The HOPE Beacon Has Been Lit!
It has been one year since we made history in North Carolina, accomplishing the daunting task of turning a North Carolina blue for the first time in decades. Echoing our president, "Now it's time to deliver." Time to deliver on health-care reform.
Former NC for Change campaign staffers are flying in from all over the country to participate in this rally and canvass the weekend of Nov 7, so please join us as we celebrate an anniversary and get into action.

Us vs. Blue Cross in tug o'war over Kay Hagan, who's cut volunteer legs out from under us
Submitted by MsSpentyouth on Sat, 10/31/2009 - 9:17pmCrossposted at DailyKos.com
Just as did millions of other North Carolinians, last week I received the four-color, glossy mailing from Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina that featured a preprinted postcard addressed to Sen. Kay Hagan letting her know how much we Blue Cross Blue Shield subscribers hate the idea of a public option.
As did thousands of others, I marked up the wording on the postcard and took advantage of BCBS's generous offer to pay my postage to let my senator know how fully I support a public health-insurance option.
