The fate of the climate agenda rests in the hands of Georgia voters. The run-off law was designed for voter suppression. The Republicans are using this special election as a way to preserve their Senate majority.  Pete hopes turnout of voters might backfire from recent results.

This song became the state song in 1972. It seems to me.  In 1930,  Hoagy Carmichael wrote the music and Stuart Gorrel the lyrics to a song about Hoagy’s sister, Georgia. When  it became the official state song, in 1979,  Hoagy said it was written for the state of Georgia. So I wonder when Billie or Ray sang this song was it a girl’s name song?  Billie recorded this version in 1941,that was years before, it became a state song.
