A Georgia state lawmaker who supported legislation to drug test welfare recipients was arrested last week, suspected of driving under the influence, Raw Story reports.
Georgia state House Rep. Chuck Sims (R-Ambrose) was pulled over in Coffee County, Ga., on April 2 after being spotted driving erratically by a police officer, the Douglas Enterprise reported. Sims also was cited for DUI in 2010; that DUI charge was later dismissed and he pleaded guilty to reckless driving, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Just as I do not intend to seek any special treatment, I hope that I am not unfairly pre-judged based on rumor and speculation," Sims said in a statement after being released on bond, the AJC reported. "I am confident that as facts of this situation are revealed, the interests of justice will be served.
In 2012, Sims joined his GOP colleagues in the Georgia Legislature to pass a bill requiring applicants for welfare benefits to pay for and pass a drug test.
"Commonsense legislation like [this] lets the people of this state know that their legislature is hard at work for them, said state Rep. Michael Harden (R-Toccoa), the bill's sponsor, upon its passage.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R), a supporter of the welfare requirement, has halted implementation of the law, pending the federal court's ruling on similar legislation in Florida.
In February, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld a lower court's ruling that the Florida statute violated the Constitution's ban on unreasonable searches

If you're referring to Michele Bachman the answer is yes she does on 2 fronts, so before you dismiss the rest of my examples try doing your own research dumb ass. Your choice if you want to remain ignorant to the truth, but because you don't know any different you can't just dismiss this or the story in whole.
Was he getting welfare? If he wasn't on welfare, what's your point?
WOW, hilarious.
So he wants other people who basically get free money from the govt to be tested. But he basically gets free money from the govt, but cant seem to keep drugs (yes, alcohol is a drug) out of his system while driving.

And seeing he's a congressman from the bible belt, WHO KNOWS what kinds of substances he's been snorting out of the bellybuttons of hookers...
drug test all welfare recipients ....get rid of the fraud !!I guess that failing the test will disqualify him from using publicly funded roads
Then you should drug test the banksters, oil execs, farmers, State Governors, Michele Bachman and others who receive Government Welfare too, but it's called "subsidies", agree or disagree?
Now that partial group of individuals I named would really help get rid of the fraud. B
Talk about Karma
It's true, Karma is a bitch!!!!
