Karen, please get out right away.  Thanks, Gwen

NOW OR NEVER!!!
You've been wanting to do something, right? Well, it's "now or never" time!  And right now, canvassing is the most important thing you can do. 
Canvassing is the only way to make sure the over 8,000 new voters we registered and inconsistent Democratic voters get to the polls.  Canvassing is the way to win this election.

By election day, we need 200 trained volunteers used to going door-to-door for the FINAL PUSH.  If you want to be a part of this frontline effort, give us just 2 hours of your time on the next two weekends. Here's what canvassers can expect:
➢    You'll be talking to friendly Democrats!
➢    You'll be prepared through training, informational literature, and a script to talk with voters.  We guarantee that you will be adequately prepared!
➢    You won't have to go alone!
➢    You'll go door-to-door and talk person-to-person!
➢    You will learn about your community!
➢    You'll get exercise, be outside, & feel a sense of pride!

Interested?  If so, read the information below on times and then reply to this e-mail.  In your e-mail response give the dates and times you will work.

The BIG Canvassing PUSH will take place the last weekend before Election Day on Saturday, Sunday, & Monday -- November 1, 2 & 3.
 
On Election Day, we will run three 4-hour shifts at 9:00 AM, 12:30PM, and 4PM.  Will you commit to one of these times now?
Starting times for door-to-door canvassing, including training, are as follows:
Wednesdays (Oct. 15, 22, 29) 5:15PM to 7PM;
Saturdays (Oct. 18, 25, Nov. 1) at 9:30AM, 12:30PM & 3:30PM
Sundays (Oct. 19, 26, Nov. 2) at 2PM and 5PM; and
Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 3 & 4=Election Day! at 9:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and 3:30 PM for 4 hours.

Most Important: Reply to this e-mail with the times and dates you can work.  Be sure to include your cell/phone number so that we can call you, if needed.  For more information you may come by or call us at:

Democratic Hdqtrs = 220 Prince Ave; 706-850-6900
    Obama Hdqtrs = 2092 Prince Ave; 706-208-5218

WHATEVER YOU DO…
Tell your friends.  Help us recruit others.  They're needed!

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...
