Sad, but the best way to honor the presidency in this era is to reject this perversion.

In the days before the televangelist craze and Jesse Helms, NC was the most progressive state in the south, Bobby Jones and all.
This gives me hope that when the sour old Republican farts die off, it can be again.

until Repubs took control of the legislature for the first time in a century in 2012. We had an award winning Medicaid program, some of the best voting laws in the nation, and were 4th in the country for solar. And in each election since then, Dems would have regained control of the legislature if it werent for extreme gerrymandering.

a very important way of standing up for it and fighting those who would destroy it.
