Dear NC Republican & conservative friends,
There are a lot of interesting events coming up that I thought
you might like to know about. Below is a list of some which
sound good to me. I plan to attend several of them, and I hope
to see some of you there.
Also, if you want information about "the Richard Morgan
problem" (a/k/a, how Republicans won the 2002 election, but
Democrats ended up running the NC Legislature), I've put up
a web site that will interest you: http://www.mooregop.org/
Regards,
-Dave Burton <dave@burtonsys.com>
