Georgians Deliver Cease and Desist Order to GOP HQ
Demand end to extreme politics
Atlanta, Ga. - October 15, 2013 -  With only two days before a threatened default on the nation's debts, Georgians outraged by the shutting down of vital government services and willingness to drive the United States government into default, are issuing a Cease and Desist order at the Georgia GOP Headquarters, 11:00 a.m. Tues., Oct. 15, 2013. 

"The US House leadership is threatening to drive the United States into defaulting on its debts and the clock is ticking. We are demanding that Republicans stop the extreme politics, which are destroying the American Dream of prosperity for all," said Larry Pellegrini, executive director of USAction affiliate Georgia Rural Urban Summit.

Steve Toggerson, of the MoveOn.org Gwinnett Council said, "We are delivering a cease and desist order demanding that Republicans stop derailing the government, wrecking the economy and destroying the livelihoods of Georgia's working families. In two weeks of the government shutdown caused by extreme politics, 400,000 Americans remain out of work and millions of American families are being denied services. And now the Republicans are saying they will only honor the nation's debts if they can cut Social Security and Medicare. We demand they cease and desist today from destroying the American dream."

The Cease and Desist order is being delivered to the GOP members and affiliates by costumed circus characters to reinforce the public's opinion that Congress has become a circus. The circus characters will also introduce Georgians who describe the harm to their families from the government shut down, proposed GOP cuts in Social Security and Medicare and the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner has linked ending the government shutdown to de-funding the Affordable Care Act and preventing the United States from defaulting to cuts in Social Security and Medicare.

The Cease and Desist order is one of many delivered today to the offices of Republican members of Congress throughout the country.   
The Georgia Republican Party Headquarters are located at 3110 Maple Drive, NE, Atlanta, GA 30305.

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...
