Cabarrus Conservative Alliance Visits with Rep. Richard Hudson’s Office

This past Friday, August 14th, Cabarrus Conservative Alliance along with more than a dozen fellow citizens of NC District 8 met at the Concord office of their Representative Richard Hudson. Unfortunately, Mr. Hudson himself could not meet with us due to a prior family commitment. However, his Chief of Staff Chris Carter graciously met with us for more than […]

Cintra/NCDOT Take Aim at Citizens Opposing Tolls

Well, it looks like Mr “Who Knows” has gotten his nose out of joint. That’s the first takeaway from a letter sent last week to WidenI77.org founder Kurt Naas along with State and Local elected officials regarding some financial analysis on the HOT lanes Naas published back on June 24th. Let’s just say this. Cintra’s Mr […]

Beware HB 366: Compact/Balanced Budget

Last week, I wrote to you that my husband and I were headed up North for about a week to visit relatives. We were driving back home when I received a call from an out-of-state contact alerting me that the NC House Judiciary I Committee had just announced a committee hearing for the next day, […]

Race Baiters Converge on Winston-Salem Ahead of Federal Trial

We’ve just learned that Monday will kick off an astroturf spectacle in front of the federal courthouse in Winston-Salem after the first day of court for North Carolina’s trial of the century: The lawsuits against NC over measures to prevent vote fraud. The Left is so afraid of these common-sense reforms that several organizations funded […]

ALEC: The Best Connected Toll Road Lobbyist in North Carolina

If last week’s post on lobbyists surrounding the I77 HOT lanes project with links to Governor Pat McCrory gave you an upset stomach. This one is likely to make your blood boil.

NCGOP Reveals Union Ties to Moral Mondays

As a Liber-TEA activist, I always get a chuckle out of the accusations that our movement is nothing but “astroturf” as opposed to a true grassroots movement. For two years I led the Charlotte Tea Party (CAUTION) but never received any marching orders from “higher up”. If there were checks from the Koch brothers, I really need […]

Voter Integrity – The False Assurance of a Sworn Affidavit

The illusion of honest elections . . . . A young 30-ish white male walks into an early voting location and says he lost his wallet, has no photo ID, and wants to vote. He has to sign a sworn affidavit, stating his identity and his alibi, but it doesn’t matter. He’s using a fake name–a voter who moved away long ago. […]

How Close Does Cintra’s Road Get To Governor Pat McCrory?

Whether one calls it lobbying, public relations, business development, or crisis management, what you are really hiring when you employ somebody for any of the above functions is a “fixer”. That’s someone who gets things done that might not be do-able otherwise. Lobbying is big business. There is lots of money involved. Lots of connections […]

North Carolina Senate Takes Dead Aim Against Widen I-77

As if this tale could not get any more disgusting. Today the North Carolina Senate is considering a bill that will require the court to award attorney’s fees to the state if they prevail in a lawsuit against a citizens’ group “contesting the State’s ability to construct transportation improvements.” In other words, Widen I-77′s lawsuit. […]

Take Action Now… or Forget About Real Voter ID in NC

Late today, in a stunning betrayal of every NC voter who fought hard for “real voter ID,” our state’s House and Senate completely gutted the voter ID law by allowing any voter to sign an unenforceable affidavit, attesting to their name, and by allowing any voter, of any age, to use an expired driver license for voter […]
