Many months ago, a Democrat in North Carolina started a web site called "Jim Black Must Go." On that site you can read the various chronicles of the Democrat Speaker of the North Carolina House, and how he has corrupted the General Assembly. You can read about the 25 North Carolina newspapers who call for him to resign. You can get many details about what Jim Black has done and why he should go. You can also read the chronicles about how Jim Black literally bought his position as speaker, bribing other officials and how one of them now has plead guilty to accepting bribes.

Today, a Republican joins the charge. A new web site, StopJimBlack.com opens today. Featured on the site is a television ad that will be run statewide because even now, Jim Black completely denies he has done anything wrong at all. You can head to that site and donate to help keep the television ad running across the state -- to ensure that people around the state learn the facts behind the absolute corruption of the Democrat Speaker of the House, Jim Black.

And in a nutshell, in case you don't want to read all the details, here's a couple quick facts:

During his February 9, 2006 sworn testimony before the State Board of Elections, Speaker Black went to great pains to explain that he had done nothing to “induce” Michael Decker to switch parties.

In U.S. Federal Court last week, Decker pleaded guilty to accepting $50,000 in 2003 to switch parties and preserve Democrat Jim Black as speaker of the N.C. House.

Someone's lying.

It's beyond the point of Jim Black needing to resign. While Jim Black's cheerleaders in the Charlotte Observer continue to complain that it's not Black's fault -- they actually blame Decker for TAKING the bribe -- Jim Black needs to be arrested and taken to jail. There is no other way to restore any faith in the political system of North Carolina.
