Friends,

Well, here we are. Republicans have taken the gavel, and it’s just as bleak as we predicted. On the campaign trail in 2010, we heard over and over that job creation and the state’s economy were priority number one for Republicans. Instead, they have spent no time creating jobs, and all their time on efforts to take away economic development monies, to increase heath insurance costs for North Carolina families by exempting us from national HCR, threatening our watersheds by emptying out the Clean Water Management Trust Fund, and advancing veiled and baseless reasoning to infringe the voting rights of college students, minorities, seniors, the homeless and many others.

The Young Democrats of North Carolina have had enough, and so have you.
