Sunday Sales petition
The Sunday Sales issue won't go away:
One week ago, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle's office might have been justified in saying there hadn't been "any kind of broad expression of support for a vote on Sunday alcohol sales this year." As his spokeswoman told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for a Monday story, his office had been contacted just several dozen times on the issue in the past two weeks.To me the issue is about self-government. I trust individuals to make their own decisions, however, I also believe they should also accept the consequences.Today, however, if Cagle and any other legislators who'd rather not see Senate Bill 138 revived for the current state legislative session care to take a look at the Web site www.petitiononline.com/GASB138/petition.html, they'll find the names of more than 9,000 Georgians who want to be given the opportunity to vote on whether they should be allowed to buy alcohol when they're doing their grocery shopping on Sunday afternoon.
One thing that does bother me about the debate is that this is the only "political" issue most of the people who signed the petition will ever be involved in.
With that said, I signed it. I encourage you to do the same.

I can't believe we even have to vote on something like this. Separation of Church and State.
