6/20/2010 - Father's Day
Day 62 of the disaster in the Gulf
UPDATE-Finally plugged! (We all hope.)
62 days of oil gushing from BP's well with no end in sight and some people are still yelling "Drill,Baby,Drill"!!??
This enviromental and personal tragedy should be the last wakeup call for everyone in the USA that we need to break our addiction to oil. We need a personal, governmental and economic change in our energy priorities. And we need it now.
We have to make different choices in our personal decisions but we must pressure government to start a push to alternative energy and conservation similar to the race to the moon.

1/2010 - Welcome to the New Year! 2010
A new start. Time to rekindle hope after a year of misery for many and gloom for most. 2009 started out on a high with a new president, and hopes for a new reign of reason. Most of the country had rejected the politics of fear and exclusion but soon we saw more of the same from the right wing...a solid party of NO!, wackiness from Wasilla and teabagger tirades, birther lunatics, death threats against pro-health reform politicians, Democrats squabbling into inaction and a President forgetting campaign promises.
So the work of pushing a progressive agenda for equality and peace continues despite the bellowing of the right wing-nuts. Keep the faith and keep warm.
12/09 - Grass Roots unveils new web site
In a moment of insanity, I decided I wanted to learn how to write HTML code and immerse myself in the minutia of web design. As if my brain weren't full of enough trivia. Well, you are looking at the product of three months of sometimes bewildering night school at NCSU's Computer Training Unit. Any mistakes or ugliness that you see is wholly my responsibility. I promise that this site and any future ones will only get better. The goal is to provide you with something of value that is easy to negotiate and provide information, not necessarily wow you with amazing effects. (if I could even figure out how to do them!)
12/09 - Collaboration results in new 2010 calendar
Our friend, Russell Herman, organizational coach & activist, mentioned an idea to help state wide community activists better coordinate activities thruout the coming year. The result is our new 2010 North Carolina Organizers Calendar. It is a wall calendar designed so that two consecutive quarters can be hung together for advance planning. The calendar contains important election dates, major events and majory holidays.
If you'd like one of these free calendars, just ask!
