Don't protest DNC city Charlotte. Mecklenburg County voted AGAINST the marriage amendment. [View all]

Charlotte is in Mecklenburg County. Meck County has been a solid blue in this state since 2004. It hasn't been easy, but, we did it.

Those demanding NC be punished by pulling the convention are calling for an attack on one of the most important areas trying to lead the south out of its backwards thinking - and, we've had to do so right in Bill Graham's backyard.

Support Charlotte - we will eventually win this fight in NC.
