RALEIGH The historians, doctors, preachers, lawyers, raging grannies, students and others gathered around the second-floor fountain inside the Legislative Building and belted out This Little Light of Mine and other songs.
They were diverse in age and backgrounds but united in voice as part of a protest movement gaining numbers in recent weeks.
In the four months since North Carolina Republicans took control of both General Assembly chambers and the governors mansion, the lawmakers have proposed rapid and sweeping change to the states electoral processes, health care policies, welfare management and publicly-funded education systems.
The Republicans, some who emerged from a protest movement of their own the tea party dissatisfied with the cost and influence of government contend theyre doing the business of the people who voted them into office. They say their critics are simply bitter that their party no longer is in power.

despite the invasion of all the Yankee liberals and homosexuals it still keeps it southern conservative side going.
These twisted dirt bags should go back to where they come from, instead of trying to change another state

Many know in the south NC has been invades, places like Ashville or Waynesboro where the turd pokers went ,
In al that NC said we have had enough of you lot coming here trying to change our state, we are southern conservative and well done to them.

Typical Bolsheviks. Representative government is only acceptable for them so long as their agenda is enacted.

Gee...I sure do hope these protesters don’t get audited by the IRS.
Is the doctor an abortionist? Why else would a physician support the people who are determined to destroy the world’s best health care system?

Welcome to the club, NC! it's been happening in Wisconsin since 2010 when Republicans swept both houses and the Governorship.
Hold fast, hold firm and all will be well. We went from a $3 bil deficit to a $500 mil surplus in a few short years with no tax increases. The left has been going ape-$h!t all this time, along with predictions of gloom and doom, none of which have come to light.

Too bad they didn't have a picture of Barber (mentioned in the article) who spends most of his time getting arrested. And eating apparently.
