140 Arrested in "Moral Mondays" Protest Against Republican Agenda in North Carolina 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In North Carolina, roughly 140 people were arrested Monday during a
weekly protest against the agenda of the Republican-controlled
legislature. The local NAACP has been leading demonstrations on
so-called Moral Mondays to protest cuts to social programs, restrictions
on voting rights and the forgoing of Medicaid expansion under Obama's
healthcare law. Monday's protest was the largest to date.
