112th Weekly Edition
This is a weekly feature of North Carolina Blue. We hope this regular platform gives readers interested in North Carolina politics a place to share their knowledge, insight and inspiration as we work on taking back our state from some of the most extreme Republicans in the nation. Please join us every week as we try to Connect, Unite and Act with our North Carolina Daily Kos community. You can also join the discussion in four other weekly State Open Threads.
Colorado: Wednesdays, 6:00 PM Mountain Michigan: Wednesdays, 6:00 PM Eastern North Carolina: Sundays, 1:00 PM Eastern Missouri: Wednesday Evenings Kansas: Monday Evenings
You can help this weekly effort by adding anything from North Carolina that you would like to highlight. Just kosmail me or email at randalltdkos at gmail. And please follow me on Twitter @randallt.
Please jump the fold to see the new itinerary for our August 12th Meetup at Mt. Mitchell along with some North Carolina news you may have missed. Thanks for reading and contributing, have a great week.
