SEIU starts third party in North Carolina

Apparently statewide Democrats aren't sufficiently pro-union in North Carolina. So the nation's most politically influential union has decided to start a third party to run their own candidates in the state. It's also being done to punish moderate Democrats that voted against health care:

In a shot across the bow of Dems, the labor powerhouse SEIU is starting a new third party in North Carolina that hopes to field its own slate of candidates, part of an effort to make the Democratic Party more reliable on issues important to labor, I’m told.

SEIU officials setting up the new party, called North Carolina First, are currently on the ground collecting signatures to qualify as a state party, SEIU officials tell me, adding that there are around 100 canvassers on the ground right now. The goal: To have the party up and running so candidates can run in this fall’s elections.

It won’t be lost on political observers that three House Dems who voted No on reform are from the state: Heath Shuler, Mike McIntyre, and Larry Kissell.

(Heath Shuler also opposes amnesty for illegal aliens and is sponsor of the SAVE Act.)

Larry Kissell also has an A rating from NumbersUSA on his stance against illegal immigration.
Will email his office this story. Thanks.

How convenient.....the SEIU installing it's hierarchy as part of the oba-losi-eid regime

And Bev Perdue will roll out the red carpet for them! Anything to keep the corruption in NC rolling...

They've got other political parties, scattered around the country, such as Working People's Party. They probably chose a different name to stay under the radar.
