Subject: A Promise Kept: House Democrats Launch Military Initiative

Dear Fellow Democrats:

On Veterans Day, the Georgia House Democratic Caucus launched "A Promise Kept," a new initiative in support of veteran and military families in the state of Georgia. Visit the website here: www.apromisekeptga.com.

Georgia is home to 10 active military installations, more than 750,000 veterans, and over 105,000 active duty military personnel and civilians, but our veteran and military families often still lack the resources they need to thrive. Georgia lags behind several of its southern neighbors like South Carolina when it comes to fulfilling the Department of Defense's ten key metrics for creating the best environment for military families possible. The "A Promise Kept" initiative aims at fulfilling our obligation to Georgia's military families and veterans.  

Over the next several months and throughout the upcoming 2016 legislative session and beyond, members of the House Democratic Caucus will travel across our state listening to critical issues faced by Georgia veterans and military families – from consumer protection, healthcare and employment to housing, childhood education, and workforce development – in order to improve the quality of life for our men and women in uniform and their families. 

I encourage you to include information about A Promise Kept in your communications, and if we can provide any additional support, do not hesitate to ask.

Take care,

Stacey

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
