And what I mean by I’m one of the people I’m just like you.
Unlike the career politician. I understand the common struggle that many Georgians face. I know what it’s like to work 40 hours a week just to get by
One thing is for sure, and two things are for certain the people of Georgia are fed up, it is time for Georgia to have new bold leaders It is time to hold Georgia legislators accountable for the shortcomings, empty promises, lack of courage to defend and protect the citizens in which they have sworn an oath to serve.
So this election season I am asking you to vote for me. Asa, One of the people.
Because to a have true democracy:
A Government OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, and FOR THE PEOPLE
you must certainly have to be ONE OF THE PEOPLE.- Currently Georgia Politics are being governed by career politician who are out of touch with the citizens as well as the common struggle
- It’s time for Georgia to hold Career politicians accountable
- My name is Asa Smith and I am one of the people And what I mean by I’m one of the people I’m just like you I understand the people struggle
