"Reform Forum" 7 PM Thursday in Oconee

We really need you to attend this health care forum Thursday at the Oconee County Library in Watkinsville.

Subject: [oconee] "Reform Forum" 7 PM Thursday in Oconee

 
Hello!

I'm passing along a message from Michael Smith, one of the political
organizers (with Russell Edwards) working to help us DEFEAT PAUL BROUN!

Smith's message pertains to the "Health Care Reform Forum" scheduled
Thursday in Watkinsville. The panel includes a medical billing
specialist . . . a law school professor who specializes in health care
policy, . . . and my wonderful husband, Neal, a local physician who is
-- like the other panelists -- well versed in the proposed health care
legislation.

I don't normally like to promote the food at such meetings, as I KNOW
that's not why you'd be coming! But we are going to have some healthy
snacks and hot cider. After all, our habits -- and food at social
settings -- play a part in our health!

Hope to see you!

Event co-organizer; proud member of the Oconee Democrats

Hi folks,

I hope each of you can make a commitment to make a major success the
Thursday 7 pm reform forum sponsored by the Oconee Democrats in
Watkinsville at the library. Oconee Dems did a great job this past year
in providing an alternative to Paul Broun, Jr.'s politics of division.

This Thursday, Feb 4th at 7pm we have the opportunity to start the
change of tone in NE GA's 10th Congressional District. Please go to
www.paulbrounjr.com to learn more about the event.

Then you can RSVP one of three different ways.

1. e-mail "Jonathan Veit"jveit@bellsouth.net; to RSVP, then e-mail
your address book.

2. RSVP via Pull the Plug event page on facebook
and then invite your friends with a personal message.

3. Go to www.ofarsvp.us if you have an Organizing for America account or
want to create one.

Please encourage your friends to attend!

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...
