In comments made to Fox News on Monday, Perdue said that he's not concerned about the prospect of production companies leaving the state. He said that Georgia's business outlook was strong and cited a recent study that said"Georgia is rated for the sixth year in the row as the best state in the country in which to do business." The trade publication Site Selection gave Georgia that designation again in November.
Opposing the new law, Actress Alyssa Milano, who's currently wrapping a shoot in Georgia for a Netflix show, posted an open letter to lawmakers co-signed by dozens of actors, including Don Cheadle, David Cross, Rosie O'Donnell, and Ben Stiller."We cannot in good conscience continue to recommend our industry remain in Georgia if HB 481 becomes law," the letter said.The abortion law is part of an effort to overturn Roe v. WadeGov.
Maybe, genius boytemperdue but it will threaten your income. gapol boycottGeorgia until GAFirstLady BrianKempGA roll out their proposed free birthcontrol, healthcare, childcare, Housing, transportation, Education (college or tech),feeding as pro-responsible lifers.
He doesn’t think that it will pose a risk to the women of the state either obviously he is good at being wrong.
I guess that's what it looks like from SenPerdue's house on the hill, I imagine the hard working folks of Georgia disagree. boycottGeorgia
please, you pullnout, others go in.
I’ve vacationed in Georgia before and loved it, but I can spend my $ elsewhere
These film businesses that are boycotting have never done any work in Georgia, so there's that, and then the people that don't agree with this law moved here from other states for work!
No worries, there all hot air.
No more stops in Georgia
If I were the film industry--or any other one, for that matter, and women should have a say--I'd pull out of the barbaric South as well.
Sounds like a plan, who cares, living without movies leaves more time for important things, like time for the family!
Sure won’t.
Life will go on without Hollyweird 😂
It does pose a risk to women of Georgia. I'll switch to Pepsi.
I Stand with Planned Parenthood: KEEP ABORTION SAFE AND LEGAL
No but Hollywood bullies who dont live in the state will lose money as us regular people who PAY for their entertinment will not anymore. Bullies straight up hate filled. Dont like the law dont live there or work there. Cleaner feeling already. Thanks Hollywood elites stay home.
The jobs and income of thousands of electricians, gaffers, carpenters; sound and camera people, caterers and security etc will be lost. But those Georgians will be ok ... they'll get lesser paying jobs and unemployment while supporting liltle brian's shiny new law.
Start contacting other companies. Like Delta, UPS, RandstadUSA, HansensNatural and CocaCola Let them know we’re not buying their goods and services until they stand up against the abuse as well! These are some of the largest companies in Georgia. Alyssa_Milano
but it’s okay if it poses a risk to women who want safe abortions?
Oh no.... Hollywood won't film here no more! People care more about their own morals and value then stupid films!! Get real morons!! Hollywood hollywoodlivesintwilightzone hollywoodsucks Entitled lowlifehollywood
Isn't it funny that cnn always has Liars on their show. First they have Avenetti who is a fraud in himself, then Comey who is part of the Russia hoax, and now SenBlumenthal who leid about his service in the military! Credible sources you have there! That's an all star lineup!
Because they won’t really boycott. And because the lives of the innocent are more important than Hollywood’s almighty dollar. Amazing that those people think they can blackmail Americans on morality.
He's absolutely right.
Stand strong Senator , let them leave...abortion is murder
Women's rights is not vacuuming an infant out of your womb.
He also doesn't think the GOP is complicit in Trump's destruction of democracy. They are.
Hollywood should stay in Hollywood
Abort old age republicans in Congress because they’re the perfect age
The Hollywood weirdos don't seem to understand that real people have real convictions. Suck it Hollywood!
This reminds me of the Handmaid's Tale in that women have no control over their bodies.
I hope you feel that loss soon! Men have no right telling a woman what they can do with their body! When a man can carry a baby, get back to me.
Just it’s moral standing
Does that include cnn? CNN produces lots of dramatic tv. The scripts are often poorly written.
Perhaps the increased birth control sales will help offset things.
Church and state will always be separate, that fact it got this far is grounds to remove the gov from office and any others the votes for it. Politicians act like they are above the law now because congress has gotten weak
Idiotic.
SpaceX what are YOU going to do?
Stay strong
He is probably the last NASTY NEOCONSERVATIVE, ALONG with those in Florida to win for quite a while. Change is coming, 'THEY' cannot deny anymore how broke they are and you can't blame demo this time
Exactly because only film thinks they that big lol
I totally agree Ga doesn't need the liberals and the film industry. They need to go back to California where they belong.
No body care about Hollywood Zombies
They will lose MILLIONS!! Then of course just like a typical Repuke, he’ll change his tune and claim he was never for the law to begin with! These Southern red states get what they deserve electing these fools!
NoSafeSeatsGA
Because they employ undocumented workers. Republicans and Clintons’ approve. Zero regulations. A lot of subsidies
Really, just watch
Bunch of nobody and has been actors
Did he attend Trump University?
You mean his own pocket. economy. People will lose jobs. People who normally work in the industry will be force to either leave the state or leave the industry in order to pay their bills.
Wellsir, time to start the How Many Industries Are Boycotting Georgia counter again.
Most of this firms running off at the mouth do not currently produce in Georgia anyway. Nothing lost, just companies try to use Georgia to look politically correct.
Idiot. No business making decisions for women
David Perdue thought wrong. I will not go to Georgia for any reason if they do not reverse their hate and control of women's bodies. NEVER
David you are as ignorant as Donald Trump! The GOP is the party of idiots! GOP means Group of Offensive People
Stay out of Georgia business! people of Georgia will decide who leads their state, they don't need advise from crazy town with needles, shit, homeless and drugs covering crazy towns streets! Fix your own damned problems before trying to destroy another state with UR Looney ideas!
Don't worry, GA will take in billions from these un-aborted fetuses to make up for it. Just like trumps tariffs.
Hollywood didn't boycott Hollywood for Weinstein.
Why aren't you speaking on Biden and Harris taking American's tax payers Medicare money going to illegals in USA. Speak truth.
F Hollywood
Simple BoycottGeorgia
sendavidperdue isn’t very smart. He has risen up on the highly uneducated and religious right. 2020 will be a different story.
It wont and Hollywood can back up there tents and leave!! WE CHOOSE LIFE OVER HOLLYWOOD! !
He's probably not wrong. Hollywood won't put its money where its mouth is. If Marvel pulled out of GA it would be huge, but they won't. They are more interested in making money.
How about it’s citizens (particularly women) and it’s reputation!
BREAKING NEWS...Production companies are NOT going to boycott Georgia AND women are NOT going to stop having sex...
There’s also a list of businesses headquartered in Georgia being circulated. This law is awful .
Good luck with that fantasy.
How about all women and girls make a 'caravan' exit from southeastern states
It’s only $9.5 billion annually. They can make it up with more road side peanut stands
Nobody I know will be moving to the the poor State of Georgia. Enjoy your selfness
Not until more pull out.
Singers and other convention venues need to join in the boycott too , hello DragonCon
