If you're a North Carolina resident currently living in Washington, D.C. or planning on visiting D.C. soon and you have concerns, you can always stop by Senator Kay Hagan's (D. NC) office for coffee and doughnuts:

U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan is inviting North Carolinians living in or visiting Washington, D.C., to have coffee and doughnuts at her office.
Every Wednesday when the Senate is in session, Hagan says people can visit her office from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Her staff serves Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Stockton & Graham coffee, which is roasted in North Carolina.
The Carolina Coffee events will be held the next three Wednesdays at her office at 521 Dirksen Senate Office Building. Hagan says the events are a good way to discuss voters' questions in an informal setting. - Dig Triad, 1/30/13
Just wanted to pass along that info to all of you in the Tar Heel state.
