Vote like your future depends on it. Because it does.


From: "Raven Bennett, Ken Dious for Congress 10th District"
Vote like your future depends on it. Because it does.





If the future is important to you, then the 10th Congressional election matters more than you think.


I'm writing you to let you know about Attorney Ken Dious, the Democratic Nominee for U.S. Congress in the 10th District. In his forty years practicing law, Ken has traveled and served the people throughout this area and is familiar with their issues and concerns. Ken's life work as an attorney, businessman and community leader has well prepared him for the challenges of leading the 10th District. 

Ken faces an uphill battle on November 4th against his opponent, Jody Hice. Who is Jody Hice? Let him tell you for himself.  If elected, Mr. Hice will potentially disenfranchise many voters and could potentially set the district back 60 years with his extremely inflammatory remarks against women's rights, race, religion and sexual orientation. Not only will Mr. Hice be fully ineffectual in congress when it comes to policy making, he will fail to attract desperately needed industry and economic development because companies will not want to be affiliated with him. Georgia has a rich and growing biomedical and manufacturing base that needs to be promoted. Mr. Hice continues to be a national embarassment to Georgia . Without a strong contest, Jody Hice will win. 

America is a remarkable place. It's a place where we can express ourselves without the fear of our government. It's a place where our sons and our daughters can grow up to pursue the lives they want. It's a place where everyone is valued and everyone is protected under the law. These are not black values or white values. These are not democratic values or republican values. These are American values. 


Now is the time we need to stand up and protect our country from fanatics on both sides of the political aisle. There's a job to do and we need to send people that can get that job done. The opposition is counting on voters in an off election year to stay home and not vote; but remember this is how we arrived where we are now. Not voting is not the answer. We do not have to concede our vote.


Ken is committed to taking a rational and conservative approach to finding common ground with Democrats and Republicans; creating workable solutions to the many problems we face, both locally and nationally, instead of engaging in partisan divisiveness. 
We can win this election if we educate, share and participate. Please forward and share this email with your friends, families and colleagues. Elect Ken Dious on Tuesday, November 4th.

Sincerely, 

Raven Bennett
Campaign Director, Ken Dious, U.S. Congress, 10th District

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...
