Oconee County Democratic Committee meets Thursday, May 17 at Government Annex

The Oconee County Democratic Committee will be holding its regular monthly meeting 7:00 pm this evening, Thursday, May 17, 2012, at the Oconee County Government Annex at 1291 Greensboro Highway, Watkinsville, GA 30677. We meet in the back auditorium where the Department of Agriculture usually holds gatherings (not in the room where you go to vote, but kind of on that end of the building). Look for the room with framed portraits of President Barack Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

My name is Dan Matthews, and I am chair of the committee. My cell phone is 706-372-1062 if you get lost. We have had a full house the last several meetings with a 33% increase in membership. We have a new twitter account @oconeedems and a great new website. We would love for you to run for office, become a dues paying member of the party and our committee, and generally stay involved with local politics and issues.

We may be hearing from someone who is a delegate in this fall's Democratic National Convention from the county. We are going to be registering voters at the Farmers Market Saturday morning.

We would really like to see you at our meetings. You do not have to be Democratic or live in Oconee County to attend. We welcome volunteers or look for our registration tent Saturday at the Farmers Market.


Location: 1291 Greensboro Hwy, Watkinsville, GA 30677, USA

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
