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 five other weekly State Open Threads.

Please help us build this weekly NC thread so that it includes anything from North Carolina that you would like us 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 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 other members in your state and set up a system and schedule for rotating the weekly contribution.
Please follow below the fold. This week comes news from the Justice Department that North Carolina is in violation of the Civil Rights Act. The state has until tomorrow, Monday, May 9th to respond. The stakes are very high here and climbing by the hour.
