2012 NCDP SEC meeting

The hysteria from some posters on BlueNC over David Parker’s reinstatement as NCDP Chair borders on the comical. I do not see why the extreme language on both sides of this issue is at all necessary. Referring to elected officials as “Royals” is just as extreme as “The Party’s over” (meaning the NCDP).

I became the County chair in Gaston a little over a year ago. There was so much excitement in the air that you could feel it. People came out of the woodwork to vote and to be involved and the optimism of the local and state Democratic Party was beginning to emerge after a wake-up call in the 2010 elections.

Fast forward to Saturday, May 12th, and the scene was very different. The SEC Meeting which I attended did not demonstrate the reasons why I ran for and accepted the office of a County Chair.
