NC Dem Party Chair's clever "reframing" of Newt Gingrich's speech in Cary, NC yesterday

It's not that this fundraising letter has unusual depth, but it shows someone's thinking a little more strategically about reframing the Republican BS before they get too far with it.

I love the movie Back to the Future.

And just yesterday North Carolina Republicans and their friends at the John Locke Foundation (JLF) climbed into their DeLoreans and stepped on the gas until they hit 88 miles per hour and went all the way back to 1994.

You see, the JLF (that Raleigh-based think tank that spends thousands of dollars trying to discredit the hard work of public school teachers and policies that would guarantee affordable health care for every American) thought it would be a good idea to have Newt Gingrich be the keynote speaker at their Enchantment Under the Sea Dance...I mean anniversary dinner.

Having Newt headline the event does make sense though if you think about it. Newt became Speaker of the House in 1994 and that was the last time the Republican Party actually had an original idea.

But the fact that GOP Chair Tom Fetzer (doesn't he remind you of George McFly?), and his allies are bringing in GOP heavyweights like Gingrich to raise money shows just how committed they are to turning back the clock on the change you've made happen.

That's why today I'm asking you to contribute just $25, the cost of a movie ticket and a tub of popcorn, to help the Democratic Party fight back. You can contribute online by clicking HERE.

In the movie concerned citizens join together to save the town's historic clock tower. It's up to you to save our state and nation from the right-wing extremism of people like Newt Gingrich.

If we don't defeat the Republicans at the polls this year all of North Carolina will be going back in time.

Please make a contribution of $25 to the North Carolina Democratic Party today!

Our future depends on it.
