County Chairs and State Committee Members message from Chair Patsy Harris post state committee meeting

This is a letter from Patsy Harris, chair of the 10th Congressional District of Georgia for the Democratic Party of Georgia (DPG) in the wake of the opening of their first satellite office in Augusta last weekend as well as the State Committee Meeting. The JJ Dinner below is the Jefferson Jackson Dinner, Saturday, May 21, 2011in Atlanta.
Subject: Hi Chairs and State Committee Members

What an incredible day we had last Saturday at the Georgia Democratic State Committee Meeting in Augusta!
There is so much to tell you about, but I will just hit the highlights.
First of all, and most important, the DPG officers, and especially RJ Hadley, Vice Chair of County Parties, really want us to work hard in disseminating information from Counties to DPG and from DPG to Counties. All of us are part of the network that is being set up.
  • Each Chair and his/her State Committee Member(s) must work together to get info to your members.
  • The DPG will relay information to you through me, your District Chair, and through the Sate Committee Member.
  • You all will relay information through me, which will go to its proper place - the DPG, the DPG website, or to the other District Chairs.
Check out the new DPG website: www.georgiademocrat.org
State Committee Members, don't forget to fill out your DPG committee preferences form. Let me know if you need another. Members of all the DPG committees will be from each district.
Next SC Meeting is before the JJ Dinner on May 21, 2011, probably in Atlanta. More details to come.
JJ Dinner! May 21. President Carter will be there. Rep. John Lewis will accept an award. I'll get the details and costs and info about sharing a table and send it to you.
DPG Chairman Mike Berlon has about 30 spots he can fill on the State Committee. Do you know of a fine, active Democrat who would like to serve for a year?
The HOPE Scholarship debacle would make a great letter to the editor right now!
Democrat Vernon Thomas is in the runoff for County Commissioner in Columbia Co. Election Day is April 12, and they could use our elbow grease. Contact their Chairman, General Bob Gray at ltgrgray@aol.com
More to come

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 Larry used
