North Carolina Republican representative, Jason Thigpen, has announced via his website that he is leaving the Republican party and becoming a Democrat. I simply cannot stand with a Party where its most extreme element promote hate and division amongst people. Nothing about my platform has, nor will it change. The government shutdown was simply the straw that broke the camels back. I guess being an American just isn’t good enough anymore and I refuse to be part of an extremist movement in the GOP that only appears to thrive on fear and hate mongering of anyone and everyone who doesnt walk their line. Thigpen will be running against Republican incumbent Walter Jones for his Congressional seat in the House of Representatives. thigpenforcongress/hate-has-no-home-in-representation-congressional-candidate-for-nc3-parts-company-with-the-gop-to-run-on-the-democratic-ticket-by-christopher-dean/
