NC Common Cause
GroupCommon Cause supports taxpayer financed public campaigns and is a member of four of the liberal progressive political networks – Z Smith Reynolds Foundation, Blueprint NC, Democracy NC, and Together NC Partner Coalition. Blueprint NC is the group that gained infamy with their strategy memo that directed their members to “eviscerate, mitigate, litigate, cogitate and agitate” the state’s leadership in 2013.
Most of Common Cause’s national grant money comes from radical left wing progressive foundations such as George Soros’ Open Society, Proteus, Tides, and Z Smith Reynolds. The NC group is one of 35 state chapters.
