#MoralMarch Recap
Excerpts from article by Lady Liberty 1885!
So, the NC NAACP held their
‘grassroots’ Moral March – which was really just the annual HK on J (Historic
Thousands on Jones St) with a bunch of groups bused in to make more noise. The
main protest point, among the laundry list presented, was voter
ID........
“People were bused in from NY, VA, GA, and SC. Yes, as far away as NY.
Possibly even DCand Chicago? Yep – DC too and TN: “Planned Parenthood says buses with their supporters came from Georgia , Tennessee
and Washington , D.C.
“A who’s who of the
far Left were in attendance including, Occupy, NC Student Power Union, Low pay is not ok, AFL-CIO, Raise Up, UFCW, NC Justice Center, Planned Parenthood, Progress NC, Sierra club, LGBT, EqualityNC, NCAAN, GroundSwell, NCAE,socialists, more socialists, Moms Rising, Greenpeace, FLOC, F.I.S.T. and many more.
Estimates on crowd size bordered on hilarity. Carolina Mercury’s photos pretty much” .........

NAACP Expands Election Law Challenge
By Barry Smith, Jan. 10th, 2014
The Rev. William Barber, North Carolina NAACP president, said the organization was making it clear in the lawsuit that the new law would have a disparate impact on Hispanics as well as African Americans. He also said that the state would add the elimination of pre-registration for 16- and 17-year-olds to the lawsuit. Meantime, a former member of the Federal Elections Commission said the expanded lawsuit still fails to prove that aspects of the state’s election reform laws are unconstitutional.
“We will take on the issue of Latinos, and how this bill is impacting the Latino community,” Barber said Thursday during a telephone press conference. He said Maria Palmer, a newly elected member of the Chapel Hill Town Council and the first Hispanic elected to that post, was being added to the lawsuit as a plaintiff.

Few in NC apply for free voter ID card
Voters will need government-issued photo ID to cast a ballot
in 2016 under a state law set last year by the Republican-controlled General
Assembly.
The law that requires the voter identification has other
provisions that include ending same-day voter registration, trimming the period
for early voting from 17 days to 10 and eliminating a program that encourages
high school students to register to vote in advance of their 18th birthdays.
The political parties said they would work with their
members to make sure those who need the free IDs would get them in time.

NC Voter Integrity Project
Same-Day Chaos:
Nearly 5,000 NC Voters Still Not Verified Eleven Months Later
October 23, 2013
(Raleigh, NC)-OCT 23, 2013- The Voter
Integrity Project-NC, released a report today suggesting that as many as 4,857
North Carolina voters in the November 2012 election may have abused the
Same-Day Registration law in order to vote illegally and 2,253 of them were in
Mecklenburg County.
“These voters all registered and
voted during the last 19 days before the election,” said Jay DeLancy, Executive
Director of the Voter Integrity Project, “but election offices were never able
to verify the addresses of a significant number. This suggests that they were
never residents of the state, but their votes still counted.”
Until January 2014, NC law (§
163-82.7) requires a “tentative determination” of the voter’s identity within
48 hours, but the follow-on verification is performed by mail and takes longer
to complete.
“Anybody registering and voting
illegally toward the end of the Early Voting period has a pretty good chance of
safely stealing a vote,” said DeLancy. “It all depends on how quickly the
county board can do the mailings.”
Under current North Carolina law, if
the USPS returns as “undeliverable” the verification notice sent by
nonforwardable mail, the county board is required to deny the application.
VIP-NC has trouble with that process, which was mandated under the 1993
National Voter Registration Act.
“Our entire electoral system hinges
on all postal carriers being 100 per cent accurate by not delivering any verification letters
incorrectly,” he said, “and who among us ever received a misdirected piece of
mail?”
To determine the significance of the
problem, VIP-NC obtained a public record showing the complete voter history of
all NC voters and then screened out all except for the voters who registered at
the polls during last November’s one-stop voting period.

Voter Misinformation Abounds with Unanswered Questions
From the NAACP to the liberal left to
Democrats to the media, rampant attacks have been launched on the Voter ID Bill
in North Carolina and other areas though the
courts have upheld similar laws in Georgia
and South Carolina
Help
America Vote Act is the name of a federal 2002 law not unique to North Carolina
This
act is in no way a voter suppression effort as those who malign it have tried
to define it. Every citizen can vote and is encouraged to do so with
a series of outreach and educational efforts suggested for the county boards of
election. It must be noted that it is the counties which determine
early voting sites. This is usually based on population locations spread
throughout the counties. These decisions all rest within the
province of county boards of election.
As
of noon for the first day of early
voting at the Rowan County Public Library, one of the main voter locations in Salisbury , NC
The NC Voter ID Law had one major
problem that all are remiss in not discussing publicly which relates to how
student voters are handled. In Elizabeth City, NC a student there
petitioned to run for the city council while being a resident in a
dorm. His initial denial was overturned on appeal to the Board of
Elections in appreciation that the Supreme Court of the state and nation had
ruled that students who live on campus have a right to vote. That is
not the issue. The question is where?

Why State Government Elections Matter
AMERICAN THINKER, AUGUST 16. 2013
What happened in Wisconsin happened in other states in which Republicans held enough power to move their agenda. While Obama carried Ohio, for example, and Democrats won the Senate race, Republicans actually strengthened the hold of the Ohio Legislature. Perhaps most interesting is what is happening in North Carolina right now. Republicans in 2012 -- an "Obama" election year -- captured the governorship and strengthened their control of both houses of the North Carolina Legislature.
CONTINUED: Why State Government Elections Matter
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the AFL-CIO is going to using the lion's share of its political resources in the 2014 midterm to elect Democrats at the state government level rather than in congressional elections. Republicans, without ignoring federal elections, ought to be just as concerned about winning state government elections.
Washington is a mess -- perhaps an incurable mess. Since George H. Bush was elected president twenty years ago, conservatives have found almost nothing encouraging at the federal level. Himalayan federal debt, surreally stupid energy policies, Marx Brothers-like national security policies, deconstruction of the finest health care system in the world, and an endless stream of weary rhetoric connected to a campaign cycle which never stops -- all this means that the best we can hope for in winning federal elections is to stop or slow down leftist mischief.
State government is very different: actual reforms can be implemented -- and, under Republican governments, have been implemented. The new voter ID law in North Carolina is an excellent example. Because Republican Pat McCrory won the gubernatorial race last year and Republicans maintained control of both houses of the North Carolina Legislature, serious new provisions to reduce voter fraud are now state law.
Two years ago, Scott Walker, who was swept into office with Republican majorities in the Wisconsin Legislature, enacted public employee union reforms over the howls and hisses of established leftism. The left tried everything to defeat this -- Democrat legislators fled to Chicago to prevent a quorum; public employee union operatives flooded the capitol; the left tried to defeat Judge Prosser in his retention election; and Democrats tried to recall the governor, the lieutenant governor, and several state senators.
The reforms enacted by Walker and his Republicans worked, and the left faced humiliating defeats which extended even into November 2012. Although Obama carried Wisconsin and Republicans lost the Senate election there, Republicans at the state level did just fine: they actually gained seats in both houses of the Wisconsin Legislature.
What happened in Wisconsin happened in other states in which Republicans held enough power to move their agenda. While Obama carried Ohio, for example, and Democrats won the Senate race, Republicans actually strengthened the hold of the Ohio Legislature. Perhaps most interesting is what is happening in North Carolina right now. Republicans in 2012 -- an "Obama" election year -- captured the governorship and strengthened their control of both houses of the North Carolina Legislature.
North Carolina Republicans are now showing just what Wisconsin Republicans showed two years ago: courage to make big changes and the will to do that very fast. North Carolina has just adopted a voter fraud prevention law which is very easy to defend, and these Republicans are quite properly ignoring the threats and howls of establishment leftism. Two weeks ago, North Carolina Republicans enacted sweeping education reforms which end teacher tenure, provide means-tested voucher programs, and deconstruct some of the education bureaucracy. One week before that, North Carolina Republicans passed the first major overhaul of the state tax system in eighty years.
What has happened in Wisconsin and North Carolina has happened in other Republican-run sates since the 2010 landslide. If Republicans are able to dominate state government elections again in 2014, then American government and politics could truly be transformed, for several reasons:
These reforms are enacted quickly, and the results of the reforms can be seen easily and soon. One reason Scott Walker survived recall was that Wisconsin voters saw his reforms working.
States also provide the chance to really experiment to see which of several paths leads to the best state education system, the optimum growth-generating tax system, and the most effective voter fraud measure. Conservatives across America can show not only one or two ways to reform broken systems, but perhaps dozens of ways.

Debunking Media Myths About Student Voters (in NC) | Pundit House
Leftist groups in North Carolina and beyond continue to hold a losing hand in the voter ID game; but with the help of the highly partisan media, they’re trying to bluff their way out of it.
Case in point is the voter ID bill and the superb corrections the NC Senate made to the final version in the area of student ID cards. The House had allowed for 76 different college ID cards to count as “valid ID” for voting purposes; but the Senate, realizing the potential for fraud, simply said “no.”
Before the ink was even dry on the bill, the Soros-backed “Blueprint NC” mobsbegan a campaign to reverse this sensible law. Using their typical agitation rhetoric, one leftist activist called the student ID provisions, “unnecessary, mean-spirited changes that target and punish college students who want to participate in the civic life of their college community.”
While not nearly as colorful, the truth is that no college students will be denied their right to vote. The only impact will be that students will be forced to do one endeavor they have never been required to do before voting: To put it bluntly, they will soon have to . . . well . . . to think before they vote.
In case those words offend any college students reading this column, I have some news that might soften the blow of this “draconian” measure: You won’t need to think too soon, because the Legislature delayed implementation of that provision until January 1, 2016.

N.C. Voter Laws Would Remain More Liberal Than In Many States
'Blue' states in Northeast and Midwest deny early voting, no-excuse absentee balloting
RALEIGH — The terms “voter
suppression” and “outrageous” were bandied about during the recent debate over
North Carolina's voter ID and election law reforms. Editorial boards from Raleigh to New
York inveighed against the alleged “intolerance” shown by North
Carolina lawmakers’ electoral reforms.
But comparing election laws in North Carolina with those of other states shows that the Tar Heel State has had and — even if Gov. Pat McCrory signs House Bill 589, passed in the legislative session’s closing hours — would continue to maintain fairly liberal access to voting, especially when contrasted with several Northeastern states.
While New York Times editorialists bemoaned what they consider a mean-spirited attitude toward low-income and minority voters from the North Carolina General Assembly, the Empire State’s election laws are more restrictive than ours.
“It shows that a great deal of the criticism, frankly, is without merit,” said Rep. Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, who co-chairs the House Elections Committee.
Brent Laurenz, executive director of the N.C. Center for Voter Education, said that he believed North Carolina’s election laws helped boost voter participation in North Carolina. Laurenz said North Carolina went from being among the 10 worst states in voter participation to being 11th nationally.

Newsletter from NC Senator Norman Sanderson
July 2013
News from the NC Senate
This past Friday ended the
2013 NC Legislative Session, and I think you will be pleased with the results!
You sent us to Raleigh to help rebuild our state's economy, lower
taxes, right-size government, pass Voter ID laws, and protect personal
freedoms, and we have accomplished these things. Please see some of the
highlights below.
I have learned that in order for our form
of government to work, there must be a system of checks and balances - there
is often give and take. It's not easy nor do we always get
everything we want, but the system serves the citizens of our great state
well.
I will now be spending more time in our
district these next few months talking to groups and individuals, so please
contact me to schedule a meeting via email atNorman.Sanderson@ncleg.net or by phone (252) 249-3749.

2013 Legislative Accomplishments
Tax Reform
We passed a tax
reform plan that simplifies the state's 1930s Depression-era tax code,
provides major tax relief to ALL North Carolinians and makes the state far
more attractive to job-creating businesses. It cuts taxes by more than $1
billion in the first three years alone.
We cut the personal
income tax rate, the corporate income tax rate, capped the gas tax,
eliminated the death tax and ended dozens of loopholes for special interests.
These reforms immediately moved our state from 47th in national rankings to
the 17th best business tax climate in America.
Budget
We passed a $20.6
billion state budget that invests in core services, streamlines state
government, strengthens public education and grows North Carolina's economy.
Our budget safeguards NC's long-term fiscal health while cutting taxes for
all citizens.

Photo ID for Voters
We passed a common-sense provision that requires North
Carolinians to show photo ID when they vote. An Elon University poll from
earlier this year showed that 72% of North Carolina residents support
requiring voters to show photo ID before voting. Our action brought NC in
line with the majority of other states.
Education Reform
We passed major education reforms to strengthen
student literacy, improve graduation rates and increase accountability.
We continued our commitment to implementing a pay for excellence system
by including $10.2 million to fund annual pay raises for the most effective
teachers.
Unemployment Insurance Reform
We reformed our broken unemployment insurance program and
set a pathway for repaying NC's $2.5 billion debt to the federal government.
Under our plan, NC will be out of debt by 2016 and our unemployment system
will be solvent and no longer a hindrance to economic growth.
|
Preserving Justice and
Public Safety
We passed a bill to restart
the death penalty in NC to ensure justice for more than 100 NC families whose
loved ones' lives were brutally taken.
Second Amendment Rights
We continued our
commitment to protection of our Second Amendment rights by expanding
the number of places that people with a concealed carry permit can carry
firearms. We strengthened safety measures for the public and penalties for
criminals who violate our gun laws.
Holding Abortion Clinics
Accountable
We passed common-sense
provisions to ensure patient safety by requiring abortion clinics to adhere to
similar standards as other surgical facilities. We protected
all healthcare workers from being compelled to perform abortions that are
against their moral, ethical and religious objections. We defended
taxpayers against being forced to pay for abortions.
LOCAL ISSUES
In Senate District
2, we were able to place another stay on ferry tolls and completely revamp
the way decisions are made on whether to toll ferries or not. This decision
will now be made on a more local level within our Rural Planning Organization,
not on a state legislative level. Also, Tryon Palace received critical funding
for the coming year that will allow them to prepare for becoming more
self-sufficient.
