State Senator Lambastes Immoral Politics and Journalism
August 14, 2008

The Northeast Georgian continues to put forth erroneous journalism in Habersham County, Georgia. Their mission, obviously, is to sow seeds of conflict in the local community. Never ever to exhibit truth or integrity, as they claim.
The August 12, 2008, edition of The Northeast Georgian carried another diatribe accusing me of using names, pictures, and statements that commended my relationship with State Senate leadership as being untrue.
The author of the “Opinion” column proceeded to write in The Northeast Georgian that HB 1112 was altered intentionally in the State Senate to protect those who want to falsely use a person’s picture or name to endorse a candidate. That is an untrue statement. HB 1112 was a “housekeeping” bill that originated in the House. Code Section 12, as written, was unconstitutional because it was too broad and covered too many issues. It was problematic as it was written, so in place of rewriting the section, it was eliminated from the bill.
Certainly, it was not an “ill conceived decision” as The Northeast Georgian falsely accused. The writer of the “Opinion” article twisted the bill and its true meaning to use it against me because I used a statement made by Governor Sonny Perdue on my flier to appear as an endorsement (a statement the Governor confirmed he made). This was deceptive journalism, as I never used the word “endorse” at any time.
Next, the writer of the “Opinion” piece used the inflammatory argument again by accusing me for “seemingly” having endorsements from Lt. Governor Casey Cagle,
Pro-Tem Eric Johnson and Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine. The truth is that Casey Cagle, Eric Johnson and John Oxendine not only sent written endorsements to me, but also sent generous contributions to back up their endorsements, as well as did many other State Senators.
I still did not call the written political support “endorsements” in any publication. I used their picture and the words they had written.
My opponent, Jim Butterworth, Jr. charged that I presented false information by claiming an “endorsement” by Governor Sonny Perdue and The National Rifle Association.
The NRA endorsed me in 2006 and the endorsement has been on my website since that date. I did not ask the NRA to endorse me again in 2008. I have had a long-standing relationship with the NRA and it’s many members and I have been a member of the organization for years. I also have a friendship with Larry Pratt, the Executive Director of Gun Owners of America (GOA), and was endorsed by the GOA in 2006 and that endorsement has been on my website since 2006 also.
My campaign was attacked by immoral politics, RINO’s (Republican in name only) and “top-down” intervention that helped bring about these untrue and unfounded charges.
It appears my coming against an agency, as powerful and with as much funding as Child Protective Services (CPS) or the Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS), as I did in the last session of the Georgia General Assembly, and seeking investigations into the corruption of CPS/DFCS, rendered me a target for political loss by the “powers that be”.
There are many good people who have had their political careers ended because they attempted to expose government agency corruption.
Even now, after the election is over, I am having to dispel the untruthfulness of my opponent (who has yet to file his overdue August 1st Campaign Financial Disclosure) and his leftist counterpart, The Northeast Georgian.
I have fought on the frontlines for families, faith, and freedom for over 25 years. I have been a life-long Conservative Republican, who has always fought the Republican Party from becoming a “top-down” party for so called “moderates” or RINO’s in place of a grassroots party where The Pledge of Allegiance, The Ten Commandments, The Boy Scouts of America, parental rights in public schools, Border Security, Private Property Rights, American Sovereignty (defeating U.N. treaties), Right To Life for the unborn child, limits on supremacist judges and the traditional definition of marriage are to be upheld without compromise.
I have written many articles and given many speeches on the importance of the U.S. Constitution, the 2nd Amendment and the many issues mentioned in the paragraph above.
Before ever running for political office, I founded and operated Family Concerns, Inc., a non-profit organization in Georgia created for the purpose of strengthening the family through local, state, national, and international policy. I also founded the Family Concerns Pregnancy Center operating during the years 1988 –1998) where 5,000 women and girls needs were met.
I stand by my record of honesty and integrity and will not allow it to be distorted with falsehoods and innuendos. The people of the 50th District should not be confronted with such liberal tactics. They deserve better.
We have been blessed in America with a tremendous heritage. We have been given, by the grace of Creator God and by our Founding Fathers, a glorious Republic. To quote George Washington: “…Republicanism is not the phantom of a deluded imagination: on the contrary, that under no form of government, will laws be better supported, liberty and property better secured, or happiness be more effectually dispensed to mankind. Yet government must always rest on the people.” Grover Cleveland stated it correctly when he said: “A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.”
May God bless the State of Georgia and may God bless our beloved America.

Letter from Senator Nancy Schaffer--July 2, 2008
Dear Friends,
I am writing this letter to many of you who have contacted me with your painful and heart wrenching account of the removal of your children by Child Protective Services (CPS). Others of you are grandparents who have witnessed the loss of your grandchildren. Many of you have lost everything fighting CPS and many of you have written or called me to say you want to help expose the Corruption of CPS and still others of you have, or are working in CPS and have courageously called to share the truth.
Thank you, dear hearts, for you stand and for your willingness to be involved at all costs. Thank you, to the many of you, who are fighting the system for your children. Please do not give up.
I am in a campaign to maintain my Senate seat here in Georgia. It is very time consuming and I haven�t been able to contact many of you recently. I want you to realize, however, that I will continue to fight
for you and I am planning to battle even harder when this campaign is over.
I have kept all of your letters and your emails and the information from your phone calls. I plan to use much of it in the days ahead.
The Primary here in Georgia is July 15th. That is not long. Please pray that I will be victorious and that I will not have to go through a run-off, which would be an extra three weeks.
I have a copy of my article: �The Corrupt Business of Child Protective Services� on my website. Please go to www.senatornancysch
I am also trying to find someone in every State who will be willing to help anyone who has been confronted by CPS/DFCS without cause.
My assistant, Jody Thompson and I pray for you daily and have deep concerns for you and your children. My campaign will be over soon and I will immediately return to the projects and legislation needed to improve the lives of parents and children.
God bless you.
Most sincerely,
Senator Nancy Schaefer

MESSAGE FROM SENATOR SCHAEFER~Reply by May 24,2008 Important Information for ALL Georgia Families Learn More: See Attachments OR Become an Active Participant Back to Top Become an Active Participant Now is the time to start e-mails and phone calls, ALWAYS POLITE but forceful, to the Senators in the Judiciary Committee in the State of Georgia to pass this Bill out of Committee as we the People of America are watching. Please put it into your words that you want these abuses stopped and that you support the legislation by Senator Nancy Schaefer. Posted: September 1, 2003 Dear Mr. Schneider, Georgia Child Protective Services is not unique in its handling of child protection issues. It is a national tragedy as untrained, uneducated "wanna be" social caseworkers strive to line their pockets and budgets with huge amounts of federal funding. The majority of these workers are poorly trained and/or grossly uneducated in the proper ways of handling a situation. They drag their feet when a suspected abuse is reported. They find excuse after excuse to ignore the report or not take their responsibility to make their required monthly visits to the foster children already in the system. Then they make up words to document their inaccurate case reports in order to cover their backside if they are ever called to account. (See Our Concerns from Foster Parent Reform) They target and attack unsuspecting good families and spend their time uselessly on cases that should never come to the front. And then they scream and moan and groan that they are understaffed and/or overworked. Their main answer to everything is to "give them more money" so they can do their job. And it is "us" the unsuspecting taxpayer who foots the ultimate bill. Well, I submit to you that it isn't "more money" that is needed...It's accountability and the inability to hide behind the doors of "confidentiality" and "immunity". Until that happens this system will continue to run amuck and ride roughshod over honest, unsuspecting American families. It used to be that they targeted only poor families and took their children and adopted them out but since the McCarthy Act of 1974 the work of Child Protection workers has taken them to new heights. They now target anyone who can line their pockets with the almighty "gold coin", as each case they involve themselves in brings in [additional] federal funds. [More info] By their own admission in a documentary that was produced and aired by PBS television earlier this year, caseworkers receive only a minimal 6-weeks of training before they are thrown into the pit to ruin people's lives. The majority of this training is in useless, time-consuming paperwork...not in how to deal effectively and honestly with families who need help. By their own admission these newly educated workers come into this job with only the book learning that they have received in school and absolutely no "hands-on" practical experience, and that is only if they have a higher education than high school. They come into this job with unrealistic dreams and ideas and often leave the profession early on with broken dreams and totally disillusioned. It is not to say that there are not "good" social workers out there that are truly dedicated to helping those children in need, but too often their efforts are thwarted by this corrupt, inefficient system and they are either forced to "shut up" and follow the program or they are forced to leave the system, broken and disillusioned. To the average everyday person it appears that Child Protective Services is "doing its job" but nothing is further from the truth. Nationally children continue to die. Nationally families are targeted and destroyed. Nationally people who care about these children are targeted and drug through the mud...names and reputations ruined...jobs and incomes lost...families torn apart and totally devastated. They are ruined professionally, personally and financially. And why does this happen?, you may ask. It's all because these people dare to stand up and "fight" for what they know is right. I know this to be true because we were one of the thousands upon thousands of American families who were targeted by unscrupulous Child Protection workers and ruined professionally, personally and financially by their dishonesty, unaccountability and lies.. This is all done in "the best interest of the child" so these caseworkers and supervisors say! But to those who have faced firsthand the criminal injustices of the Child Protective System these horrors remain forever embedded in their memory. It used to be that CPS targeted the biological family but over these past three decades the injustices and cruelty has extended itself to relative caretakers, grandparents, foster parents and adoptive parents. It is all done for the sake of the "almighty dollar", as CPS receives federal funds for every child that is held in the foster care system. It is reported that agencies receive from between $2000 to $6000 per child/per month for holding these children captive. Not only that, they receive funds every time they remove a child on an "emergency basis". In these instances they make the claim that the child(ren) is in "eminent danger," which is usually not the case. What is happening is that these workers see an easy way to make a buck and they waste their time chasing ridiculous stories and fabricating allegations to cover their backsides. Back to Top
