Are you guys watching the crazy in NC? Power grab,

[SaveAmerica]

crazy appointees, sweeping out complete boards and commissions to replace them with Republican puppets.

Back story: Democrats have held the NC Legislature for years (over 100) and we've had a Dem Governor for the past 28. It's been difficult enough as it were with conservatives fighting Democratic power. Now with State Leg with R Majority and Republican Governor in power for only 2 weeks they didn't waste a minute til they started tearing stuff apart.

This is what happens when passionate people stay home and don't get out and volunteer, or the ones who do volunteer get wrapped up in petty drama instead of working together. Save this state.


The Governor's choice to head our Pre-K program doesn't believe in Pre-K programs!! Really!!

The Senate Rules Committee passed a bill on party lines Tuesday that fires every member of eight key boards and commissions. Once that dirty work is done, the bill states, the Republicans will replace them with their hand-picked substitutes.

That’s politics, you might say, but Sen. Bill Rabon’s bill goes far beyond routine politics. It’s one of the more blatant power grabs in state history, and would clear the way for unchecked ideological policymaking from commissions designed to be independent and non-ideological. It gets rid of public servants before their terms end and without regard to their expertise, experience or quality of service.
