Calling all Democrats! Calling all Democrats! Do you want to be a part of the Democratic Party's historic journey to victory in '06? Then listen up.

Recently the Democratic Party of Georgia (the "DPG") announced that it would be holding training sessions in various Georgia cities on topics including field organization, fundraising, membership building, election code compliance and county party officer administration. Seventeen such sessions are to be held all over the state.

Who doesn't need some help in at least one of if not all of these areas.

The second such training session, appropriately entitled "'Back to Grassroot' Training," was held this past Saturday in Waycross from 10:00 until 3:00. The session was well attended, the presenters did an excellent job, and the high level of enthusiam by all in attendance was most encouraging.

The initial session was held a few weeks ago in Macon (April 2), and according to various reports, was as well attended and productive as the day of learning we had in Waycross.

The interactive training sesssion in Waycross was chairly jointly by Anne Baratoletti of the North Fulton Democrats, Danita Knowles, Chair of the 1st Congressional District and of the Coffee County Committee, and Pat Pullar, Deputy Director of the DPG. Each is to be commended for her presentation and sharing of a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Our party leaders need a pat on the back for presenting this training seminar in 2005, well in time for those attending to take it back to their county committees so as to be ready for the 2006 primary season.

I have been preaching that our party has to have everything down pat by the fall of this year, ready to do battle in 2006, and this productive day in Waycross furthered that goal.

I strongly encourage you to check your calendars and see if you can make one of the following training sessions. You will be a better prepared Democrat if you are able to do so.

Back to Waycross. The Ware County Committee allowed us to use its regular meeting place at the Machinist Hall on Lee Avenue, and party faithfuls Jerry Richardson and Merlene Petty put out the red carpet for all of us. To them and Jerry's lovely wife Marlene who provided us with a great meal, a kind and hearty South Georgia word of thanks.
