Who we are

As the oldest continuous political party in the world, the Democratic Party has carried out its commitment to freedom, fairness, human rights, and responsible government for over 200 years. We pledge to continue this tradition.

We take pride in our Democratic heritage as a party of spiritual and patriotic values; a party of inclusiveness; a party of diversity; a party of compassion; a party of educational and economic opportunities; a party of social justice; and a party of responsible leadership.

The North Carolina Democratic Party fully supports the sanctity of the Bill of Rights and opposes any frivolous or malicious amendments to the Constitution.

We provide an avenue for the free and open expression of diverse ideas and opinions, including the right of every person to dissent, and shall work to promote government which is responsive to the legitimate needs, interests, and aspirations of every man, woman, and child in a manner which does not diminish human dignity or those fundamental rights, which are the birthright of all people of a free and democratic nation.

We, as North Carolina Democrats, seize this agenda, and vigilantly defend our historic Democratic heritage. We shall not abdicate our historic role as the Party of action and the Party of progress in this State. The lives and the livelihoods of the people of this State are our sacred trust. We must act decisively; we must act swiftly; we must act together.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (USDVA) has conditionally approved the state’s application for federal assistance to build a 100-bed State Veterans Home in Black Mountain.  Conditions for the $14.6 million award include finalizing design documents, approval by involved state agencies, and advertising and award of construction bids.

“This facility will go a long way toward providing the long-term, skilled care that our veterans deserve,” said Gov. Bev Perdue.  “The collaboration between the Department of Administration and Department of Health and Human Services to identify an appropriate site already owned by the state is a great example of government working for the people.”

The amount of $14,632,787 has been set aside by the USDVA for the Western North Carolina project, according to a letter of award from USDVA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki. Last month, the USDVA announced that $12,119,575 in federal matching funds have been set aside for a similar facility in Kinston. Both projects are funded by appropriations through the N.C. General Assembly and funds made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

There are two State Veterans Homes presently in North Carolina, one in Fayetteville and the other in Salisbury.  Each of the new facilities will provide residential care for up to 100 veterans and will employ 150-170 staff.
