 About Us & Our VisionThe Democratic Party of Whitfield County, Georgia, welcomes any registered voter who chooses to identify with the ideals, principles, and discipline of the Democratic tradition to join us as we strive to promote good and effective government at all levels. We believe that all citizens deserve equal access to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and access to quality education, housing, and fair wages. We believe that all persons should have the opportunity to cast votes that are counted. We value the contributions working men and women make to society while we realize the importance of industry and entrepreneurs as well.
Our Party is chartered with the Democratic Party of Georgia. We presently have 36 elected members on the Executive Committee . Among these are five (5) members who comprise the elected Executive Board and serve as officers: Chairman Rodney Hackney, 1st Vice Chair Tobias Dirks, 2nd Vice Chair Elaine Manis, Secretary Virginia Hall, and Treasurer Margaret Cline. Several of the other elected members serve as Chairs of various subcommittees which help conduct the business of the Committee. Associate Members also serve on subcommittees.
We meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month excepting certain months (holidays, etc.) which are announced in advance. Our current meeting-place is the Judicial Annex of the Courthouse on King Street in Dalton. Come visit us. We cannot promise that you will enjoy our company, but we hope you will. Something to think about...The Republicans claim they are the party of "values". They are rather vague about what values are. They mention "family values" and other mythical phrases implying that Democrats are anti-family and Godless. Here is a list of Democratic Values authored by George Lakoff. This list is much more concrete and easy to understand than anything they have presented.
Our values are to practice and respect....
Empathy
Responsibility
Strength
Protection
Fairness
Fulfillment
Freedom
Opportunity
Service
Cooperation
Trust
Honesty
Open Communication
