NC NAACP president, 16 other protestors arrested outside NC Senate

9. There's push back...Though..

I think folks are waking up to what's being done. It's slow...though. It's like we woke up after the thrill of having NC turn Blue and vote for Obama and then in '12 seeing years of progress just blow up in our faces.

There's a lot of blame to go around. Fixing this is going to take longer than it did to undo it. But, actions like yesterdays with the arrests and also all those who took time off jobs to show up at the legislature last month to voice their disapproval (there were packed chamber hearing rooms) over the "Voting Disenfranchisement Poll Tax"...in two sessions was a wake up call that these crazies are going too far. Already there's push back on them wanting throw out the elected City Councils, Boards of Education members and replace them with Tea Party Repugs. They are reaching too far. But, they will still get much of what they want. They need to be voted out in 2014 and then what they did can be dismantled. If we can find aggressive Real Dems.
