Peri Lyn Gordon thinks that 78% of Lumpkin County voters are deplorables.
Teresa Gay is anti-NRA, pro-abortion & pro-gay. She thinks that if you support the NRA you're a gun fanatic. She's a follower of Michael Moore & believes the NRA is a terrorist organization.
Thank you for reading Fetch Your News, Rudy and for taking the time to comment.
OMG Mr/Ms Vickery you don't know me or Teresa. I can tell you as a AR-15 owner, I personally support a person's right to own a firearm as long as you are not mentally ill or have a criminal history. Speaking for myself, as far as abortion is concerned back in the late 1970's after the Republican Nixon administration coordinated with the Supreme Court which had only one Democratic Appointee (Justice Byron White, whose vote was one of the two dissenting votes), to legalize abortion nationally, I was out there protesting and I think our voices were successful in stopping public funding of abortions. You should watch Michael Moore's documentaries. You might actually learn something.
Thank you Peri for reading Fetch Your News. Your comments are always welcome and we appreciate them.
Peri Gordon, you sound defensive. There must be a reason for it. At least you didn't deny thinking that 78% of Lumpkin County voters are deplorables. That was the only charge against you & you didn't even address it. You danced. You rambled on & on about guns & abortions. I should watch Michael Moore’s documentaries so I can learn something? Thanks for showing your true colors. So you blocked me on fb or deleted your page? lol I rest my case.
The above picture is of, Ms. Gay's daughter, Jenn.
Thank you for the coverage FYN! But the picture is my daughter Jennifer. Im much older. I can send you a recent photo if you want, but either way you should probably take down. Thanks Teresa Gay
Sorry for the error. Please send photo to billjohnson717@gmail.com and I'll be happy to include.
Interesting fact about Peri Gordon. I read her facebook post about the AR15 that she owns. This lunatic is running around her neighborhood treating to shoot her neighbors dog with the weapon. Glad I don't live in her neck of the woods, real whacko!
