This is what local TV viewers are hearing and seeing about the Quitman 10.
Somebody tell me, is it appropriate for a district attorney to declare
people guilty before trial?
Local viewers of Fox News on Sunday morning might have seen a
familiar face on their screen, as South Georgia Judicial Circuit
District Attorney Joe Mulholland was interviewed by the national
news station about his prosecution of a voter-fraud case in Brooks
County, Ga.
Mulholland spoke to Fox News newsman Eric Shawn for approximately
four-and-a-half minutes about the case, which involves 12 citizens
charged for allegedly tampering in a July 2010 primary election.
According to the Valdosta Daily Times, school board incumbents Gary
Rentz and Myra Exum were leading in their races, before the absentee
ballots were counted. After those 979 absentee ballots were
tabulated, challengers Linda Troutman and Elizabeth Thomas were able
to overtake the incumbents’ leads and eventually win election in
November.

published about

Brooks County Community Leaders,
Georgia State Senators, Representatives, President of GABEO, Chairman
of the Peoples Agenda, and other Civil and Human Rights Leaders and
organizations.
The Quitman 10 were arrested in Brooks County for alleged irregularities
with absentee ballots, the day after two of them were elected to the
Brooks County Board of Education.

Grand Bay Master Gardeners (GBMG) has been holding a class to become
master gardeners, and they just graduated yesterday!
I’m not going to attempt to name all of them, because the ones I missed
would be miffed.
I will say that’s Gretchen Quarterman on the right.
And that these are people from all over the area, city and country,
Democrat and Republican.
Growing food is the universal community builder.
GBMG is “organized as a cohesive working group in Lowndes, Brooks,
Echols, and Lanier Counties”.
They’ll be holding more classes, so you, too, can become a master gardener.
California can do it, and it turns out Brooks County can do it:
install solar hot water heaters on low-cost housing.
In Brooks County, they also installed solar electric panels.
Kevin Skeath explains the 2.03 kilowatt solar electric panels
on an apartment office, 9 solar thermal systems on the apartments,
and how you can reduce your power bill upwards of 30% just by heating
your regular hot water, and even more by using it for heating your rooms.

I traveled to the Georgia State Capital February 22, 2011; in support of
the Quitman Ten. These brave, courageous freedom fightes stood and are
standing strong on behalf of Georgia Voter’s right to vote. This is a
short preview of what will be posted here as a reflection of what took
place at this meeting and historical event. As a concerned citizens
from the South Georgia, I commend the Georgia citizens that stood in
support of the Quitman Ten as they received rewards for their courage
and perhaps being forced to bring South Georgia into the 21st Century
along with other cities.
