PDNC has released a statement today that calls for the North Carolina Democratic Party to lead the fight against political corruption. We have invited Party Chair David Young (see the letter below in this post) to join us in making sure that the necessary reforms are put into place. We need to make sure that the scandals that have discredited our party in recent years--with the revelations that have surfaced in the Easely hearings being just the latest outrage in a string of far too many-will not continue to damage the Democratic Party or the democratic process.

Much of the conversation addressed PDNC's role as an organization, both within the Democratic Party and beyond the confines of the NCDP. The following themes emerged:
