Abuse of Power -- that's the best way to describe what House Speaker David Ralston has done with his legislative authority.
Ralston has spent nearly 10 years delaying criminal trials for his accused clients in cases involving violent felonies, sexual crimes including child molestation, domestic abuse and more.
It's time for Georgia citizens to stand up and tell him enough is enough! He needs to resign his leadership position and his legislative seat now.

The volume of support has reached a level that necessitates a formal presentation to the House Ethics Committee. I am currently drafting a letter to accompany the petition deliverables to ensure this documentation is formally recognized during the upcoming legislative review.

This dictator has abused his power long enough. He holds the House of Representatives with an iron grip. Blocks good legislation to punish members, blocks budget items needed for people's district so he can extort their votes. This behavior is typical of Ralston. He is full of vengeance and venom. He needs to go back to Elijay.
The disregard for the rule of law by the Speaker demonstrates his distain for the people's House and the citizens of this state. He holds too much power.
I am one of Mr. Ralston's constituents and am embarrassed by his actions. It's time for him to resign.
I find this offensive and as a member of the Bar and a conservative we need to be the first to stand up and appoint a leader with unquestionable integrity.
The worst possible way to be soft on crime is obstruction of justice. Accusers deserve due process and a day in court as much as the accused.
Lots of my Republican friends disagree with this but I know for a fact if he doesn’t resign the Democrats are going to make mountains out of this and it’s not going to fair well as we move to take back the 6th district and maintain the 7th and 11 th districts. If you want Stacey Abrams in your face (supporting every Democrat running) for the next 14 months don’t sign the petition.
This man serving as Speaker of the Georgia House is a disgrace to the Republican Party.

He put off my case for 6 years! Could it have been because it was against the roofer who put the roof on the courthouse in Blue Ridge?
