Dems help reopen a NC Repub office

Dems help reopen a NC Repub office

On October 16, a North Carolina headquarters of the Republican Party was firebombed , and an abhorrent threat was painted on its outside wall

As Democrats, we are starting this campaign to enable the Orange County, North Carolina Republican office to re-open as soon as possible.

Until an investigation is undertaken, we cannot know who did this or why. No matter the result, this is not how Americans resolve their differences. We talk, we argue, sometimes we march, and most of all we vote. We do not resort to violence by individuals or by mobs.

So, let's all pitch in , no matter what your party affiliation, in and get that office open again quickly.

President Trump would have already launched the nukes on North Carolina Democrats.

As the media reports and Hillary has to respond to questions / accusations, maybe it will help a bit.

Adorable future Prez in your sig line, by the way. 😀

They used to be right wingers cheering for killing arabs.

I'm impressed--I love it when anyone comes to the light.

It could only have been done to gain sympathy for the pathetic NC GOP. They're on the verge of losing serious ground and there is only one method they use when cornered this way. They've done it year in year out. They lie and cheat like hell and complain that the Dems are doing them nasty and the docile press fall for it every time.

The fact that the fire self extinguished argues against meaningful arson. Whoever threw it was afraid it would get out of hand before the Fire Dept could keep it from spreading to the adjoining buildings and nearby trees and houses.
