Moral Monday organizer and frequent keynote speaker Rev. William Barber has a familiar refrain in his sermons from the stage: the Republicans in the NC legislature are trying to move the state backwards. It’s actually the rallying slogan: “Forward together, not one step back.” Yet, the economic system he’s championing in a handbook for fellow […]
After finally discovering the identities of the five persons who voted twice in the November 2012 election, the Voter Integrity Project of NC is ready to announce more stunning news: We can now reveal why there is no vote fraud in North Carolina.

Sunday’s local government newsletter (the CO) brings us two more diatribes opposing the actions of the Republicans in the state legislature. 65 cosigners to this letter in Sunday’s Charlotte Observer oppose every change made including one enhancing the choice of vouchers for some students.

Leftist groups in North Carolina and beyond continue to hold a losing hand in the voter ID game; but with the help of the highly partisan media, they’re trying to bluff their way out of it. Case in point is the voter ID bill and the superb corrections the NC Senate made to the final […]
After months of speculation, South Carolina’s version of John McCain now has an official primary challenger. At a rally on Saturday in Charleston, Nancy Mace, daughter of Brigadier General James E. Mace and the first woman to graduate from the Citadel, outlined her vision for her race against Lindsey Graham. Thanks to Chuck Suter of Constitutionalwar.org […]
