HARRIS COUNTY, Ga. – A sheriff in western Georgia said he is getting a big reaction from a "politically incorrect" sign.

According to WLTZ-TV, Sheriff Mike Jolley of Harris County, Ga., put up the new welcome sign outside the sheriff's office in Hamilton, Ga.

The sign reads:

"Welcome to Harris County, Georgia! WARNING: Harris County is politically incorrect. We say: Merry Christmas, God Bless America and In God We Trust; We salute our troops and our flag. If this offends you… LEAVE!"

Jolley told WLTZ-TV that there's a vast majority of people who are silent about their beliefs but he's not going to remain quiet.

"I spent 20 years in the Army to give everyone the right not to agree with it and to voice their opinion if they're not, and that's fine," Jolley explained.

Jolley said he bought the sign with his own money.

Since putting it up Tuesday morning, he said that he's gotten several donations from people living in the county supporting his way of speaking out.
