FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TUESDAY, JUNE 28 GREATER GEORGIA TO HOLD 4TH OF JULY REGISTRATION EVENTS AT ATLANTA AREA GROCERY STORES (ATLANTA) – This Wednesday through Friday, Greater Georgia is holding its latest series of voter registration events at Atlanta-area grocery stores, where shoppers are facing record high prices heading into the July 4th holiday thanks to spiking inflation driven by Washington’s failed policies. New voters will have the opportunity to register at stores in Fulton and DeKalb counties, and these efforts build on Greater Georgia’s earlier consumer registration efforts at gas stations and gun stores. By registering Georgians at the point of sale, Greater Georgia is encouraging consumers to take action in the upcoming November general election. “Thanks to the tax-and-spend, Green New Deal agenda of Washington bureaucrats, economists estimate that Georgia’s families will pay an extra $7,200 on purchases in 2022 - and next week, they’ll be paying for one of the most expensive 4th of July holidays ever recorded,” said former U.S. Senator and Greater Georgia Chairwoman Kelly Loeffler. “By meeting voters where they’re hurting most, Greater Georgia is mobilizing them to take action and help put a stop to the inflation that’s draining their pocketbooks. By registering voters, mobilizing them, and encouraging them to support conservatives in the upcoming November election, we are growing the tent - and making Georgians' voices heard.” BACKGROUND: American cookouts are expected to cost at least 17% more compared to last year.
