Subject: Candidate Forum Reminder

Dear Friends,

I can think of a number of reasons why citizens of the 113th House District should attend the candidate forum from 7-9 p.m. tomorrow night in the auditorium of the Oconee County Library on Experiment Station Road in Watkinsville. Here are a few:

1. This is a chance to see all four candidates and listen to each respond to the questions posed by citizens. If you haven't made up your mind about a candidate to support, this should help.
2. Regardless of who wins, the candidates need to know about the concerns of citizens. This is a chance for you to help them do that.
3. A strong democracy requires an active citizenry. You can help demonstrate the vitality of democracy in Oconee and the surrounding counties by attending.
4. Russ Page and I have asked each of the four candidates to give up an evening during a very short campaign period. We are going to be very embarrassed if the room is empty. You can help us avoid embarrassment.

Please do come to the forum and bring along family and neighbors.

Russ and I will be very appreciative of your attendance. I am certain the candidates will as well.

Thank you.

Lee

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
