RALEIGH, N.C. -

The NAACP is in North Carolina to encourage Congress to include a public option as part of health care reform.

NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous will be joined by the Rev. William J. Barber, president of the NAACP North Carolina State Conference, at a news conference Thursday morning in Raleigh.

The two men say more than 50 civil rights organizations are working together to push Congress to approve a strong public option. Jealous says most black people know someone who has died because of an ineffective health care policy.

    I'm sure they'll be pushing for cap and trade next then card check after that. Does anyone take the NAACP seriously anymore?
