The Red Clay Democrats outdo themselves . . . again. What a great group. What dedication to the blue cause.
On a Saturday morning in mid-September last year on the 28th floor of the offices of Kilpatrick Stockton, LLP, at 1100 Peachtree Street in Atlanta, the Red Clay Democrats of Cobb County were hard at work getting our party ready for 2006. (see 08-19-04 post.)
The task at hand -- conducting the inaugural training session of the Georgia Democratic Candidate Training Project ("DCTP") -- was designed to show prospective Democratic candidates "What some campaigns do wrong, and how you can do it right."
At the conclusion of that day of much learning and camaraderie, it was promised that the first class of tomorrow's Democratic candidates would convene sometime during the 2005 legislative session to get an inside look at how things operate during the session.
This was done this past Monday, January 24, in the Legislative Office Building.
Those providing invaluable insight and advice to the DCTP's first class included Secretary of State Cathy Cox, House Minority Leader DuBose Porter, and Reps. Mike Jacobs, Alisha Porter and Rob Teilhet (Rob now rivals Cathy Cox in being able to claim media fame with his recent ajc coverage on romance at the Capitol).
Following a full and informative afternoon, the group headed for Underground Atlanta and the Red Clay Democrats' Third Annual Legislative Reception, and what a grand success this event was!!
Lt. Governor Mark Taylor, Secretary of State Cathy Cox, Senate Minority Leader Robert Brown, House Minority Leader DuBose Porter and many, many House and Senate members attended this annual Legislative Reception.
Also in attendance were several party officials; a couple of 2006 candidates making some early rounds; one large contingency of Red Clay Democrats; and many, many other guests, all good Democrats of course.
The only thing better than the food and drink was the fine company.
What a great night; what a great event; what a great organization the Red Clay Democrats is.
A signature on an e-mail I received from the Red Clay Democrats reads as follows:
Red Clay Democrats
Founded to Energize and Organize Active Participation In Georgia's Democratic Future
With respect to the first class of the DCTP and the Monday night Legislative Reception: Mission Accomplished.
Our hats are off to this great group of Democrats doing a great job. Thanks. We love you.
