Letter to all Oconee County Democrats



Dear Oconee County Democrats:

We need your support, and our country needs your support.

Democrats in Oconee County are many and have fantastic gifts to offer their community. However, many of us think there’s no chance to impact Oconee County, Georgia, or our Country because the Republicans run everything. This is not the case. At the minimum we can help shape the debate in all levels by actively participating; if all our efforts are fruitful we will place Democrats in positions where they can work to improve our government. We’re asking you to share your talents with us to build a country level organization that can present progressive values to our community. Here’s what we can do:

1. All Democrats need to become members of the Oconee County Democrats. We need to increase our efforts in order to ensure that our Democratic values are expressed in every corner of our Country. We need to be seen at every meeting.

2. Consider participating in the Democracy Bonds project of the Democratic Party. Howard Dean has been doing a fantastic job emphasizing the grass-roots nature of the Democratic Party. He is funding permanent organizers and trainers in all 50 states through the use of money raised from the Democracy Bonds project. The Republicans have their big money donors, but we have millions of people who can give a little to fund grassroots organizing and the 50 state strategy. We cannot cede any more to the Republicans, including Oconee County. Go to www.dnc.org/ to learn more and join.

3. Organize you local precinct. We need the brainpower and the hustle of all Oconee Democrats to increase the level of Democratic voters in our county. Help organize a team in your precinct. Throw a party and get to know your neighbors.

4. Join one of the committees of the Oconee Democrats or start a committee in which you see a need. How about fundraising, parties, guest speakers, letter writing, letters to the editor, come to our monthly meetings, list-serv, website, blog or more?

Get started by filling out, detaching, and returning the form below. Check out www.oconeedemocrats.org as well.

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
