Heck, let's save money and let the church be the house of government -- the Southern Party of Georgia

Kristen Wyatt, a young reporter with the AP who knows her Georgia politics, updates us on the Southern Party as it struggles to gain a foothold in Georgia. Wyatt writes:

Founded four years ago, the Southern Party didn't really get going until the Legislature, at the direction of then-Gov. Roy Barnes, changed the state flag in 2001 to significantly shrink the Rebel battle cross.

The Southern Party was hoping the high-profile flag debate would boost their platform of smaller government guided by Christian principles.

Among their top ideas are tighter immigration laws, more freedom to display religious documents in state buildings and property tax reform.

But now, the party has only about a thousand members. Many voters haven't even heard of them.
