ATLANTA (January 28, 2011) – State Senator Mitch Seabaugh (R- Sharpsburg) will welcome local students to the State Capitol on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 to participate in the Senate Page Program for 2011 Legislative Session.

“The Page Program has always been a great way for students to see first hand what we do as legislators at the State Capitol,”said Sen. Seabaugh.  “I hope that any student interested in government or learning more about the legislative process will apply for this exciting program.  I look forward to meeting students from district and watching as they become part of the State Senate for a day.”

Each student interested in becoming a Page must be at least 12 years old.  The absence from school will be counted as an excused absence. Senate Page duties consist primarily of delivery of correspondence and legislative material within the Senate Chamber. This offers a unique opportunity to experience Georgia’s Upper Chamber directly as it happens. Pages will have their pictures made with Lt. Governor Cagle and Sen. Seabaugh. Each senator is limited to 20 pages, so spots are first come first served. Those interested should contact Melissa Eaton at 404-656-6446 or by email at melissa.eaton@senate.ga.gov. 

Sen. Mitch Seabaugh serves as Chairman of the Reapportionment and Redistricting Committee.  He represents the 28^th Senate District, which includes Coweta and Heard counties and portions of Carroll and Troup counties.  He may be reached at 404.656.6446 or by e-mail at mail@mitchseabaugh.com.

SHARPSBURG (June 8, 2010) – The Georgia Common Sense Lawful Carry Act, authored by State Sen. Mitch Seabaugh (R-Sharpsburg), was signed into law today by Gov. Sonny Perdue.  Georgia’s 400,000 lawfully carrying citizens and Georgia’s law enforcement officials now have clearer guidelines as to where weapons can and cannot be carried. (more…)

By State Sen. Mitch Seabaugh (R-Sharpsburg)

Georgia’s Common Sense Lawful Carry Act protects lawfully carrying citizens from unknowingly becoming criminals by clarifying where they can and cannot carry their weapons.  They know all too well that a license to carry is not a license to commit a crime.  Restricting the rights of law-abiding citizens does not protect the public from random acts of violence.  The Lawful Carry Act works to preserve these rights not restrict them.
