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.

So I guess he is tired of selling real estate with his son? This would be a complete disaster if he was selected for this position. First of all, this is not a political position. Second you do not campaign for this post in a traditional campaign sense. Third Mr. Smith has almost zero legitimate higher academic credentials. Fourth Smith kept going third person in his interview on Tim Bryant's Newsmaker Wednesday position and came across as crass, a cheerleader at best and with no practical knowledge of academia.

One of the Oconee County Democratic Committee members Pat Adams sent me this letter today. I do not know the person who wrote it. But it is a well written letter, I do not know what Congressman Paul Broun's reaction would be February 4, 2011 An Open Letter to   Paul C. Broun Dear Paul, Repeal the new healthcare law?   Deny funding for the new healthcare law?   Are you kidding?   You need to try as hard as possible to imagine you and your family without health insurance facing a medical crisis, just like many of the people in your district do.   Is this what you want for your constituents – uncertainty and possibility of financial ruin because of no health insurance?   (What about the 700,000 Americans who declare bankruptcy each year because they can’t afford to pay their medical bills?) Instead of trying to repeal the limited gains the American people have achieved in the newly passed healthcare law, why don’t you try to expand the government’s r...
