This is a weekly feature of North Carolina Blue. We hope this regular platform will give readers interested in North Carolina politics a place to share their knowledge, insight, inspiration and connections as we work on taking back our state from the extremists. Please join us every week as we try to Connect, Unite and Act with our community of North Carolina Daily Kos members. You can also join the discussion in two other weekly State Open Threads.
Colorado: Wednesday 6:00 PM Mountain
Michigan: Wednesday 6:00 PM Eastern
North Carolina: Sunday 1:00 PM Eastern
For those in other states, please join us as we strive to establish state open threads in all fifty. Just drop me a line if you are interested in hosting an open thread for your state. Keep in mind you can share the duties with with other members in your state and set up a system and schedule for rotating the weekly contribution. The three weekly diaries have different styles, content ideas and approaches and the weekly concept is relatively new. Don't be afraid to start your own weekly with your own idea of how it should look and feel. And we'll give you all the support you need.
Please help us build this weekly NC thread so that it includes anything from North Carolina that you would like me to highlight. Just kosmail me or say hi through email here: randalltdkos at gmail.com. And please follow me on Twitter @randallt.

For those in Western North Carolina who are interested in attending but are uncertain about how to get there, we are offering an opportunity for networking on Saturday, January 30th in downtown Asheville. Yesterday's DKos Asheville diary describes it like this.
In preparing for the Mass Moral March in Raleigh on Saturday, Feb 13th, we hope the meet up can serve as an opportunity for more people to join with us as we network to make Asheville’s presence a strong one. Think of it as a pre-staging event, driven by local radio and blogging, that offers the opportunity to sign up and connect for the trip to Raleigh.
To learn more about the January 30th meetup, please see the DKos Asheville diary from yesterday.
Thanks for reading, have a great Sunday.
Go Panthers!
