Jim Neal Endorses HKonJ's 14 Points - Neal Campaign to March this Saturday

U.S. Senate Candidate Jim Neal is marching on Jones Street this Saturday - and he's bringing his campaign. Staff, volunteers, interns, and the candidate himself aren't just talking the talk - they're walking the walk, demonstrating a commitment to social justice.

Jim's also bringing something else with him - a commitment to the People's Agenda, the 14 Points that are core to making HKonJ a movement instead of a moment:

THE PEOPLE'S AGENDA:
14 POINTS

1. All Children Need High Quality, Well Funded, Diverse Schools. NC must meet its Constitution's requirement of adequate and diverse schools by fully funding Leandro with transparent accountability and creating special leadership teams in its failing schools.

Historic Thousands on Jones Street (HK on J)

9 Feb 2008 - 11:00am

LAST YEAR, the NC NAACP built a mighty coalition of 75
organizations that endorsed an anti-racism, anti-poverty and
antiwar People’s Agenda (see back). Over 5,000 of us
(representing thousands more) marched to the Legislature
on Jones Street, and HK on J (Historic Thousands on
Jones Street) was born.

Thousands tried to get our representatives – in Raleigh and in
their home offices – to change how they did business. We
won some victories. But many legislators kept doing the
people’s business behind closed doors. They thought we
would get tired and go away.

We’re not going anywhere! We’re just getting started! On
Saturday, February 9th, thousands of us will meet at
CHAVIS PARK, 505 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. in Raleigh

Since When is Campbell Brown My Hero?


Trying to get a straight answer out of McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds.

BTW: I'm glad that Talking Points Memo posted this excerpt on Youtube, but since when does TiVo'ing something allow you to brand it with your logo? That's the Wild West...

The Dark Side Chronicles


Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory says he wants to change the culture in Raleigh. I guess that's why he wrote this letter to PAC lobbyists asking for their fundraising help. Change you can believe in? Riiiiiiight. Join the conversation here.
