North Carolina Democratic Party created a Twitter account for NC House Minority Leader

The North Carolina Democratic Party created a Twitter account for Republican NC House Minority Leader, Representative Paul Stam and posted malicious and ridiculous statements attributed to him. The Democratic Party's dirty trick was quickly found out by blogger, Laura Leslie of Isaac Hunter's Tavern. Instead of apologizing and promising never to do it again, the NC Democratic Party defended the practice and then created the "Not Actually Skip Stam" site. Not a word of apology from any Democrat.

On Friday the NCAE sent out the attached political alert claiming – well, read it for yourself. Shortly thereafter I notified the author/disseminator, Brian Lewis, that it was false. No retraction, no apology. Today, they will have their rally at 11:00 a.m. I will go over several of the false statements at today's conference.

Last week we forearmed the press concerning the so called "healthy youth act" (HB 88) and the so-called "school violence prevention act" (SB 526). After providing all the documents to the press and to the membership, we still hear the following statements which are demonstratively false:

1. That the abstinence until marriage curriculum does not cover contraceptives.
2. That bullying policy laws cannot be effective without enumerating categories.
3. That sexual orientation means what its sponsors think it means but does not include other sexual orientations (and they won't tell us which are which).\

By the end of June important decisions have to be made and they should be made based on facts, not lies. We will alert the press in order to assist it in keeping the politicians honest.
