Complaint Form #1: Friends for Tim Echols violated the following statute: O.C.G.A. § 21-5-41(a)(3) by accepting an in-kind contribution beyond the $6,100 contribution limit as set by the State Ethics Commission. Along with $4,262.69 in payments to own company, Gold Dome Consulting, Mr. Echols’ June 30, 2010 Campaign Disclosure Report also reported a $6,100 in-kind contribution from Gold Dome Consulting for “Literature drop in neighborhoods.” The July 1, 2010, Atlanta Journal-Constitution article TeenPact kids’ campaign efforts raise questions, outlines how John Oxendine’s gubernatorial campaign paid Mr. Echols’ company, Gold Dome Consulting, for the “services of 150 home-schooled Christian teenagers.” The article also detailed how these children were working for both Mr. Oxendine’s and Mr. Echols’ campaigns, respectively. In fact, Mr. Oxendine reported an expense of $12,500 to Mr. Echols’ company, setting the fair market value for these services. Mr. Echols however, only disclosed a $6,100 in-kind contribution for analogous services. #2: Friends for Tim Echols violated the following statute: O.C.G.A. § 21-5-34(b)(1)(A) by failing to disclose an additional in-kind contribution from Gold Dome Consulting. As previously stated, Mr. Echols’ June 30, 2010 Campaign Disclosure Report reported a $6,100 in-kind contribution from Gold Dome Consulting for “Literature drop in neighborhoods.” The July 1, 2010, Atlanta Journal-Constitution article TeenPact kids’ campaign efforts raise questions, details how John Oxendine’s gubernatorial campaign paid Mr. Echols’ company, Gold Dome Consulting, for the “services of 150 home-schooled Christian teenagers.” The article also detailed how these children were working for both Mr. Oxendine’s campaign and also Mr. Echols’ campaign for Public Service Commission. Mr. Echols charged $12,500 to Oxendine Working for Georgia, Inc. for the same services his own campaign received from his company, Gold Dome Consulting. Mr. Echols only disclosed a $6,100 in-kind contribution from Gold Dome Consulting for these services. The $12,500 expenditure by Oxendine Working for Georgia set the market value of services rendered by Gold Dome Consulting. By only disclosing the $6,100 in-kind contribution, Friends for Tim Echols failed to disclose an additional $6,400 in-kind contribution. #3: Friends for Tim Echols violated the following statute: O.C.G.A. § 21-5-34(b)(1)(B) by failing to disclose an expense incurred on April 29, 2010 of $3,493.57, constituting candidate qualifying fee made payable to the Georgia Republican Party. The qualifying fee was reported accurately as a contribution by the Georgia Republican Party in their June 30, 2010 Campaign Disclosure, as required by law. Mr. Echols and his campaign committee did not and have not properly disclosed this expense. SEC FORM CCDR REV 06/2009 FILER ID: C2010000204 State of Georgia Campaign Contribution Disclosure Report 1.

  • Presession Report 2019
    PRESESSION REPORT 2019 PRE-FILED LEGISLATION • House http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=2 • Senate http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/Prefiles.aspx?Chamber=1 There were 28 pre-filed pieces of legislation for 2019. While some were on the lighter side – such as naming the judicial center after Governor Nathan Deal and commending the Atlanta Braves 2018 season – some notables include the following: HB 2 – (Rep. Matt Gurtler) Allows certain Georgians to carry a firearm without a permit. HB 8 – (Rep. Debbie Buckner) Exempts certain women’s hygiene products from state sales tax. HR 2 – (Rep. Scot Turner) Prohibits the use of a poll tax in Georgia. HR 6 – (Rep. Michael Caldwell) Provides for term limits for state elected officials. SB 2 – (Sen. Steve Gooch) Allows for EMCs to partner with internet companies to provide broadband service to members. HOT BUTTON ISSUES FOR 2019 Education Throughout the campaign, Governor Kemp presented education as one of his top priorities. Included in this is teacher compensation and a priority on mental health counselors in schools as well as school security. We will also continue to watch and see how the state proceeds with the implementation of the testing pilot program passed in 2018. One complication in education policy in 2019 is a void in leadership in each Chamber. With the retirement of Brooks Coleman in the House and Senator Lindsey Tippins resigning his chairmanship, both committees are currently without a leader. We expect the new chairs to be announced any day now. Rural Georgia Throughout the 2018 Legislative Session and the 2018 Campaign season, we saw a recurring theme in that legislators see the need for reforms that aid rural Georgia.

  • The Colorblind Turn in Indian Country: Lumbee Indians, Civil Rights, and Tribal State Formation
    The Colorblind Turn in Indian Country: Lumbee Indians, Civil Rights, and Tribal State Formation by Harold Walker Elliott A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2019 Doctoral Committee: Professor Philip Deloria, Co-Chair, Harvard University Professor Matthew Lassiter, Co-Chair Associate Professor Matthew Countryman Professor Barbra Meek Professor Tiya Miles, Harvard University Harold Walker Elliott [email protected] ORCID iD 0000-0001-5387-3188 © Harold Walker Elliott 2019 DEDICATION To my father and mother, Hal and Lisa Elliott And for Lessie Sweatt McCloud, her ancestors, and her descendants ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the culmination of eight years of graduate study and nearly a decade of research, writing, and editing. The result is deeply imperfect. Its faults come from my many shortcomings as an author. For anything this project does accomplish, I owe credit to the many people who have helped me along the way. Completing this project would have been impossible without the love, support, and inspiration of my parents, Hal and Lisa Elliott. During my upbringing, they instilled the values that guided me through the moral choices that a project like this one entails. My mother and her family have always been the driving forces behind my research into Lumbee and American Indian history. My father, a reluctant physician, passed down his fondness for history and dream of writing it. In the many difficult moments over the past eight years, my parents steadied me with long hugs or reassuringly familiar, South Carolina-accented voices on the phone.

    JOIN OUR MOVEMENT Hundreds of public defenders Sharing a common vision Partnering with the communities Achieving equal justice In America we have lost sight of the humanity of our most vulnerable communities. As a result we have become indifferent to the injustice they experience in all walks of life. Our collective indifference to poverty, sub-standard education, mental health challenges, and substance abuse, drives a criminal justice system that is devastating low-income communities. Rather than deal with these issues, we criminalize those who fall victim to them. Public defenders are on the front lines to address these issues. Society’s mistreatment of its own citizens in the criminal justice system is a reflection of its lack commitment to equal justice. By interrupting routine injustice every day, public defenders serve as the conscience of our criminal justice system and the first line of defense to reclaim our democracy! By driving all of us to see the humanity of our most marginalized community-members, our public defenders: - Impact individual lives - Transform our criminal justice system - Drive a more equitable society AND THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!! www.gideonspromise.org 101 Marietta Street NW, Suite 250, Atlanta, GA 30303 Criminal Justice is this generation’s greatest civil and human rights struggle As the nation has been exposed to a seemingly endless stream of highly-publicized, violent citizen-police encounters, we are awakening to the reality that justice in America is not equal. But for every person killed by a police officer, hundreds of thousands more are arrested, processed into a prison cell, and left unable to ever participate in society in a meaningful way.
