12. That would hurt all of us and the many working to stop this, though.

We are already devastated enough with Koch & Alec Money and the Gerrymandering this caused this. Plust weak support from Dem National Party after 2008 Election when NC went for Obama.

Revernd Barber's Moral Mondays,(Citizen Sit Downs and Actions peaceful actions with over 1,000 citizens (Professors, Physicians, Religious Leaders and ordinary citizens) protesting the horrible cuts in our Budget, Schools, Environmental Protection...everything citizens worked so hard for in NC making us one of the most Democratic Southern States...all gone. Citizens Actions and support from ACLU, Common Cause and others are helping us fight back. Eric Holder won't even address our legal case about Voter Discrimination because he says he won't have time for DOJ to collect enough info until after the Mid-Term Elections... and we had some scandal in our Dem Party which didn't help.

We here in NC worked hard to get Obama elected and worked to get the paperless trail voting machines out..which we accomplished and to grassroots infuse our Dem Party with more energy. Good NC People don't need to be blamed for the money that poured in and the Christian Right.

We are hurting and telling people to boycott NC doesn't help.

Holy shit, this was a heartstopper until I realized this wasn't national news... MADem May 2014 #1
