who is running and be involved in your state issues to bother. Much less enthusiasm for "Pre-Primary." Most of the lazy politco on both side of the aisle only care about the Primary Elections or Presidential Primaries. Sad that ..but, it's the reality.

Maybe we can beat them back.

Did you see Democracy Now's report on NC yesterday about it?

If I get a chance I'll try to post in V&M...but, she featured our state.

I should take a photo of my "I voted" sticker...because there are some who don't believe that those of us who are critical of policies which betray our Democratic Principles (and First Amendement rights in some cases these days) don't show up at the polls. And, yet this was a Primary Election before the Mid-Terms and many because of District Gerrymandering had few choices--we got our butts out and VOTED...just like we always do.

Progressives did well in our primary also.
the general will be life and death critical!
Moral Monday's are starting up again!


That is exactly why I posted this photo. I believe I have a right to be critical.

Will Dark Money Reshape North Carolina Political Landscape From Senate Race to State Supreme Court?

Published on May 7, 2014
http://www.democracynow.org - In one of the first closely watched races of the 2014 primacy season, North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis has won the Republican Senate nomination. Tillis will face Democratic Senator Kay Hagan in November in a race that could decide which party controls the U.S. Senate. The North Carolina primary drew national attention pitting Tillis, backed by much of the Republican establishment, against candidates with close ties to the Tea Party and religious right. As speaker of the North Carolina House, Tillis was a frequent target of the Moral Monday protests over the past two years. Primaries were also held Tuesday to determine who will sit on the state's Supreme Court.

The races have gained national attention because millions of dollars from outside groups have poured in to the state to back conservative candidates. One TV ad bought by a secretive outside group accused state Supreme Court Judge Robin Hudson of being "not tough on child molesters." North Carolina is one of 22 states where judges on higher courts are elected rather than appointed. We are joined from North Carolina by Chris Kromm, executive director of the Institute for Southern Studies.
