It’s been a while since I had the nerve, energy, and interest in blogging. Basically, I lost my mojo. I think it’s coming back. Slowly. Several things have prompted the return of said mojo.
First, I finally made it down to the Gold Dome to lobby my State Senator. I joined my buddies from the Fulton Dems and Planned Parenthood for Women in the Halls last week. It was a remarkable and satisfying experience, and I even shared a hallway the Governor Deal. Women in the Halls is a great program! A bit of coffee, a bit of training, and a bit of activism, all in a couple of hours. If you’ve never made the trip down to talk to your legislators, please don’t wait as long as I did!
Second, over this past weekend I was informed that the Democratic Party of Georgia is still using my quote regarding the Yellow Dog Club, of which I was an early adopter, but of which I have since become a former member. Amazing. Thanks to a number of horrid and untrue accusations and implications last year, I was forced to resign my 5th Congressional District Chair position and end all affiliation with the DPG. For leadership at the party to continue using my sincere and thoughtful quote in their attempt to gain additional Yellow Dog members is, well, it’s pathetic. Members of the Executive Committee and the State Committee should be asking themselves:
Why would the party leadership continue to use the quote from someone they worked so hard to remove?
Aren’t there any current Yellow Dog members who could provide a quote for their flyers?
So, my recommendations to you, dear readers, are to: a) head down to the Gold Dome and talk to your legislators; and b) don’t pledge to the Yellow Dog club until the DPG can come up with some fresh insight into why you should do so.
