live blog

[Update]
Congressman Miller is with us. He will answer questions in this thread. Technical difficulties caused just a bit of a delay. Thanks Rep. Miller for hanging in there with us.

Long-time friend to BlueNC, Congressman Brad Miller is tentatively scheduled to live blog with us Sunday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. This chat is scheduled to discuss the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009 or H.R. 1106.

Please join us on Sunday to ask your questions of Congressman Miller. This is a very special treat, especially since the Congressman is still working to ease the bill through the House and Senate with the homeowner protections in place.

Please join me in welcoming Congressman Brad Miller. Leave your questions in this thread.Read more

Please join us tonight, June 18 at 7:00 p.m. for a one hour live-blog chat with Mary Fant Donnan. Mary won the primary election, however did not break the 40% threshold to prevent a runoff.

Mary joined us last week for our monthly Democratic Women's meeting here in Union County. We had an opportunity to hear Mary speak about her priorities and her passion for the work she will do as Labor Commissioner. I'm so happy I had a chance to listen to Mary and hear what she had to say outside the normal 3-5 minutes most candidates have at forums featuring a large number of speakers. She was gracious enough to agree to stop by to visit with us prior to the convention and the June 24 runoff election.Read more

Leave your questions on this thread and join us again this evening.
