Two elections down, one to go! Thanks to your support, the Jim Powell campaign for Public Service Commissioner is on a roll. Jim won the Democratic Primary with 85% of the vote, and on November 4 was the top vote-getter in the General Election, receiving more than 1.7 million votes statewide.

 

Now, one very important step to victory remains: the General Election Runoff on December 2, 2008. Runoff elections are a very different dynamic, and conventional wisdom is that Democrats do not return to the polls for runoffs. We will have to prove that thinking wrong this year!

 

It will take additional campaign funding for that to happen. Jim's opponent is raising money from the utility industry's executives, corporate lobbyists and lawyers. Jim has pledged not to do so. We need you to join us. Please click here to make an online contribution today.

 

In this year's presidential election, we saw what can be done when Democrats come together for change. President-elect Obama will be a great President, but change is also needed in Georgia's U.S. Senate delegation and on the Georgia Public Service Commission. The "two Jims" – Martin and Powell – will be strong additions to the Democrats' winning team in 2008.

 

Jim Powell needs your help. Please forward this message to all of your family, friends and other contacts to let them know victory is in sight, but we must turn out again for this runoff vote. Absentee voting will start very soon, and advance voting will be held the week of November 24.

 

Keep in touch, and let's keep the winning momentum going for Jim Powell!

 

 

Thanks,

George

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...
