Let me echo all the beautiful messages of thanks on a job well done on so many levels. 

We are working hard in Oconee County to have a positive presence.  We would love to add any of you to our listserve--just let me know.  There are lots of opportunities to be involved:
 
1. Our meetings are the first Thursday of each month (as in tomorrow) at the
Oconee County Government Annex
1291 Greensboro Highway
7:00 pm is social with the meeting starting at 7:30 pm.  We would love to have all of you. 

2.  All interested in discussing  political issues gather at Krimson Kafe for lunch on the 2nd Saturday after the 1st Thursday.

3. Third Thursdays are Book Club at Five Points Deli on Epps Bridge Rd.

4.  Sunday series are programs we present for the community on the last Sunday evening of the month.

5.  Once a quarter we pick up litter with the Young Dems of Oconee County High School to maintain our section of the Oconee Connector.

and many other annual events!  Most importantly we are a fun, dedicated group!

By the way my "real" job is in substance abuse so I'll be glad to help anyone with "Obama withdrawal"!

Beautifully stated, JP! I second your words of praise and gratitude. As I look over each name on this list, I feel privileged just knowing a little bit about how each of you have stood-up and propelled this incredible campaign forward. Thanks, JP, for pledging to continue the http://www.obama.great-usa.com site as a tool for supporting the Obama administration, mid-term races, and re-election in 2012. It's clear that there's never been a more crucial time to stay in the game. I look forward to the next round of voter registration drives and GOTV pushes. In the meantime, I'm joining our local democrats here in Oconee Co. Anyone know their next meeting time/location? Is it true they have a 12-step program for recovering Obamamanics?
 
With gratitude for all we did and will yet do,
Carl

Congratulations and thank you to all who have helped earn this great victory. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with such a group of wonderful people on this legendary and  historic campaign. Beyond a political victory, it is the affirmation of our highest values and of the core principles that this nation was founded on.
Our work in Georgia, and the gains it produced, were very important in laying the foundation for ongoing work to build competence and integrity in Georgia politics.
The http://www.obama.great-usa.com site will continue to chronicle and support the Obama presidency, and will begin work in support of the mid term races and towards 2012 re-election campaign.
Thanks all! JP Crisan.

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...
