What is FREE ENTERPRISE?
FREE ENTERPRISE means that people are free to produce, exchange, and consume goods and services, without government interference, so long as such activity does not involve the infringement of peoples' Rights.

In the case of such infringement, the damaged party or parties have the Right to seek remedy through the appropriate government authorities and to receive compensation in proportion to the damages incurred.

The proper role of state government is to promote (but not provide) free enterprise within Georgia and to NULLIFY any and all federal measures which attempt to interfere with Free Enterprise in Georgia for which authority is not explicitly delegated by the US Constitution. 

Furthermore, buyers and consumers have the Right to be properly informed as to the known risks of using or consuming products and services offered by producers and suppliers.  With such proper disclosure, producers and suppliers should not be held liable for damages incurred by users or consumers based on choices made by such users or consumers with proper informed consent. 

​On the other hand, where producers and suppliers fail to provide honest disclosure of known risk information or who fail to disclose the facts where such risks are not known, they can and should be held accountable for any harm caused as a result.

For example, if a person purchases and consumes a product clearly labeled as not for consumption, with the risks of such consumption provided, that consumer cannot hold the producer or supplier liable for their own decision to consume such a product when they have been properly informed.  However, if a producer or supplier fails to provide such information or provides false information and a buyer or consumer is harmed as a result, then the producer or supplier can be held liable for actual damages.

With all this in mind, there are many legislative areas relating to Free Enterprise which should be reviewed to identify the need for new legislation in cases where the current law is inadequate to secure the Right of Free Enterprise for all in Georgia.
