2,677 grassroots pledges

Organizing for America
Friend --

It's been a powerful week for OFA.

On Monday, the President called on us to help build this movement for the final weeks of the 2010 election.

Tens of thousands of supporters answered that call -- matching another grassroots donation and doubling their impact on this movement.

And the growth has been exponential -- with one supporter inspiring another, who in turn inspires two more to take that next step and chip in.

This is how we will build the organization we need to win close elections across the country this fall.

There are still 2,677 supporters across the country who made a promise to match a grassroots donation -- and they're counting on you to take that next step.

Make a $5 donation -- and get it doubled -- today.

I know from experience how inspiring it is to get that note of encouragement and thanks from a fellow supporter who matched your donation.

It's then that you feel the power of this movement. You see people coming together because they believe in this cause:

    -- A firefighter in Fort Collins, CO, matched an engineer in Wichita, KS.

    -- A nurse in Solomons, MD, matched a school bus driver in Quincy, FL.

    -- A songwriter in Bellingham, WA, matched a railroad worker in Kirtland, OH.

These matches get me fired up. They are a reminder that each of us, across the country, is doing all we can to keep our country moving forward.

There's a lot at stake this November -- and we're giving everything we've got. No party has ever put together such an ambitious plan for an election like this.

Let's keep going -- please match a $5 grassroots donation today:

Thanks,

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...
