20. blm...it was the ALEC AGENDA...they started the moment Obama was elected

even though they'd been in the background...once 2008 came they and the Chamber of Commerce STARTED the move to RE-Gerrymander our Districts in NC.

Obama and Dems knew heads up it was COMING. And, they blame 2010 Election on
"Disaffected Dems" who didn't show up to vote. Damn It....All the Progressive Dems I knew got out their and Voted...but it had already started! And, it wasn't until ELECTION 2012 that NC TURNED BACK RED!

Dem Party Ops didn't give us the help we needed...they depended on OBAMA Charisma to carry the STATE. Meantime the RW GREW AND GREW...(plus Dem Govenor's Scandals, plus Dem Party Head Scandal... didn't help,either.)

I hope they win and the next state to go to court is Pennsylvania. appleannie1 Jan 2013 #1
