As a long time politico, it’s easy to occasionally get jaded with the tried and true methods of grassroots campaigning.  I’m always impressed with a new way of getting a message out, and Kristie Chapman has definately filled that bill with the personification of a campaign yardsign’s adventures in Mecklenburg…. ******************************************************************************************************* (Written by Kristie Chapman, campaign […]

When Perfect Storms Collide

About eight years ago I was driving north on I-77 heading home to Huntersville when I was literally placed between a rock and a hard place. It was one of those instances of sheer “life flashing before your eyes” terror; much akin to the 2008 elections. To my right was the concrete “wall of death” […]
