NC is fighting back for Voting Rights!!

The republican governor and legislator here in NC have passed some of the most restrictive voting laws in the country, trying to limit young and minority voters. Strict picture ID, cut backs to early voting, no more same-day registration, etc., etc. Tomorrow is the first day of the trial brought by the NAACP to fight this obvious power grab. Tomorrow afternoon is the march and rally. if you're anywhere near Winston Salem, or don't mind traveling, PLEASE COME and join in the fight!

NC is a purple leaning blue state. GOP has rigged the districts so that it will take Dems winning by over 60% of the vote just to break in even in the halls of power in Raleigh and representation in DC.

Our battleground will be FIERCE here. Keep us in your thoughts, especially with our GOTV efforts.
