Dear Mr. Cashel:

Thank you for taking the time to write to me with your concerns about Georgia's state flag. From the beginning, I have felt that the citizens of Georgia should be heard on this issue. I understand that, in the past, people have felt excluded from this process.

As you may know, the Georgia House of Representatives has arrived at a compromise proposal that will allow the people of Georgia to express their views on our state flag and will move us a step closer to finding a resolution to this issue. I applaud our bipartisan leadership for their efforts to work together on behalf of all Georgians.

I remain committed to working with the General Assembly as this proposal works its way through the legislative process and am hopeful that discussions regarding our state's flag will remain open and accessible to all Georgians. I am grateful for all the ideas and suggestions about the design of our flag that have poured into my office from citizens all across our state, and I certainly appreciate knowing your thoughts on this important matter.

Sincerely,
Sonny Perdue
