I strongly urge everyone in the 117th to support Regina Quick in the GOP Primary July 31st Sincerely,  Dan Matthews Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2012 02:20:31 -0400 Subject: REGINA QUICK in the NEWS - Support Growing! From: angelameltzer.cpa@gmail.com To: angelameltzer.cpa@gmail.com REGINA QUICK IN THE NEWS # 1 It's very exciting to be reporting that Regina Quick is receiving fantastic support from all over the district and, quite wonderfully, very bi-partisan support . BOTH Democrats and Republicans are behind Regina. In addition, support is coming from outside the district too. Seems people from "other parts too" really do want to be rid of McKillip in the State House.

Oconee County Sheriff Scott Berry just called to let us know he will be addressing the Oconee County Democratic Committee meeting 7:00 pm Thursday, June 21, 2012 at Government Annex at 1291 Greensboro Highway along with Oconee County Board of Commissioners chairman Melvin Davis and candidate Tammy Gilland. We will expect no more than five more of oratory from the candidates and have a large gong set up to ring every time they mention the word "conservative" (just kidding about that last one). But the choice of words is always something I pay attention, along with diction and brevity. I would challenge the candidates to demonstrate to us their independence and difference from the standard Republican orthodoxy and perhaps make distinctions on their positions even from those who they are at the same meeting at. Then again, they could discuss American Idol or the Hatfields and McCoys if they really wanted to.
