The Real Deal On The NC Common Core Bill

“I said it might be possible if I could bring other clergy leaders from the Forward Together Movement with me,” Barber said in a statement. Continue reading →

OH NOES! Defacto Leader of the NC Dems Missed A Meal!

Posted on May 16, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

I almost hurt my eyes due to rolling them so hard (email in the second half of the article). Reverend Barber missed a meal apparently and it’s all McCrory’s fault.. or something. Barber claims he wants to engage in discussion? Let’s look at what that really means.
