What is 1 + 1 = Blue?
Studies show unregistered Durham citizens would largely vote Democratic. Thousands of votes cannot be left “on the table.” 1 + 1 trains politically active volunteers (like you!) who then walk through their precinct equipped with lists and do literature drops at the doors of Democrats on the list. No ringing doorbells. The packets contain an information sheet explaining why the voter is getting the packet, a request to register one new voter, and other materials. To volunteer to help with the 1 + 1 Voter Registration Drive please fill and return this form contact: turnNCblue@gmail.com check our Turn NC Blue! page. 1+1 Voter Registration Drive Instruction Sheet Click Here Commit click for PDF form

DDW has developed a plan, which has been adopted by Democratic Women of NC. This plan provides a road map to retake the General Assembly by 2020. To do this all Democrats will have to be working together towards the common goal: this will take a lot of work. With your help we can do it!

NC Women Vote, is a county by county Get Out The Vote (GOTV) effort to reach infrequent and new women voters who are likely to vote Democratic if they vote.
Studies show that the single biggest reason that women do not vote is that they think that their vote doesn’t matter. Our purpose is to reach out to them through personal letters written by Democratic women who are frequent voters.

State Sen. Martin Nesbitt dies at 67
BY JOHN FRANK March 6, 2014 News & Observer State Sen. Martin Nesbitt, a leading veteran lawmaker whose slow drawl belied his powerful Democratic voice, died Thursday at age 67. Nesbitt’s death came 10 days after he was diagnosed with stomach cancer, his aides confirmed. The Asheville lawmaker stepped down from his post as Senate Democratic leader Tuesday, but the seriousness of his illness was not widely known. In a statement earlier this week, he said it “has become clear that I will need to take some time in the coming weeks and months to focus on my health.” read article WRAL Story See MSNBC coverage of speech pictured below

Judge: Duke Energy must halt coal ash pond contamination
By Laura Leslie and Matthew Burns March 6, 2014 WRAL Duke Energy must take "immediate action" to stop toxins leaking from coal ash ponds at its North Carolina power plants and develop a plan to clean up contaminated groundwater at the sites, a Superior Court judge ruled Thursday. Environmental groups hailed the ruling as a first step toward possibly cleaning up the 31 ash ponds at Duke's 14 current or retired coal-fired power plants across the state. "The ruling leaves no doubt: Duke Energy is past due on its obligation to eliminate the sources of groundwater contamination – its unlined coal ash pits – and the state has both the authority and a duty to require action now,” D.J. Gerken, senior attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center, which represented the four environmental groups in the case, said in a statement. “This ruling enforces a common-sense requirement in existing law. Before you can clean up contaminated groundwater, you first must stop the source of the contamination – in this case, Duke’s unlined coal ash pits.” read story Go To Our Environment Page

The Joint Study Committee on the Affordable Care Act and Implementation Issues (2013) will meet:
Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 1:00 PM in 643 LOB According to House Speaker Thom Tillis and Senate Leader Phil Berger’ press release: “The committee is being formed to explore the real-world impacts that the Affordable Care Act is having on North Carolina’s economy and citizens through disruptions in the insurance marketplace, dropped coverage for families and higher premiums without improved access to providers.” How does that rate for fairness and balance? 
Most appellate court races will wait until fall
March 4, 2014 By Mark Binker WRAL Four state Supreme Court races and three Court of Appeals races will be on the ballot this year, although most of those will wait until the General Election. Court races are putatively nonpartisan, although the political affiliations of judges are often well known, and parties often support a specific slate of candidates. Because those races are nonpartisan, the state holds a primary only if more than two people file for the same seat. All voters are able to make a selection in the primary. This year, the race for the seat currently occupied by incumbent state Supreme Court Associate Justice Robin Hudson will be the only statewide judicial race on primary ballots. Hudson, a Democrat, is a former Court of Appeals judge who was elected to an eight-year term on the state Supreme Court in 2006. Two others have filed to run against her. Eric Levinson, a Republican from the Charlotte area, is a Superior Court judge first appointed by Gov. Bev Perdue. Jeanette Doran, a Republican from Raleigh. read article 
Filing period reveals upshot of redistricting: fewer challengers
BY MEGAN CASSELLA AND JOHN FRANK February 28, 2014 News and Observer Nearly one-third of state lawmakers will face no challengers to their election bids this fall. When the filing period ended at noon on Friday, 12 members of N.C. Senate learned they had effectively been re-elected. Eight Republicans and four Democrats will face no opposition, including Sen. Floyd McKissick of Durham. On the other side, 43 members of the N.C. House of Representatives will run unopposed, a split pool of 22 Republicans and 21 Democrats. Democrats Paul Luebke of Durham, Darren Jackson of Raleigh, and Republican Paul Stam of Apex, are among those who will get a pass. But at the top of the ballot, the crowded race for the U.S. Senate is now overflowing with candidates. Two new candidates – a Democrat and a Republican – joined the race in the last hours before Friday’s noon deadline, pushing the final tally of contenders to 13, including incumbent Democrat Kay Hagan. Eight Republicans, three Democrats and two Libertarians will compete in the May 6 primary. The glaring number of uncontested races is higher than it was in 2012, indicating more politicians are choosing not to run in areas where winning seems impossible, said David McLennan, a political analyst and professor at William Peace University in Raleigh. read article 
More metal pipes found at Duke coal ash sites
By Laura Leslie Mar. 5, 2014 WRAL Corrugated metal pipes similar to the one that ruptured last month and caused a massive coal ash spill at a retired Duke Energy power plant in Eden are in use at eight other Duke plants in North Carolina, the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources said Wednesday. The Feb. 2 spill in the Dan River prompted a review of Duke's 14 current and retired coal-fired plants statewide. The stormwater pipe in Eden was supposed to have been made of concrete, but the spill revealed that only the visible ends of the pipe were concrete and that cheaper corrugated metal had been used for the underground section of the conduit. At that time, Duke and state regulators said they believed the Dan River coal ash site was the only place the failure-prone metal pipes had been used. read story 
Poll: One in four residents say they don't know about NC coal ash spill
Mar. 3, 2014 By Mark Binker WRAL One out of every four North Carolina voters surveyed said they knew "nothing at all" about a coal ash spill that dumped nearly 40,000 tons of toxic ash into the Dan River, according to the most recent Elon University Poll. However, the fact that roughly three quarter of respondents say they know either "a lot" or "a little" about the spill is "remarkable," said Kenneth Fernandez, the poll's director. The survey of 925 registered voters asked respondents whether they knew "a lot," "a little," or "nothing at all" about the spill, which has drawn statewide scrutiny to the practice of keeping coal waste in ponds perched near rivers used for drinking water and recreation. read article

DENR: Six Duke Energy plants lack stormwater permits
Mar. 3, 2014 WRAL Duke Energy failed to get permits it needed at six power plants to discharge rainwater from those sites into nearby rivers and streams, according to notices of violation the state Department of Environment made public Monday. The state issued two "notices of violation" on Friday to the Dan River Steam station, the retired power plant where a ruptured stormwater pipe allowed nearly 40,000 tons of coal ash to spill into the Dan River near Eden on Feb. 2. Those notices threatened $25,000-per-day fines for discharging water into the river without a permit and undisclosed fines for other water-quality violations... On Monday, the state announced it had issued similar notices to five more plants around the state, including plants in Goldsboro, Roxboro, Wilmington, Stokes County and Rutherford County. The notices indicate that the company never had permission to allow stormwater, which could be carrying pollutants concentrated by the coal-burning process, into nearby rivers. read story/watch videos 
DENR threatens Duke with fines over coal ash spill
By Mark Binker Feb. 28, 2014 WRAL North Carolina's Department of Environment and Natural Resources put Duke Energy on notice Friday that the company could be fined over the Feb. 2 coal ash spill into the Dan River. Environmental regulators issued two "notices of violation" telling the company that it had violated state and federal clean water rules, although the exact size of any fine is uncertain. "The starting points will depend upon what we learn in our investigation," said DENR spokesman Jamie Kritzer. In the first notice, the state threatens a fine of up to $25,000 per day for discharging water into the Dan River without a permit. Duke Energy first reported the spill on Feb. 2, but Kritzer said the exact number of days that would be used to calculate the fine would depend upon what the agency could prove. DENR used a second notice to enumerate other possible water quality violations and warn the company that it could face further fines over and above the $25,000 per day. read article 
Ash Spill Shows How Watchdog Was Defanged
By TRIP GABRIEL, FEB. 28, 2014 New York Times ...Critics say the accident, the third-largest coal ash spill on record, is inextricably linked to the state’s new environmental politics and reflects an enforcement agency led by a secretary who suggested that oil was a renewable resource and an assistant secretary who, as a state lawmaker, drew a bull’s-eye on a window in his office framing the environmental agency’s headquarters.“They’re terrified,” said John Dorney, a retired supervisor who keeps in touch with many current employees. “Now these people have to take a deep breath and say, ‘I know what the rules require, but what does the political process want me to do?’ ” read article  Sen. Kay Hagan answers questions from reporters after filing to run for re-election on Feb. 24, 2014
Hagan says coal ash issue needs study
Feb. 24, 2014 WRAL U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, a Democrat, said she wants to study how best to handle coal ash, the toxin-laced material that spilled from a decommissioned Duke Energy power plant on the Dan River and now covers 70 miles of stream bed in North Carolina and Virginia. "I think we in North Carolina have really woken up to the disastrous problem that has just recently taken place here," Hagan said Monday shortly after she filed the paperwork to file for re-election. "We've got to be sure that we clean this up and make sure this doesn't happen again." ...The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is due to publish regulations by mid-December that would determine how the federal government should regulate coal ash ponds. Regulators could either require that coal ash be regulated as hazardous, and therefore subject to stricter controls, or nonhazardous. As part of a separate action, a bill that has passed the U.S. House and is pending in the Senate would direct the EPA to treat the material as nonhazardous and by and large allow the states to largely regulate coal ash. Asked about this bill, Hagan said the entire landscape of coal ash needed more study. read article 
Coal ash questions close to home across NC Feb 21, 2104 WRAL That may be hard to reconcile with the pictures of black, toxin-laced goop that poured into the Dan River from a retired Duke Energy power plant on Feb. 2. But power companies are currently allowed to store a slurry of water and the residual material left over from burning coal in unlined ponds that are environmentally less secure than a typical municipal landfill. Many people live or work in buildings partially constructed from the same material that is reportedly leaching arsenic, mercury and other heaving metals into the Dan River. read article |
Arizona Gov. Brewer Vetoes Controversial Bill
by BILL CHAPPELL and MARK MEMMOTT NPR February 26, 2014 7:51 PM Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says she has vetoed controversial legislation that would have allowed business owners in her state to refuse to serve gays and others if those customers somehow offended the proprietors' religious beliefs. Brewer, a Republican, announced her decision at a news conference held Wednesday afternoon, following a flurry of meetings between the governor and state legislators. Brewer's Comments: "I call them like I see them," Brewer said of the proposal, "despite the cheers or the boos from the crowd." She added: "I have not heard one example in Arizona where a business owner's religious liberty has been violated." "The bill is broadly worded and could result in unintended and negative consequences. After weighing all of the arguments, I have vetoed Senate Bill 1062, moments ago." read article  The equality just keeps spreading.
Federal judge strikes down Texas gay marriage ban
by Laura Clawson FEB 26, 2014 Daily Kos The marriage equality judgments just keep coming. Texas is the latest state to have its same-sex marriage ban declared unconstitutional by a federal district judge: U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia cited recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings as having trumped Texas’ moves to ban gay marriage.“Today’s court decision is not made in defiance of the great people of Texas or the Texas Legislature, but in compliance with the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court precedent,” he said in his order. “Without a rational relation to a legitimate governmental purpose, state-imposed inequality can find no refuge in our U.S. Constitution.” It's been less than two weeks since a Virginia district judge struck down that state's marriage ban, joining judges in Utah, Oklahoma, Ohio, and Kentucky who had ruled against at least some parts of those states' gay marriage bans. read article |
In-state tuition for young immigrants: Good for them, good for North Carolina 2/10/2014 by Raul Pinto NC Policy Watch ..., in 2012, the Obama administration established the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects from deportation immigrants who were brought to the U.S. by their parents at a young age... Unfortunately, state officials have inexplicably created a new obstacle for DACA recipients... Any DACA student living in North Carolina who applies for or attends one of our state’s many public universities will not be eligible for in-state tuition, making it harder, if not impossible, for thousands of such young people to afford college. This is true no matter how long they’ve lived (and paid taxes) in the state. ...The effects of paying out-of-state tuition can be devastating to a family... It is also worth noting that DACA recipients are not eligible for financial aid and that private scholarships are extremely difficult to come by... It makes little fiscal sense to develop the young minds of immigrant students, educate them through high school and then close the door after they have been given an opportunity to work legally in the country... More than 16 other states have enacted legislation which makes DACA recipients eligible for in-state tuition, while other state university systems..., have adopted policies helping DACA recipients to be classified as in-state residents for tuition purposes. It’s about time that North Carolina’s leaders see the tremendous value in providing affordable higher education to the thousands of DACA recipients who want nothing more than to give back to the very state that they call home. read article |
