The “King Roy” meme is just ridiculous. Republicans held the minority during his term as Governor from 1999 to 2003, so I’m sure the Republicans that were in the legislature at the time remember unpleasant fights over legislative issue. That stuff happens, especially when your party isn’t in control. [Continue Reading]
For “third” Parties, the magic number in any Gubernatorial election is 20%. At 20%, Ga law says the “third” Party is finally legally equal to the “Big 2″.
At least one site seems to think that John Monds could be near the 20% mark:
I noticed something quite disturbing when studying recent polling for elections around the country. Rasmussen Reports will include upwards of 6 or 7 candidates in the Democrat and Republican Primaries, sometimes with candidates that only receive 1% of the vote, yet when it comes to the General Election they will only include the two Democrat-Republican candidates despite there being sometime upwards of 3 or 4 other candidates from Third Party Nominations or Independent Nominations. This case is most present and most dangerous in a particular Governor’s election in Georgia, where the African-American Libertarian Candidate John Monds is left out of General Election polls despite having won 33.4% in a statewide election in 2008, and apparently the most likely winner of the 15- 20% of unaccounted votes in Rasmussen Polls.
The results are in, and it appears the Georgia Republican Party has nominated a racist who denies President Obama’s natural American birth for Governor. (Sadly, per one recent poll, 25% of Americans agree with him on that second part in particular.)
Fortunately for Georgia, there is another man running who is NOT a racist in any way, is a strong fiscal conservative, and is dedicated to restoring the Freedoms Georgians have the God-given right to enjoy, but that the Democrats and Republicans have stolen from them.
That man is John Monds, and we welcome all disaffected Republicans who cannot in good conscience vote for Deal to vote instead for John.
Remember, Georgia is a runoff state, meaning there is absolutely NOTHING to lose by voting your conscience on November 2, and then your fear in the runoff – contrary to what Republicans are going to cram down your throat over the next few months (indeed, this has already begun).
Note: “Racist” in the title is in reference to the “ghetto grandmother” comment in the above video. We are fully aware that birtheism does not imply racism, and we sincerely apologize if we implied otherwise above.
a message from John Monds, Libertarian candidate for Governor:
This was supposed to be the year of angry voters, right?
Apparently the handful of establishment voters in yesterday’s primary didn’t get the message. Whatever they might say with their mouths, they spoke more clearly with their votes.
They intentionally worked to not just retell the story of McBerry that is already out there on this site and in professional media such as AJC and Fox 5 Atlanta.
The key phrase to remember, particularly on the second article, is this: “Not criminal, but very, VERY creepy”
