This ad got to me, so I figured I would share it.

The Community Relations Staff of the North Carolina Human Relations Commissional has noticed that in North Carolina since October 31, 2008, there have been 6 incidents reported to this office, four (4) incidents reported as hate crimes and two (2) incidents reported as hate bias incidents. Out of the six incidents reported, five (5) of the six incidents dealt with vandalism of Obama signs or derogatory public statements about him becoming the President-Elect.

Bumped and stickied to bring more attention to this. Important. Please read.

As you know, GOP Senator Saxby Chambliss failed to defeat state lawmaker Jim Martin in Georgia's Senate race.

Early voting in the runoff election begins this coming Monday, and election day itself is December 2nd.

The increasingly desperate GOP are redoubling their efforts to defame a popular Georgia Democrat. Taking a page out of Elizabeth Dole's godless playbook, Chambliss is accusing Martin of being in favor of child prostitution:

Dear BlueNC, the internet is passé. I'm venturing forth into the brave new world of SMS. I'm excited to announce that the North Carolina Democratic Party now has a system to send out text messages, and receive message back from you.

Ok, I know it's not that new, but it's new to me, and I'm hoping to really rock it. The best thing (in my mind) about SMS (text messaging) is that it crosses the digital divide. Plenty of folks with limited access to email have a cell phone on them nearly 24/7. So do me a favor. Two favors really:

1) Text DEM to 69866

2) Comment below to let me know how we can make the most of this. I don't know of a model for SMS campaigning, so if you have even the bare beginning of an idea please share it.

There was no open thread so I made my own. Because I don't have to live like a refugee (I saw Tom Petty last Saturday).

I want to meet NC bloggers I haven't met yet.

I bet there are a lot of good blogs in North Carolina that ought to be more widely read.

I wonder how bloggers can reach out to a larger audience without having to spend all their time link-strumpeting.

I made this page so that bloggers could potentially find me. I don't know how exactly how they will find me, but at least the form is now there to be found:
