A group of Republican legislators from Georgia is seeking to remove all Coca-Cola Company products from their offices after the company's top executive came out against the state's newly enacted election law.
The eight GOP state House representatives sent a letter to Kevin Perry, president and CEO of the Georgia Beverage Association, requesting that the products be removed from their offices immediately in response to Coca Cola's participation in the campaign to "cancel" the Peach State.
The lawmakers characterized the beverage giant's move to criticize the law as an intentional attempt to mislead Georgian residents and further divide the state.

"Free and fair elections are the foundation of who we are as a state and a nation. Secure, accessible, fair elections are worth the threats, they are worth the boycotts, as well as the lawsuits," Kemp told reporters during a press conference on April 3. "I want to be clear. I will not be backing down from this fight, and neither are the people who are here with me today."
