The DCCC is coming to play in North Carolina, with a radio spot targeting McHenry and Hayes for their continued support of giving more and more tax breaks to oil companies while working Americans can barely afford gas.

We have a myriad opportunities for change this year. We can put Larry Kissell over the top, and I'm sure we can find a Democratic upset out there, somewhere. Our goal should be to make the North Carolina Republican Congressional Delegation the easiest to remember in the South - because there will only be 4 Congressmen and 1 Senator after this year.

So why not help out and see if we can get over 100 by the fundraising deadline? If you gave your 10 for Jim, maybe you can give 20 to Hagan. Or do what RobertP does, and cut out that pizza dinner this week. But whatever you do, lets give the media a story they can't ignore - well-funded Democrats prepared for victory in November.

Even the NCGOP are embarrassed of Patrick McHenry nowadays- with some new group emerging of "Republicans against Patrick McHenry" and a new CharO article with NCGOP leaders speaking out against Patrick McHenry with terms like "get a clue", Patrick may be having the worst election season of his life.

Earlier in the week I put up something about Daniel Johnson and Democrats Work. Well we are down to the wire, and you can make a difference!

While looking around for Patrick McHenry's sources of income, money that we don't know about, I came across some money that even Patrick McHenry doesn't know about. Among McHenry's top contributors are industries like Commercial Banks, Real Estate, Insurance, Securities & Investment. It seems he gets so much money he can't keep track of it all. This is surprising for a Congressman who is charged with keeping track of Federal money by serving on the House Financial Services Committee, the House Budget Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

The first round votes have been counted and we are down to the final five!

Thousands and thousands of people cast first round votes in "Serve with the General" - the contest that will send General Wes Clark to one lucky Congressional District to participate in a community service project. The race to get into the final round was extremely close!

Now it is time to pick from the final five districts: Washington's 8th (Darcy Burner), California's 4th (Charlie Brown), North Carolina's 10th (Daniel Johnson), Colorado's 4th (Betsy Markey), or Minnesota's 3rd (Ashwin Madia).

(Every district starts back at zero votes for the final round, so make sure you cast a final round vote.)

You get to decide where Democrats will roll up their sleeves at a community service event with General Clark this summer.

So cast your vote today! The final round of voting ends this Friday, June 6th, at 12:00 midnight eastern time.

Thank you for your participation and for putting your Democratic values into action. Spread the word!

The voting is down to the Final 5 and Daniel Johnson made the cut. Lets put him over the top and get General Wesley Clark in North Carolina for some real work.

Wes Clark will be joining a Democrats Work community service project this summer, and Democrats Work and WesPAC are running a contest to decide who will Serve with the General.

Thousands of people have already voted, but voting is so close that as of this morning North Carolina's 17th district has only 17 votes separating it from moving on to the next round!

North Carolina's 8th district is also in the top 10, and either district could be just one push away from winning it all!

On Friday, the top 5 vote getting districts will move on to the final round.

If you would like to meet Gen. Clark, or to help bring him to North Carolina to serve on a community project, cast your vote here.

Today, the WesPAC and Democrats Work communities launched a contest to determine which Congressional District General Wes Clark is going to visit this summer.


This won’t be an ordinary visit. General Clark will travel to one Congressional District where a Democratic challenger is fighting to change the direction of our country to work side-by-side with area Democrats to make a positive impact through community service. We want you to tell us where we should put our values into action.

Looks like McHenry's playing the only card he knows how: raising hell about "Democrats in Washington". Tonight's flavor? McHenry, using Linda Daves (who has met me and knows I think she's as shallow as a puddle of water in the street) as a squawkbox for his patent brand of bull, screaming about how Congressional candidate Daniel Johnson is lying about claiming his bags are not packed with Washington money.

Wait, are you kidding me? Patrick McHenry is behind this? The man known for lining his pockets with more Washington money (and spending that said money more frivolously) than virtually any other politician in the state? Wow.
