- "Solutions to non-viable pregnancy and unwanted pregnancy are inseparable from the freedom and liberty rights of the living and born pregnant female. Concern for the unborn fetus must give way to the moral concern for pregnant woman. Decisions about non-viable pregnancy and unwanted pregnancy, always traumatic, are for the pregnant woman and her health care experts. This is because the rights of freedom and liberty of the living pregnant woman must not be sacrificed to the still born or the unborn." (mike4georgia.com)

- "The essence of Democracy is the right to vote the right to elect those who will lead our nation and who will make decisions about policy and laws for us all. The right to vote must be protected. It is malicious mischief when our elected officials restrict access to the polls in the name of election security. Those who claim election fraud need to step up and offer their objective proof or admit that they have only opinions, guesses and supposition. The reason that there have been no court cases supporting these election fraud claims is because the claims cannot survive the requirement of actual proof." (mike4georgia.com)
