FreedomWorks helps Koch Brothers manage North Carolina -Blue NC

[octoberlib]

Another astroturf tour headed this way:

FreedomWorks, a conservative group, will hold a series of town hall meetings, protests and discussions to urge Congress to defund the Affordable Care Act. The group plans to hold a lunch in Hendersonville Monday with Rep. Mark Meadows, a protest at the office of Sen. Richard Burr's office in Winston-Salem. FreedomWorks originated from a conservative political group called Citizens for a Sound Economy, which was set up by businessman David Koch. The group has been involved in the Tea Party movement.

1. Sigh.

And I just read in the N&O that Senate Republicans have outraised Democrats 12-1 during the first half of this year.

2. That makes me sick.

Of course the Repubs have Art Pope and the Koch's. They also tend to get more money from corporations for obvious reasons. The NRA too.

3. True.

But where the hell is the Democratic Party in this state? I am so fed up.

4. They're obviously not doing their job. They should be able to raise tons of money. nt
