Re: [North Georgia Democrats] The stories are already changing. Wooten stated...

W Lorraine Watkins commented on her post in North Georgia Democrats. W Lorraine Watkins 3:41pm Aug 29 Tom don't forget I have been a member of this party since its resurrection in the early 2000s and was a Committee member for some time. Comment History Tom McMahan 3:40pm Aug 29 Keep after the Chair, but be positive about it. Being a Chair is not a paid position, they have lives outside of what goes on involving the party, and maybe just haven't had time to sit down and gather up enough people to draft a response. Press releases aren't magic bullets, I would focus on keeping the story alive via social media like Facebook or Twitter, which is seen by far more people than a press release ever will be. But if the Exec Committee can meet and draft one, that would be ok too. W Lorraine Watkins 3:38pm Aug 29 It would likely be printed in local media, and social media. It could go to the County Commission. I promise in this county it would be known locally. I am also certain the AJC and Atlanta TV would carry it. Tom McMahan 3:36pm Aug 29 In defense of the county party, if they released anything, who would get to view it? W Lorraine Watkins 3:35pm Aug 29 I have also communicated with Michael Smith and have been pleading with our Dawson Committee chair. I cannot speak for her or the Committee but it appears there will be no response coming from the Dawson County Democratic Party. I attribute that sad situation as to the result of just how much fear we Democrats live in in this county. Support from DPG and other areas might prove encouraging. I have sent a personal letter representing me only to the Dawson News and Advertiser but doubt it will see the light of day. No point in even trying the Morris paper. Tom McMahan 3:34pm Aug 29 Have there been any diaries on DailyKos? BTW, if this story does gain traction, the deputy will get canned and everyone else associated with the rally will wash their hands of it.
