Weekend Joe - New Bill Is Another Attempt to Suppress Voters
NC House Bill 127, currently in committee, is yet another thinly veiled attempt at voter suppression. This bill places unnecessary restrictions on how North Carolinians can register to vote. Many trusted organizations — like the League of Women Voters and even the Henderson County Democrats — regularly host nonpartisan voter registration drives. In fact, I registered to vote at one of these events in downtown Hendersonville two years ago. These drives make registration access

A record crowd of almost 200 turned out for the April 25 Henderson County Democratic Party convention, which featured a surprise campaign announcement and a rare visit from a national level Democratic Party leader. “It’s really important for me to be here because I’m guessing you don’t have a lot of representation from the national party coming to visit,” Reyna Walters-Morgan said during her keynote address.

Why should we wait for the world to change? If we want the world to change, we need to actively work to make the world change. Look what’s happening in these
