NC: SEANC and SEIU Put Up $1 Million in Third Party Organizing Effort

From the Charlotte Observer:

The conservative-leaning tea party movement is not the only backlash to emerge from the national health care debate. The debate also created a reaction from the left.

The debate spawned a union-backed, $1million effort to create a third political party in North Carolina. The immediate goal is to punish three Democratic congressmen who voted against the new health care law - Heath Shuler of Bryson City, Mike McIntyre of Lumberton and, especially, Kissell.

The organizers say they hope to create a long-term party apparatus that will compete with the Democratic and Republican parties in the state.
