Save the Date - DPG State Dinnner - Sept. 26

I could care less whether they call this the Jefferson-Jackson dinner, the Carter-Nunn dinner, or the Georgia Democratic Party needs money dinner, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is an amazing speaker, and I think she would make a better President than Hilary, Bernie or Elizabeth Warren.

Saturday, September 26, 2015 at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta
Guest speaker – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar
(Ticketing information to come)
Dan,
  
The Democratic Party of Georgia is pleased to invite you to the Democratic Party of Georgia State Dinner, to be held on Saturday, September 26, at the Hyatt Regency.
And we are thrilled to announce that U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar will deliver our keynote address.
Senator Klobuchar was the first woman elected to represent Minnesota in the U.S. Senate. She's a champion of our Democratic values, from creating good jobs to protecting civil rights to improving public education. A gifted public servant and staunch advocate of progressive values, Sen. Klobuchar appeared on a recent list of women most likely to become President and is often mentioned as a potential Supreme Court nominee.
Plus, I hear she gives a helluva barnburner of a speech.
Georgia could learn a lot from Minnesota—they've expanded Medicaid, invested in infrastructure, made education and job training priorities, and asked those at the top to pay their fair share.
Senator Klobuchar's address will cap off an evening filled with fellowship, inspirational words from Georgia Democratic leaders…and a few surprises we have up our sleeves.
This dinner is more than just a fundraiser—it's an opportunity for us to gather together, break bread, and reaffirm our commitment to build a better future for our state. 
Georgia has left too many people behind, and it's up to us—the Democratic community—to right the GOP's wrongs. Next year, we must elect Democrats up and down the ballot. Democrats who will stand for our values. Unwavering and unapologetic.
So join Sen. Klobuchar, our Party leaders, and me in forging a new Georgia Democratic majority. Mark September 26 on your calendars and witness what's sure to be a memorable evening. 
I look forward to seeing you there, 
DuBose Porter
Chair, Democratic Party of Georgia
The Democratic Party of Georgia State Dinner is the dinner formerly known as the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner.

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...
