FW: [AthensForObama] Chad Brock for Obama Alternate-Delegate of the 10 Congressional District

I whole heartedly endorse Karen Solheim and David Jarrett for Obama delegates and Chad Brock for alternate. Please attend the Congressional District 10 delegate selection meeting 9 am Saturday morning at Clarke Central HS in Athens.

Woven brightly,
Daniel J. Matthews, Jr.



Fellow Obama Supporters,

I have met many of you through my work as State Coordinator of Georgia Students for Barack Obama and as Deputy Field Coordinator for the Obama for America Campaign in Georgia. I am a Senior at the University of Georgia and I worked predominately in Athens and Atlanta.

I would like to announce my candidacy for Obama Alternate Delegate, representing the 10 Congressional District of Georgia at  the 2008 Democratic Convention. I have worked tirelessly on behalf of the Obama campaign since April of 2007 and if I am elected, I pledge to vote for Senator Obama from the floor of the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

The 2008 Democratic Convention could very well be the most historical and contested conventions of our lifetime. Due to Senator Clinton's insistence on continuing her campaign until the convention, it is clear that the Democratic nominee will be decided at the Convention.

Despite the fact that Senator Obama took the state of Georgia, including our very own 10th Congressional District, the "pledged delegates" of this district could very well ignore our votes and cast their ballot for Senator Clinton.

Therefore, it is imperative that we elect delegates that will uphold the will of the people and act on their own conviction that Senator Obama should be our Democratic nominee and our next President!

I would greatly appreciate your support this Saturday at our 10 District Delegate Election. The election will begin promptly at 10:00 AM and will be held at Clarke Central High School in Athens, GA.

A vote for me will be a vote for Senator Obama!

Here are my qualifications:

Obama for America Campaign
Deptuty Field Coordiantor/Student Coordinator (November 2007-February 2008)

-Developed and organized field operations across the state
-Helped set up 10 offices across the state and made thousands of voter contacts in each of our
targeted districts. In the 10 counties where we had offices, Senator Obama received at least 70% of the vote
-Helped organize several out-of-state trips to South Carolina, where we assisted in canvassing, voter registration, and GOTV operations
-I trained and led canvassing efforts in the Athens-Clarke County and oversaw the execution of our GOTV operation in Athens-Clarke County


Students for Barack Obama
Georgia Director (April 2007-May 2008)

-During my term, I built a true statewide campaign with 22 high school and college chapters across the state. As a state chapter, we contributed over 10,000 volunteer hours and contacted over 50,000 voters
-I utilized new mediums such as Facebook, which has completely revolutionized political organizing. Facebook has played an integral role in bringing historical numbers of students and young professionals into the political process.We recruited over 1,500 students through Facebook, which made us one of the largest Students for Barack Obama chapters in the country
 
-GA Students for Barack Obama played an instrumental role in Senator Obama's grassroots campaign here in GA and CNN exit polls showed that 81% of GA voters (age 18-24) voted for Senator Obama

 
Thank you all for your time and for your support of Senator Obama's campaign!

Sincerely,
Chad Brock

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
