10th District delegate caucus

Note first that the doors open an hour earlier than previously mentioned at Clarke Central. I hope a lot of Athens and Oconee County Democrats turn out to support David Jarrett and Karen Solheim

Woven brightly,
Daniel J. Matthews, Jr.


Subject: [oconee] 10th District delegate caucus

There has been a final revision in the time  schedule  for the 10th district Democratic  Caucus.
As a reminder, all Democrats living in the 10th Congressional District are invited to attend the Caucus next Saturday April 19th in the Community Room at Clarke Central High School

Doors will open at 9:00 AM and will lock at 10:00AM (Please note this is a change from the last notice) There will be about 45 minutes of speeches from the candidates for election as Delegates to the Democratic National Convention and then we will vote.  There are about 7 candidates for each delegate position.
We will elect one male and one female delegate pledged to Obama and one male and one female pledged to Clinton and an alternative delegate pledged to Obama.
Ag Commissioner Tommy Irvin is running for the male Clinton Delegate and is favored to win. I am running for the single male Obama pledged delegate and my very stiff opposition includes a State Senator from Augusta who promises to bring bus loads of supporters. Karen Solheim also is running against strong opposition for the female Obama delegate.

If you wish Athens/Clarke and Oconee Counties to have representation at the convention you need to come on Saturday and vote for Karen and me. Please bring any one you know who is willing to be identified as a Democrat to be part of this fascinating event. It will be the last chance to be part of the national decision making process prior to the convention. We will need all the votes we can get to be able to represent you at the convention. Please come and tell your friends.
Thank you.
David Jarrett

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
