Mattie Lawson to Run for NC House for District 6

PRESS RELEASE: 

February 9, 2014

A long-time Republican, Mattie Lawson has just announced she will file to run for NC House District 6 to strengthen the conservative base in the NC General Assembly. The district is currently represented by a Democrat in a Republican led General Assembly causing the district to struggle to achieve a voice.

The District consists of Dare County, Washington County, Hyde County and the northern portion of Beaufort County.

A Dare County home-owner for 11 years, Mattie Lawson is a principled activist known for working hard for common sense, non-partisan conservative causes at the local, state and federal levels. One of her passions is opposition to the over-regulation of the seafood production industry that adversely affects the livelihoods of local seafood producers and relegates consumers to sickly, uninspected seafood imported here too often from third world countries. Another issue is the rising cost of living that limits job growth and burdens young families. She was an early proponent of stopping the Briggert-Waters Act of 2012 that greatly raises flood insurance costs on coastal property owners and yet fails to reform the poorly managed Federal Flood Insurance Program. She supports the Oregon Inlet Waterways Commission and the Oregon Inlet Task Force as a concerned citizen and occasionally as Senator Bill Cook’s representative.

Lawson ran for NC House District 6 in 2012. She won the primary against two challengers, including a seasoned Democrat politician who had just recently turned Republican to run in the race, Arthur Williams of Beaufort County. She won the run-off election, also, but lost the General Election to insurance businessman Democrat Paul Tine by a bit over 1% of the votes cast. In the General Election it is notable that she won both hers and Tine’s home county, Dare, the most populous county of the four county District. She won by a large margin in Beaufort County, the second most populous county. This race was characterized by the media as the most carefully watched election in North Carolina in 2012.

Lawson is the Vice-Chair for the Dare County Republican Party. She is a voting member of the Republican Third Congressional District and a voting member of the NC State Republican Party Executive Committee. Lawson has extensive leadership experience with numerous committees. She leads the OBX TEA Party. She has participated in taxpayer and TEA Party activities across the country since 2009 when the TEA Party movement rebelled against out-of-control spending and taxing by Washington, DC, bureaucrats.

Lawson retired from a corporate position with Raytheon as a Principal Systems Engineer for the National Geo-Spatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) where she served as the Process Engineering Department Head. Her lean processes and defect reduction skills as a Six Sigma expert serves as the basis for the small business consulting service she operates out of her Kill Devils Hills residence. Her college years were spent at Radford University and Rollins College at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida. She is married with 3 children and 11 grandchildren. Her home church is Liberty Christian Fellowship in Colington.

Lawson said she is confident her training and experience in helping make organizations efficient and effective will be an asset when she serves in the General Assembly.

It is vital that our law-abiding citizens stop being held hostage to the whims of the anti-American federal administration. Together, Lawson believes, we can help North Carolina can RECLAIM THE DREAM. That dream is that America is the greatest nation on earth because of the founding principles that served our nation so well. She works constantly to help our nation return to its Founding Principles of smaller government with lower taxes, less abusive regulations, less intrusion into our private lives and stronger protections of our liberties. We can create jobs and build the economy back to where it should be. We can encourage a free market system with freedom of religion, the freedom to defend ourselves and our private property and the freedom to pursue integrity (what John Adams meant by "the pursuit of happiness").

What Led Self-professed Conservative Walter Jones to Endorse Self-professed Liberal Arthur Williams?

Beaufort County Now
June 24, 2012

I was going to write this story anyway: not because I want the success of one candidate over the other - even though I intuitively knew that I must break with my long standing tradition of never endorsing one Republican over another to lend my strong endorsement for Tea Party favored Mattie Lawson over the Democrat Arthur Williams here in the Republican primary runoff - but because there is foul stench forming heavy in this eastern North Carolina that must be vented. I pray these few good words do lend just a spritz of fresh air to assuage a small part of this foul aroma wafting from Beaufort County back to Raleigh, and possibly all about this 3rd Congressional District in North Carolina, and moreover, I also pray that you (our readership) now listen to others, think for yourselves, and find whatever whiff of fresh air that is still yet breathable, and get thyself in gear to do what will be right.


Furthermore, for the sake of complete fairness, if any or all of the mentioned parties in this post feel that this information is misrepresented, BCN will afford them equal space to refute all allegations. This represents our ongoing commitment to fairness whereby we may all arrive at what is true, so we can all do what is right to rid the air of this most unsuitable political stench.


Political chameleons appear to have a long shelf-life in long-Democrat-controlled eastern North Carolina. This truth still does not improve the foul political stench that has long existed in these parts. - Wyatt Sanderman Day

Commentary on Agenda 21 by Mattie Lawson

March 29, 2012


Over the last few months, along with many others, I've become educated on the threat of the United Nations program called Agenda 21 (Agenda for the 21st Century) and the impact it has already had on the lives of freedom-loving citizens all over the world, including us in North Carolina. Acts of the United Nations – because it carries international law and not US Constitutional law - are considered "soft laws" so they are not legally binding on us until accepted by our US Congress. That is the potential danger.  However, they are surprisingly often treated as biding law. That is the present danger.

Governing agencies within the United States, like the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), have already warmed up to the one-world-government concepts of Agenda 21 under our noses. The goals of Agenda 21 are evident in nearly every aspect of our lives since its inception in 1992 at the United Nations Earth Summit. There is another UN Earth Summit scheduled for July 2012 where a proposed UN Environmental Constitution For the World will be presented. This constitution, as presented, is a repressive system of global governance. We want no part of it – our leaders must not agree to this on our behalf in any form.

Through insidious stealth depending on misrepresentations and infiltration, the promotion of "collective" over "individualism" has crept into our schools; our local, state and federal governments; our corporations and even our churches. Such comments as "for the common good" and "sacrifices of the individual for the many" and the elevation of "teamwork" over "personal achievement" or "self-reliance" and the concept of self-esteem without actually doing anything noteworthy are commonplace. What is "fairness" except the exploitation of the "haves" for the benefit, earned or not, of the "have-nots"? Life is not fair and to think otherwise is delusional. Community planning has sought out "sustainable development", a code word for removing otherwise legal human access to property or "smart growth" intended to limit human access to rural lands. Buy-in to the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) (also called Local Governments for Sustainability), a UN accredited Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), is in violation of Article 1, Section 10 of the US Constitution which prohibits states and their subdivisions from entering alliances with foreign operatives.

Implementation of Agenda 21 concepts takes the form of public/private partnerships. The underlying principle is that government, not God or the people, is the maker of rights. Complicit private corporations/consultants/facilitators take control of organizations to cripple its economical standing and eventually to take over its private property. Methodologies include pretending to care for the environment and wildlife while instituting programs that endanger or kill the environment and wildlife. Kill hundreds of otters to save a handful of birds. Play god with life and liberty. Confusion reigns. An example is wasting billions of dollars on so-called sea-rise knowing full well scientists have demonstrated ocean levels are routinely cyclical. Teaching children to care for hypothetical environmental issues to the detriment of a basic solid education of American History, geography, spelling, creative thinking, etc. Spread of death through abortions, eugenics, death panels, so-called "quality of life" over "sanctity of life" decision-making and the shocking increase in suicides among our youth has found a home in our modern culture. Social justice replaces rule of law. Public debate is limited to politically correct topics. It is all connected.

Where this hits home for Eastern North Carolina is the senseless persecution of our hard-working commercial fishermen an loggers, the community-killing decisions to block our public beaches and charge excessive fees for access in the name of saving 38 nesting plovers (beachside only, the island nesters don't count – how convenient is that), the outrageously expensive home-owner and dwelling insurance policies, the dumbing down of our schools regardless of the $8K per pupil per year dumped into our technologically blessed schools and countless other regulations and laws that leave us scratching our heads in wonderment and despair. Why has the war on drugs failed? Why are more people on the dole than paying taxes? Why so many overlapping organizations all charging fees and making more legal demands on property owners? This is no accident.

Case in point is Currituck County. A new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) is being considered by the Currituck Commissioners. A meeting on this topic is scheduled for Monday, April 2nd. The UDO appears neutral. Perhaps it is perfectly fine with no threat to liberty. Maybe those property owners who attend facilitated sessions actually had the chance to speak their piece without being manipulated. However, considering the now known potential for organizations to insert United Nations One World Order concepts into town planning and development, as responsible citizens it is our duty to stop long enough to fully scrutinize every regulation to weed out ideas targeting the private property rights and self-reliant spirit of every law-abiding citizen and business.

Understand that the end goal of Agenda 21 is to create a one-world-government led by an elitist class of overlords. Population control is paramount. Sounds like socialism? How about communism? Though sold as a utopia where everyone does whatever they want and no one owns anything more than the shared collective, think North Korea. Think Cuba. Think East Germany. Think Soviet Russia. Think the Tragedy of the Commons. The experiment of a one-world-government will always end in tyranny as surely as a democracy tends to end in apathy unless it is carefully guarded and passed on intact to future generations.

The Republican National Committee approved a resolution against Agenda 21 in January. The Dare County Commissioners approved a resolution against Agenda 21 in February. Many other counties in North Carolina have also resolved to reject Agenda 21. Now the real work begins: recognize it, undo damage already done and put up a wall of protection from further erosion.

Learn more about the plans the United Nations has for us. Learn about Gaia, the earth goddess worshipped by the UN. More importantly, teach the miracle of the US Constitution to our children. Build committees to review existing building codes, communities planning documents, budgets, social programs, school curriculum, etc. Resist the temptation to spend outside our government and personal income levels. Challenge any touted science lacking documented proof and shilled as the newest crisis de jour (which is fixable, of course, for a price). Protect private property rights. Maintain gun rights. Become involved in your community. VOTE! Meet your neighbors. Love your families. Remember that the Creator who gave us our unalienable rights, as documented by our Founding Fathers, is still in control. Let's acknowledge Him as we move forward in the 21st Century in freedom.

Mattie Lawson is a candidate for N. C. House in the upcoming elections.
