I was excited and priveldged to be part of a the first of a series of "rallies a day" held by the Rory Blake campaign in Carthage in Moore County. Held on the county courthouse steps at high noon, the 15 minute gathering included a diverse group of supporters included loyal "yellow dog democrats", honest to goodness peaceniks, a few county employees on their lunch break, and curious onlookers.

A congressman who heads a homeland security subcommittee said on a radio call-in program that he agreed with the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.

Doesn't that sound horrible? That must have happened a long time ago, right? Wrong.

Moore from NC-06

It was the proverbial dark and stormy night, but spirits were high, the food was the best that the Democratic Women of Moore County can provide (and that's saying something. I'll put J.H's pound cake up against anyone's in the state), and anticipation filled the air. A group of about 25 of us had gathered to meet with Rory Blake, candidate for US Congress, NC-06. Dr. Abraham Oudeh, candidate for NC Senate in District 52 was on hand as well, and as the we settled into our chairs, he told us, "I smell Victory!" With that he introduced Rory Blake.

Rory's message was simple: "I'm not running against a man, I'm running against a system that is broken." Like most of us, Rory is horrified by the breakdown of our government since 2000. "They've gotten us into a horrible war that nobody wants to be in, nobody likes us around the world,and we've got the worst deficit we've had in this country - ever."

Howard Coble has to go.

One of the most important rights that our Constitution guarantees us is habeus corpus, literally "to have the body", or something like that. It guarantees that individuals will not be imprisoned indefinitely without being charged without evidence of a crime being presented in a court, and without charges being filed. The Supreme Court has "recognized the fact that`[t]he writ of habeas corpus is the fundamental instrument for safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary and lawless state action.' Harris v. Nelson, 394 U.S. 286, 290-91 (1969)." (ibid.)

Rory Blake - NC 06

Saturday, Sept. 9, I had the pleasure of being able to talk of cabbages and kings with Rory Blake, Democratic Candidate for US House of Representatives in NC-06. As a retired businessman and pharmacist, he had a unique insight into the issues my mom is facing with Medicare "Dud", and I was impressed with his ideas on how to fix those issues. "Medicare D can be fixed", he said. "You've got the largest insurance group in the world, and they're not allowed to negotiate their prices! If they could negotiate, the way smaller groups can, and they could offer generic medications, it would go a long way to solving the problems our citizens face. It can be fixed.

Howard Coble: Man of Action!

Eric Muller on a recent Howard Coble radio appearance:

Notice first the categorical statement that on the issue of "wiretapping," Coble -- the man in the House responsible for oversight of this very area -- is just "not troubled by any of that."

Period. End of story.

You'd think maybe he'd say something about needing to learn something about the program before making a judgment.

Nope. He's just "not troubled" by reports of government data mining from millions of records of domestic phone calls by American citizens. Nothing to see here. Move along.

“Electing a great Democratic majority this fall should send a clear message to even the dimmest bulb that Americans want us to work together to change the direction in which the country is headed.”

—Rory Blake, Democratic Candidate for North Carolina's 6th Congressional District

In November, Democrats and progressives in my neck of the woods will have a strong alternative to the 6th District's perennial Republican representative Howard Coble, who will be seeking his 12th term in the US House. Rory Blake made some time in his busy schedule to provide thoughtful answers to questions on the issues and politics that will pave the way to November:

Today is the last day of the first fundraising period, Rory Blake (6th district candidate, Democrat) is looking to be able to show the world that he's a serious contender. One way to do that is to show that he's raised a lot of money. Another way, perhaps more important, is to be able to show that he has a lot of donors, regardless of donation size. This is where you come in.

Break out the credit card and make a contribution today, even if it's just few bucks. I'm going to.
