Leftist Groups Coordinate To Picket NC GOP Event

Hey, NC GOP… Heads up! Occupy Raleigh, the AFL-CIO and probably more are planning to picket your event on Tuesday. If you’re lucky, Code Pink’s Madea Benjamin might show up!

The AFL-CIO wants you to picket the NC GOP “Cashing-In on the “Decline of North Carolina”. Cute, using the NY Times piece as their title. The major problem with that NY Times piece is it assumes NC was ever Progressive or Blue. It wasn’t… EVER. Continue reading

NC NAACP Sets Up Voter ID Misinformation Line; NC PolicyWatch Promotes

Foward Together and Not One Step Back!

The NC NAACP has set up a voter ID concern ‘hotline’ to handle calls about the racism voter suppression here in North Carolina contained in HB 589. The NC NAACP’s propaganda and BluePrint NC pals, NC PolicyWatch, were all too happy to promote it:

He also announced along with NAACP attorney Jamie Phillips that the NAACP had established a new toll-free hotline that North Carolinians can call with concerns about voting and voting rights. The number is 1-855-664-3487 (i.e. 1-855-NO ID 4 US).

Occupy 2.0: Moral Monday Charlotte

Moral Monday made it’s debut in Charlotte yesterday in Marshall Park. Funnily enough, that is the same park the Occupy Charlotte took over and were kicked out of.

Moral Monday Charlotte brought BluePrintNC back into view and solidified itself as another incarnation of Occupy. Crazy signs, crowd estimates that were all over the map and the dramatic rhetoric now typical of these events was employed.
