Martin for U.S. Senate advertising campaign begins on Georgia TV


Martin for Senate Contribute Volunteer


Dear Dan,

Today, I am honored to send you a copy of our first television commercial of the general election campaign, just as our race emerges as one of the most competitive U.S. Senate races in the country.

Honored, because it contains a strong message from my friend, Max Cleland, who was the target of a shameless campaign attack in 2002 carried out by my opponent in this race, Saxby Chambliss. In the ad, Max and I take it directly to Chambliss for supporting economic policies that are wrong for America.

We are launching our statewide television campaign with this ad today. We are doing so for two simple reasons:  First, we know that Saxby Chambliss is about to start spending his millions on television, and we do not intend to cede the airwaves to him as we head into the fall.

Second, I know that I can count on you. Unlike Saxby Chambliss, I have not spent the past six years building a war chest with the support of the special interests. Unlike Saxby Chambliss, I do not have enough money in the bank to stay on television until Election Day – but I do have you.

Your support has been critical to my campaign. As difficult as I find it to ask my friends for contributions, I need your help in order to keep our message on the air.

Please check out our new ad by clicking on the image below, and then make as generous a contribution as possible – $250, $100, $50, or whatever you can give, would truly make a difference. Contribute online today by clicking on this paragraph! 



Please help me keep this ad on the air by clicking here and contributing now!

Many of the pundits thought that we could not win in the Democratic primary, but with your help, we proved them wrong. Despite polls showing us within 5% of Chambliss, many of those same pundits will continue searching for reasons to doubt us until we win. Chambliss may have the edge with the pundits – but I have you, and I am deeply appreciative of your support.

Best wishes,

Jim

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...

A deep wound waiting to be healed - restoring order and dignity in the city cemetery

Image
The Watkinsville City Cemetery is an oasis amidst the houses on the east side of the municipality, near the neighborhood once called Sidney. There is a large section of the cemetery that remains a mystery, but perhaps we can work together to dignify the eternal resting spot somewhat better than the current neglected and forgotten (not to mention unmarked) graves of 70 people, more than likely of African-American descent. They deserve to be honored as well. An effort has been undertaken to repair the graves with fill dirt to stop the continued erosion amongst the graves. The most recent grave and bench belong to Larry Sheats,  and as any one who played basketball at Herman C. Michael Park or knew him otherwise  can attest, he was among the best people this county has ever seen. Larry was always ready to help. Now it is our turn to help. Do it for someone you knew there, maybe the Hardens, or the Downs, or any number of other people, but allow me to reminisce about how L...

I strongly disagree with the impending demolishing of the iconic Watkinsville Water Tower

Image
I know the Watkinsville Water Tower near where the "Big Spring" of what was one called Big Springs, Georgia serves no functional purpose anymore. I know it is a hazard. I know it is rusty and old and past its usefulness for the most part. I see a purpose beyond the aesthetic and instead as a possible financial benefit.  I know there is a way to keep it and make money for our municipality. I wonder who is doing the seemingly shoddy job of removing it (or at least preparing to raze it) and who stands to make money off that?  The dismantling of the Watkinsville Water Tower has already caused one gas leak and I can only imagine what problems await the demolition of the dinosaur.  If it is only because a group of kids have been crawling up it, then build a fence around it. I would think the City of Watkinsville would benefit and making monthly lease fees if they would instead do what about 90% of these abandoned water towers do and that is become a cellular telephone tow...
