NC Voter Integrity Project--NC Action Alert

VOTER INTEGRITY PROJECT - NC ACTION ALERT – 2 PART - PLEASE SHARE!


1. We have a unique opportunity and ONE shot at getting the following proposals passed in the NC Legislature. We have a Republican House and Senate and Governor for the first time in over 128 or so years so now is the perfect time to be working on such.

Please, lobby your NC House and Senate reps with the attached information beginning Friday, February 1, and have everyone call on February 4 and 5.

Send the attached, call them, invite them to your tea party meetings and keep the pressure on. Encourage your members to do the same. If you're going to Raleigh for one of the rallies next week, give the legislative agenda to your reps. This is very helpful.

(2)February 6, 2013 - 7:00pm EST--'Legislative Agenda After-Action Review'
On this a webinar, you will hear from volunteers who have met with their Legislators on February 5th to discuss election integrity matters. The intent is to learn from those encounters and to refine our message to gain more sponsors for the bills (and initiatives) we hope to get approved during the 2013 NC General Assembly.  https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8997815271067481856
