List of media members to whom we sent a "news tip" on GA Gov. Kemp ignoring Dem sheriff's open violation of state law, OCGA 42-4-14

The members of the media listed below were sent “news tip” emails during the month of *August, 2022 in an experiment to see if any of them would do a story on the documented violation of state law aimed at “criminal illegals” by two GA sheriffs.

The news tip was sent with the subject line “Short: The (Dem) sheriffs in both Cobb & Gwinnett counties (metro Atlanta) are in open violation of state law involving identifying & reporting illegal immigrants in their jails to the feds. The (GOP) “I will end sanctuary cities” governor and candidate for reelection refuses to prosecute despite sheriff’s admission in media reports.”

–> This is the post we sent.

*The information was sent to Randy Travis and Scott Stucky at Fox5 TV news in July. The tip was originally sent to MDJ publisher Otis Brumby last year in addition to this August.

With the exception of a mention in an August 26, 2022 Breitbart story by Neil Munro, we have not seen any news stories/coverage. We are grateful to Breitbart and Mr. Munro.

The below reply and follow up was received from Rep Martin Dec. 5, 2023 at 8:00 AM.

The original request is here.

Mr. King,

To my reading and the reading of others with whom I have consulted, SB 379 via definitions, particularly in lines 19 – 33, requires the participant (“Apprentice”) and the employer (“Apprenticeship sponsor”) to be registered in Georgia and with the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship. Further, *a bulletin from the Office of Apprenticeship explains in part, “all individuals who are eligible to work in the U.S. are afforded an opportunity to participate and complete a RAP [registered apprenticeship program].”

Additionally, lines 52 – 55 outline employer application, providing another layer in assuring compliance with all applicable Georgia Law and Federal Law.

In sponsoring the legislation in the House in my role as Higher Education Chair, I relied on Senator Strickland’s statement that SB 379 stacks on underlying Georgia and Federal Law as outlined above.

Best Regards,

Rep. Chuck Martin.

Note: In my own reply to this response I asked Rep Martin for the title and date of the *U.S. DOL bulletin he cited and he was kind enough to send me this bulletin, (which I had already found and read). I am grateful to Rep Martin.
