A Word From Pastor about Papa Johns's Pizza
Guest Blogger: FaceBook Friend - Fulton Parham.
Papa John's Pizza threatens to lay off workers b/c President Obama won his second term, along with Red Lobster, Apple Bees and other franchises.

A Question for NC Democrats
LET IT RESONATE . . . Republicans picked up three congressional seats in the state, with one seat (the 7th District) still in doubt. In that district, incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre holding a razor-thin 411-vote lead over GOP state Sen. David Rouzer. LET IT RESOUND . . . The GOP also picked up seats in the 8th, 11th, and 13th Districts...

Don't Be . . . BAMBOOZLED
We've asked the following question to a few of friends on FB:
Please explain how it is NC and why it is NC is consistently left out of swing states conversations in the media? North Carolina has been identified as a battleground state from the very start.
We have 15 electoral votes - moreso than most with the exception of Florida & Ohio, of course.
Take for example, this piece I've attached.
So what's the REAL DEAL here?

ON THAT DAY : Voter suppression activist misbehaves in public
It’s not every day that a Wake County Elections Board hearing is the setting for a temper tantrum. That’s what happened today when the Voter Integrity Project’s Jay DeLancy snatched his microphone off the board’s table mid-meeting, kicking glass doors open in front of him as he stormed out of the meeting room in the Public Safety Center. He slowed down once he realized news cameras were chasing him. Source: WRAL

Of All People, How Dare You Jim Hunt
In 1982, protest marchers chanted . . . "Hey Jim Hunt, Whatcha goin' do 'bout the PCB."
The NC PCB Archives stated . . . The PCBs lay along 240 miles of highways for four years as the Hunt Administration ignored roadside residents' pleas to pick up the PCB- contaminated soil. Surely, children waiting for their school buses were directly exposed.
Hmmm...SO ARE YOU SAYING... our 'nationally-known coveted education governor' didn't...

No Dog in This Fight, The Flip Side
While animal rights activists were confronting Ellis Williford Monday, the next day the local headline read, 'Two charged with dog fighting'. Go Figure, right.
The newspaper article stated, "One dog’s jaws looked as if they were locked on the other dog’s face. The more aggressive dog looked as if he were tearing the face off of the other dog. Voices of people could be heard laughing out of the eye of the camera. Then...

Where are the donations?
Yep, here we go again. No they don’t remember. No one told me. Animal shelter, what animal shelter? Max, I know that you can hardly believe all this misunderstanding of Animal Shelter funds.
