Last reminder to have dinner with Bill Clinton Saturday night in Atlanta

Martin for Senate Contribute Volunteer

Dear Dan,

I hope you received my email yesterday regarding an event we are hosting this Saturday night, October 25th, with President Clinton. The event will help raise the funds we need to get voters to the polls and stay on television during the final week of the campaign.

The event will take place from 7:15 - 9:15 p.m., at Trois, 1180 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30309. We are asking all those who can join President Clinton and me for the event to contribute to the campaign. Please RSVP by calling Erin Malone at (404) 347-9766 or by emailing her at erin.malone@martinforsenate.com.

For those of you who would like to attend a pre-reception in which you will have your picture taken with President Clinton, further details are available at the link below.

Please click here for more details on the event with President Clinton.

President Clinton's visit will follow a busy week for the campaign in which Senator Jim Webb of Virginia also visited Georgia to stump with me and a group of veterans. Senator Webb, who is a true war hero, graciously praised my service in Vietnam and endorsed my bid to become Georgia's next United States Senator.

But as Senator Webb and I were out campaigning on Tuesday, new outside groups were launching attacks against me - an inevitable consequence of closing this race to a dead heat. Saxby Chambliss's friends are clearly scrambling to give his sagging campaign a lift.

Just this week, a group called Freedom's Watch started running television ads on behalf of Chambliss. Freedom's Watch is a front group for a Las Vegas billionaire named Sheldon Adelson - a man who the New Yorker magazine called the "ruthless casino baron who rules Las Vegas."

Meanwhile, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has released a pair of ads continuing Chambliss's misleading smears against my record in the Georgia Legislature.

So, again, please help us stay on the air by attending Saturday night's event or next Tuesday night's closing event of the campaign at Manuel's Tavern in Atlanta.

For details on the event with President Clinton, simply click here.

Have no doubt - Chambliss and his friends will be slinging more mud over the next 12 days. As folks have started saying around the campaign, "fasten your seatbelts!" Together, however, we are going to win.

Sincerely,

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...
