Dear Daniel,

On a radio interview just the other day, Saxby Chambliss commented on the current economic crisis and said:

"This is a very, very serious situation, and I think it is much more serious than the average American understands."

All over the state, thousands of middle-class Georgians are struggling from paycheck to paycheck. You don't have to be a rocket scientist (or a United States Senator) to understand that Georgia has the second-highest job loss rate in the country, or to see that folks are losing their homes to foreclosure.

Saxby thinks we don't get it, but we understand all too well the perilous state of our economy. Fortunately, so does Jim Martin. That's why Jim has been traveling all over the state, talking to voters, and answering their questions. And the voters have responded.

As you know, in the last few weeks, this race has tightened dramatically. Numerous polls show Jim tied with Saxby. But a tie is not good enough. To send Saxby home, we need a win. We need your help today.

We've got Saxby running scared. GOP State Party Chair Sue Everhart has told the Republican faithful that Saxby is in for "the fight of his life." And when a candidate like Saxby is backed into a corner, that's when the smears and sleaze go into overdrive. With the special interests behind him, Saxby is flooding the airwaves with negative, malicious commercials attacking Jim Martin's character. With your help, we can fight the smears.

Help us end the lack of leadership from Saxby Chambliss. By clicking here, you'll give us the resources we need to show Saxby the door. You can make a contribution to fight Saxby's lies about Jim Martin and restore honor and dignity back to the United States Senate.

Thanks for your support!

Matt Weyandt, Executive Director

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...

Don't dissolve North High Shoals

This is a great small city with a strong local contingent of active parents, homeowners and folks looking for the quiet, secluded, rural life. Seems some people are upset over recent election activity and are not real happy with the new person elected to the city council. Now let me be the first to admit, newest city council member Steve Holzman and I are friends and serve on the Oconee County Democratic Committee together, but this irrational fear of him on the part of some previously elected officials is irrational, unwise and cowardly. I would strongly suggest that Mayor Jeff Thomas need not resign unless he is actually tired of working for the city. I would also suggest that Council member Eddie Cape need not attempt to dissolve the city unless there was some other reason that a little bit of discontent over three registered Democrats being on the city council at the same time. It takes much more than one upset city council member or a resigning Mayor to dissolve a city council. It...
