We are busy here in NC pushing back...pushing back.. We are lucky to have "Common Cause," "ACLU," Private Foundations and others like the Reverend Barber, NAACP, with coalition of multi-denomination Churches speaking out and joining the Reverend Barber in the "Moral Monday" Protests. Our University Students and many Faculty are involved and we are giving it everything we've got to turn out the Koch/Alec "Republican Appointees" we've suffered with since 2010. We are doing it on our Own. Our Dem Party is in a bit of disarray and Eric Holder has not done what he could have done to help us when he could have stepped in with blocking the Voting Restrictions Bill the Repugs rammed through. He said the DOJ couldn't "gather enough information it needed to block the voting restrictions until after the "Mid-Term" elections."

Anyway...glad to see good news on your efforts going forward in NYS.
