Let's bring a little sanity and respect back to North Carolina








"This is an actual photo (via WRAL) of Gov. McCrory being told that the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that transgender people do in fact deserve equal rights protection. 


This is the face of a man who just found out that he cost his state billions in Title IX funding."

Looking kinda beat up isn't he? 

Wish I could say I was sorry about that. 

He has ruined lives with his selfish stance on health care in this state. Destroyed education. Has made some great strides in destroying our environment and would like to do more. Made North Carolina look like a state of fools and bigots. 

He is trying to ruin even more lives with HB2. 

He's allowed himself, I believe, to be manipulated by the money men who hold his strings while lining his own pockets. In my most humble opinion, he's arrogant. He's a liar. He's weak. He disgusts me.

There is one thing I can say for Pat McCrory. He and his ilk have moved me to finally stop just talking, whining and ranting about politics and actually DO something. So off I go most days now to help the amazing politically active Jerry and Pamela Williamson. They are a force, I mean a FORCE, behind Democrats in this county and in this entire state. I don't know how many years the Watauga County Annual Community Plant Sale has been going on - about a dozen, I think -  but it's an amazing event which raises money (a lot of money) for Watauga County Democrats. 

Check it out - https://www.facebook.com/wataugaplants

In case you're thinking "plant sale" as some little front yard venture that might bring in a couple hundred dollars - think again.

Here's a few pics I've been taking as we've been working - and the sale itself doesn't happen until June 11.

There are new plants arriving every day - but here's where we are now . . .











Selling plants, one at a time, to help elect local grassroots democrats and work our way up.


We want our state back!


The North Carolina you've been seeing and reading about in the news lately is NOT who we are!



Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 11.

7 A.M. - 2 P.M.

375 Old 421 S

Boone, NC

Sorry  -  No early sales.


All proceeds benefit the Watauga County Democratic Party.


I'll keep you posted, so continue watching!

Help Bring Back the North Carolina We USED To Be!!!




Read about how the people of North Carolina are standing up to new anti-LGBT law in a big way - a very big way.

THIS is why you don't say things like "I will leave this stupid state," or "I'D never live THERE!" No. You fight for what's yours. And if you live in North Carolina, it's YOURS. Fight for it. Fight for what we once were and can be again. Don't just talk about it here at Facebook - FIGHT for it! Nothing worth anything is going to happen without fighting for it. Talk is cheap. FIGHT for your beliefs.

 Here's a list of all NC representatives. I hope you'll consider writing to them - ALL of them - to let them know how you feel about what they're doing to the State of North Carolina. OUR state. We are so much better than they're showing us to be. The backlash is growing.
