Get Out The Vote for Martin on Saturday Nov 15 in Greene County

Subject: [oconee] GOTV for Martin on Saturday Nov 15

Well-stated, Erika! This Saturday we are partnering with Black citizens of Greene Co. to get-out-the-vote for Martin and Powell. Also in the run-off for Greene Co. is a key school board position.  So far, we have 10 Oconee Co. volunteers signed-up for Saturday!!! And we need at least 10 more. Join us. We will work out of a staging location set-up in Greenesboro with wireless internet and a phone line. We will be doing phone banking and door-to-door canvassing with lists of registered democrats. Each volunteer can choose to do phone banking and/or canvassing. Canvassers will carry applications for absentee ballots. Whenever it's possible, we'll send canvassers out in biracial teams. For more details, including driving directions and how to sign-up, follow this link http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gsxd73

Hi Oconee Democrats,
       There is a need for volunteers to get out the vote for the run-off election. 
We are heading back to Greene County to make calls and canvass.  You may be surprised
of how happy the folks in Greene County were seeing so many whites faces interested
in their community and fighting for Obama.  Now we need the African American community to get
involved once again and go out and vote for Martin.  You may want to car pool there.
 
If however, this does not appeal to you, please try the phone banking that will start
this Friday at the Clarke County Democratic Headquarters.
Canvassing:
Saturday November 15 from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm; Sunday November 16 @ 2:00 pm 
Saturday November 22 @ 9:30, 1:00 pm or 4:00 pm. 
 
Or you may just wish to make a donation to www.MartinforSenate .com
Lets win at least this one for the Democrats in Georgia
Erika

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...
