Jay Fisher, a state's attorney and member of Law Enforcement Against
Prohibition (LEAP),
will expose America's failing drug policy. What options do we have?
What does the War on
Drugs cost taxpayers? Treatment vs. Punishment? Re-legalization? Q&A
Jay Fisher is an assistant attorney general, handling post-conviction
matters on behalf of
the prosecution. He has been involved in numerous murder appeals of
both local and
national prominence. In his late-twenties, Jay reached a crossroads in
his life where he had
to make a decision on his stance regarding government power. On the one
hand, he held
very strong law-and-order personal views, and even applied for federal
law enforcement
positions with the F.B.I. and D.E.A. However, he also held very strong
positions on issues
such as government spending, bureaucratic waste and individual liberty.
In the end, he
opted for liberty, freedom and an end to government intrusion.
2:15 ? 2:30 Break / Refreshments / Sponsors Needed!
2:30 ? 3:30 Ballot Access ? More Ballot Choices
Garland Favorito, a leader in ballot access reform, will expose Georgia
laws that restrict
fair access for 3rd parties and independent candidates. Learn what
candidates must do to
get on a Georgia ballot and what you can do to lobby to change it. Q&A
Garland Favorito is an independent computer consultant who became
concerned about
government corruption after viewing and verifying the accuracy of
videos about the
murders of Vince Foster, Kevin Ives and Don Henry. When he realized
that a cover-up of
these and other serious crimes were linked to Clinton administrations,
he planned and
helped organize America's first National Impeachment Town Hall. After
the Republican
leadership protected Bill Clinton from facing the more serious charges
that initiated the
impeachment movement, Garland decided to find out why. His remarkable
findings are
published in his book, Our Nation Betrayed, available from Epic Books.
3:30 ? 4:30 "This land is your land? sort of?"
Mark Meeks, flower shop owner, will tell his story of how the city of
Stockbridge, Ga.
undermined their property rights and how he and his wife are fighting
city hall. From small
town shop owners to property rights freedom fighters, the Meeks made
national and
international news because of a government power called Eminent Domain.
Will Georgia's
new laws protect us? Should we vote YES in Nov.? Q&A
News: Stockbridge Florist and Gifts owner Mark Meeks has won a court
battle to keep his
store. With no help from the State Legislature, a judge ruled that the

property. The judge mentioned that the plan the City of Stockbridge,
Georgia has in mind
