Oconee County, GA Politics

Former Oconee County Democratic Chair Becky Vaughn ran against former State Representative Bob Smith and former State Senator Brian Kemp for various offices and recently moved to Washington, DC to become a full time lobbyist while renting out her Oconee County home. The real estate market has improved enough where she sold her Jennings Mill house, and she is selling various items tomorrow. I would suggest entering on the back side off Jimmy Daniel Road and it is the second or third house on the right side on Meriweather coming from that direction off 316. Come say so long to Becky before she moves back to DC permanently with her youngest daughter Carter. Woven brightly,  Daniel J.

If 40 people (rich, poor, old, young, gay, straight, black, white, Asian, male, female, blonde, brown, gray and bald) can come out in the rain to a house in Jennings Mill to hear an Obama staffer (from Mississippi by way of New Hampshire) talk about canvassing selected precincts with little more than 24 hours notice, then I think we shall see a rousing win for the Senator from Illinois in the Georgia Presidential Preference Primary on Super Duper Tuesday. Please remember to go vote Tuesday. Get out the VOTE!

7 pm Thursday in the back end of Jennings Mill there will be an organizing meeting for weekend canvassing for Senator Barack Obama at the home of the Bodansky family at 1040 Miller's Lake Landing (just off Jimmy Daniel back entrance of Jennings Mill on the right). Clearly the symbolism of the wealthy white golf and country club suburb folks supporting Obama is an outstanding sign of things yet to come this Tuesday for Georgia and the best hope for real change in Obama for Oconee. There is also an Obama HQ at 116 Sycamore in Athens. Get a sign, vote during the advance period, be brave and vote for the best candidate.
