Oconee County Democratic party Response To Anti-Healthcare Protest (Details Below)
Last night's Oconee County Democratic Committee meeting was an overflow session of some serious plans of action to let the world know that some folks here support our President and his plans to make insurance more affordable for all Americans. This pre-emptive activity is planned for the Watkinsville library on Experiment Station Road (just off Main Street) 5:30 pm this Thursday, August 27 to start making signs with slogans.
Chairman Jonathan Veit has outlined a plan to respond in kind to the event planned from 10 to 12 am on the Oconee County Veterans Park monument. The gist of the message is that we are not going to take this crap lying down. We are going to turn out and carry signs and try our best to be non-confrontational.
The following is the message so you do not have to click through to the link: For those who have not heard, area Republicans, using the title "Citizens For
Ethical Government," have organized what they are calling "Oconee Healthcare
Reform Protest." The organization has invited all area Republicans. The event is
scheduled to take place at Oconee Veterans Park (OVP) (3500 Hog Mountain Road)
on Saturday, August 29th at 10:30 am. Invited speakers include Paul Broun, Bill
Cowsert, Bob Smith, and Rob Peecher (publisher of The Oconee Leader).
At last night's regular monthly meeting of the Oconee County Democratic
Committee, we agreed that we would organize a "counter presence" or "counter
protest" to the upcoming healthcare reform protest that is being organized by
area Republicans. Our goal is to peacefully promote the idea of healthcare
reform and dispel the many myths that are being spread.
The Oconee County Democratic Committee invites all area democrats to join us. We
will meet to make signs and for final planning on Thursday, August 27th at 5:30
pm at the Watkinsville Library (beside the Post Office and Health Department on
Experiment Station Road.) Bring your own sign, bring your own Magic Marker,
bring your own slogan for your sign. We would like the sign slogans to be
pointed but respectful.
If you cannot make Thursday's meeting at the library, please make your own sign
at home and join us at OVP on August 29th at 10 am (we are getting there early
so we can get in position).
If you are worried that the debate over healthcare reform is being controlled by
the other side, then please join us in this peaceful protest. "Citizens For
Ethical Government" chose Oconee County for this event because they think it
will be comfortable for them to protest in this overwhelmingly Republican
County. It has been reported that they had 400 people at their most recent "Tea
Party" rally at OVP. Let's show up in big numbers and show them that we are not
afraid to stand up for what is right.
