Show starts around 9:00pm.  Check them out. 

Thank you Suzie Millions for allowing us to “cut-n-paste” your email!  THIS is the kind of info we’ve been looking for:

North Carolina is very critical. If you’re interested in learning more about Barack Obama, or helping the campaign, and he really does need help, here’s some quick facts. His website has a wealth of information in depth, but I’ve put some basics together here.

Campaign Office 107 Merrimon, door B on the side
directly across from the Pick-Up window at Bojangles (across from Greenlife Grocery).
It will be manned from 9 to 9. They could use help there in the office.

#1 Priority in Asheville now — VOTER REGISTRATION
Meet at the campaign office daily at 9:30 am. No experience necessary.
Registration in North Carolina ends 4/11.

Stop by the office when you have a chance. Ask what you can do! People were donating furnishing all day Tuesday, but it looked like they could use some shelves and filing cabinets/supplies. They have a small fridge and coffee maker, but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t turn away coffee, beverages, or non-perishable snacks.

Gear up. Put a bumper sticker on your vehicle, a sign in your yard, and a button on your person.

Talk up. I usually tell people I’ve gotten involved in Barack Obama’s campaign, that he could use help, and if they want me to shut up now, I will, but if they’re of a like mind, there’s some things they could do to help. Offer to answer questions if they have doubts or misgivings. So far, I’ve been able to answer all queries, but I’m prepared if someone stumps me to offer to find out and get back to them.

Reach out to remaining primary states. Call people you know in the remaining primary states and encourage them to get involved in their local Obama organization, to gear up, and to talk up.
4/22 Pennsylvania, 5/3 Guam, 5/6 Indiana, NORTH CAROLINA, 5/13 West Virginia,
5/20 Kentucky/Oregon, 6/1Puerto Rico, 6/3 Montana, South Dakota

Some fact-check sites:
Haven’t dug down to see if these sites truly are nonpartisan, but there’s a lot of nuts and bolts info on all the candidates here:

The Reverend Wright Controversy:
There are probably some very thoughtful articles–haven’t had time to read yet; here’s a link to larger segments of the sermons. I really encourage anyone to listen. I found them very, very moving:
