Dear Friend,

Grace Meng, Tulsi Gabbard, Kelda Roys, and Kyrsten Sinema -- four remarkable pro-choice Democratic women, all 36 years old or younger -- are fighting for their lives in hotly contested races.
 
Grace's primary is right around the corner on June 26. Tulsi's opponent has TV ads up already, and she needs to get on the air to respond. One of Kelda's opponents just dropped out, making her race a two-way fight. And a new poll shows Kyrsten is tied for the lead.

They can't win these close races unless you and I are there for them right now. We can have a new generation of amazing women speaking out for us in Congress if we act today.

Click here today to give directly to Grace,Tulsi, Kelda, and Kyrsten and help shape the next generation of pro-choice Democratic women leaders. Every dollar will go right to their campaigns.
 
This can be a transformational year in American politics. Grace, Tulsi, Kelda, and Kyrsten can fight for our values now and for years to come, but only if we see them through to victory.

As a young woman in politics, I can't wait to see what they can do!

Thank you for your support,

Emily Lockwood

Dear Emily,

We think it's high time for an old-fashioned brag: this cycle, we have four candidates, all 36 years old or under, who are ready to become the next generation of leaders in the House. They've already made a significant impact in their communities, and they're ready to take on the Eric Cantors and Paul Ryans of the House. Think young women just aren't that into politics? Think again.

20120607 - jezebel
  • Tulsi Gabbard, HI-02: Tulsi has the kind of resume that puts most of us to shame: at 31, she's already been the country's youngest-ever elected woman state legislator, served in Iraq, and she's an environmental advocate. Set to occupy the seat opened by Senate hopeful Mazie Hirono, Tulsi is just getting started -- this rising star is one to watch.
  • Kelda Roys, WI-02: An alum of the EMILY's List Political Opportunity Program, Kelda became Wisconsin's youngest serving woman lawmaker in 2008. A former Executive Director of NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin, Kelda would be a fierce defender of reproductive rights in the House when we need it the most. Anti-choicers? Time to be nervous.
  • Grace Meng, NY-06: Poised to be the first Asian-American to represent New York in Congress, Grace is the youngest Asian-American elected to the New York State Legislature. Grace has already stood up to Rush Limbaugh and you can bet she's ready to take on his Republican friends in Congress.
  • Kyrsten Sinema, AZ-09: Kyrsten has been a rare voice of sanity within Arizona state politics: she led the drives that successfully defeated a same-sex marriage ban in Arizona and an anti-affirmative action movement. A tenacious advocate for veterans and a champion of choice, Kyrsten is the anti-Jan Brewer.
Check out this blog post to learn more about these phenomenal young women and how they're going to change the face of Congress.

Thanks for being a part of our community.

Sincerely,

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...
