I have communicated with North Carolina Democrats and read about the Moral Monday protests and arrests in North Carolina. The Democrats and other activists in North Carolina are speaking out against the run-away GOP super-majority Legislature but only the pictures carried the sense and magnitude of the Moral Monday protests. So far there have been 388 reported arrests.
To think that North Carolina went for President Obama in 2008 and almost went BLUE again in 2012.
I live in Texas so I know something about runaway GOP Super-Majority Legislatures and Governors, just like those in Wisconsin, but nothing prepared me for the dramatic photos of these brave men, women and children fighting back against the Right Wing GOP.
Sorry if I don't label the photos since I don't live in North Carolina but I believe the images convey what a cliche says: "A picture is worth a thousand words."
There have been some great diaries on Daily Kos chronicling this heroic effort in North Carolina and I don't want to duplicate their efforts but thought these images would hammer their point home.

This diary is dedicated to those brave North Carolina souls battling for their beliefs and let us know how crazy the GOP is in North Carolina.
