Shawn Hanley for Fulton County GOP Chair!

by Bill Simon

It’s about danged time there was a good challenger race going on around here.

Currently, the Fulton County GOP’s position is held by Mike Dvorscak, and he is running for re-election this March.

However, there is a newcomer to the Fulton County GOP who has rather remarkable credentials. Shawn Hanley worked in Iraq for awhile, helping them set-up their “democracy” via explaining and teaching things like campaigning, voting processes, etc.

He has a very strong resume, and platform in which to challenge Dvorscak; this should be quite the exciting race. Check him out at:

Dvorscak needs to go. He hasn’t done anything to improve the county party, not sure what if anything he did on GOTV this past cycle, and if you want a great laugh check out the county website. It’s embarrassing and hasn’t been updated forever.

I don’t know Shawn and have never met him, but I like what I see on his website.

Today's Deep Thought

I remember that one fateful day when coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. 'You don't have to tell me,' I said. 'I'm off the team, aren't I?' 'Well,' said coach, 'you never were really on the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. you show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times.' It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
