GOP Supermajority in NC Says It's OK to Choose Their Own Voters Via Gerrymandering (BCDP Weekly)
North Carolina Republicans are now claiming that it’s impossible to define what “fair” means, so that means there’s no such thing as “fair elections.”
That shakes the foundations of our democracy. We need to break the Republican supermajority and demand a legislature elected by the people, not with legislators choosing their electorate. And we must elect judges who will bring balance and fairness to our courts.

Canvass-Lovers: Let's Hear from You
If you love canvassing, please send an email with a few sentences about why you enjoy it to terri@buncombedems.org -- we may choose it as a testimonial or feature it in a future newsletter (using first name and last initial). Or make an approximately 20-40 second video telling us what you love most about knocking doors and talking to people.
If you haven't tried doorknocking before (or haven't done it recently), sign up for our next canvassing launch on July 6th. You may find it the most rewarding and effective thing you can do to make sure people vote blue this election!
