WAKE UP and SPEAK OUT, DEMOCRATS on The Affordable Care Act (ACA)!

The Supreme Court in a 5:4 vote up held the Affordable Care Act (ACA).  As we all know Americans are all over the place as they try to understand how the ACA will affect them for better or for worse.  

Do you know the details of the ACA?  Do you know the timeline for the implementation of the ACA?  Are you willing to find out for yourself rather than have BILLIONAIRES, MILLIONAIRES, Romney's SUPER PACKS, and the GOP feed you with LIES about the ACA?  Their sole purpose is to object to everything President Obama does so that he won't be successful and as they have been planning from the day he was sworn in to make him a one-term president.  What better way for them to pursue their agenda but to reject President Obama's historic signature legislation - the ACA.  Besides, while GOP lawmakers have already set July 11th for a vote to repeal the ACA, did you know that they are already enjoying benefits from the said ACA?  Yep, they are benefiting by having their 18-26 year old children remain on their health insurance.  Believe me I know how they feel being able to have their young adult remain on their insurance because my 21 year old son is benefiting from this as well.  In fact, he has been since 2009 when his dad's insurance company decided to start to implement that this part of the law then rather than waiting for the official passage of the Act in 2010 March.  This allowed my son to have continuous coverage after he turned 19 and it has been a blessing because we would have had to find private insurance for him.  

Does anyone else have a story to tell?  If so you need to speak up!!  It's the only way the truth will be heard and believed.  Share your story, whether you are a parent like me, senior who got a $250 check last June, someone with preexisting condition who can no longer be denied insurance coverage because of their condition.  All Democrats ought to be telling their story.  If you don't you will allow the HYPOCRITICAL GOP and Tea Party folks who want to repeal the ACA to make you dislike it while they continue to enjoy its benefits.  WAKE UP and SPEAK OUT, DEMOCRATS!!

President Obama's Record On Jobs

The U.S. economy is picking up as companies are hiring more people and people are spending more money that they have in many months.  In addition, recent polls indicate that people are beginning to feel that the economy is getting better.  However, Democrats, President Obama, elected official, and those running for office in 2012 are all mindful of the fact that until everyone who wants to work finds a job, there's still much work to be done.  Read more 

No Re-Election Bid For Governor Perdue

Governor Bev Perdue stunned NC Democrats on Thursday, January 26th when she announced that she will not seek re-election.  The governor stated that we live in highly partisan time and that this divisive environment will make it more difficult to find any bipartisan solutions.

Governor Perdue plans to use her remaining time in office to continue to fight for schools and school children stating that they cannot continue to be the victims of shortsighted legislative actions and severe budget cuts inflicted by a legislative majority with the wrong priorities.
