move the democratic convention out of NC
Now that Obama has affirmed equal rights for all Americans by advocating for gay marriage, the last place we should hold Obama's convention is in NC. Conventions bring in huge amounts of money and we shouldn't reward NC for it's small-minded, counter democratic stand.
Why is this important?
North Carolina voted to ban gay marriage and even civil unions one day before President Obama announced his support for gay marriage. Having the Democratic convention in NC in September is not the way to follow up the President's proclamation. Because the convention brings in so much money for the state it's held in, it doesn't make sense to bankroll a state that opposes what most Democrats stand for. We probably won't win NC anyway, so let's go to Ohio, or Michigan, or Massachusetts, or just about anywhere but NC.
