‘Hypocrisy Much?!’: What Leaders of N.C. Rally Against Stricter Voter I.D. Laws Tell Marchers to Carry Just Might Make Your Head Explode
The Blaze, Dave
Urbanski, February 8, 2014
You have to wonder how many among the thousands who
participated in Saturday’s “Moral March on Raleigh” in North Carolina, angry
with GOP policies approved in 2013 — including a stricter voter I.D. law —
heeded one peculiar warning from march organizers:
Bring a photo I.D. to the march.
A downloadable PDF explaining “Important Do’s and Don’t's for Marchers!!!” includes this
tidbit: ”DO bring photo identification (driver’s license, passport or
other valid photo id) with you and keep it on your person at all times.”
#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.

Rigging the Future: Obamacare Creates 50 New State Databases With No Function Beyond Gathering Potential Voter Information, Real or Fraudulent
Since the
passage of Obamacare, all fifty state Medicaid agencies have been forced to
create a new standalone database that contains nothing besides the contact
information of Medicaid applicants who used Healthcare.gov.
Some of
these new databases mail out voter registration forms automatically. You cannot
refuse them.
No
worthwhile verification occurs before the forms are mailed. Apply for Medicaid
and the form will be mailed to you, be
you a verifiable citizen or Ayman al-Zawahiri on a computer in Pakistan
Further,
these new databases are accessible by groups like Organizing for Action, the
reconstituted ACORN, and malevolent figures like Chris Tarango.
And no reasonable purpose exists for creating the
databases besides making them available to the aforementioned Democratic
activists.
Heard
nothing regarding this before? Not only are you not alone, several state
secretaries of State we contacted had no clue any of this was occurring under
their watch. One source involved in the recently initiated legal battle to
expose and dismantle the databases described the situation as follows:
Evil
genius.
A complete
disregard for certain federal law, the skirting of others, the exploitation of
existing Medicaid structures, the issuing of rules and regulations with
virtually none of the required paper trail. …
Just evil
genius. They friggin’ thought of everything.
The
remainder of this article is composed of descriptions of the several decisions
made by Obamacare authors that led to the construction of the databases. The
listing of these decisions is intended to illustrate the impossibility that
these databases were created unintentionally, or due to incompetence — a
“fumble.”

THE RACE HUSTLERS KEEP COMING AFTER NC VOTER ID LAW
Why there is no vote fraud
in NC. . .
August
18, 2013
(Raleigh, NC)—AUG 18,
2013—After finally discovering the identities of the five persons who voted
twice in the November 2012 election, the Voter Integrity Project of NC is ready
to announce more stunning news: We can now reveal why there is no vote fraud in
North Carolina.
But first, I need to
refresh the public memory on this story. . . .
In February, 2013, we
completed our research as best we could (at the time) to conclude that up to 33
people who maintained dual residences in both Florida and North Carolina had
voted in both states during the November 2012 election. We then forwarded the information
to election officials in both states and asked them to investigate.
Don Wright, Chief
Counsel to the State Board of Elections, inspired our news announcement on March 20, 2013 when he confirmed that five of our alleged double voters “[were] continuing to be criminally
investigated with preparations to refer them to the appropriate District
Attorney.” The story garnered coverage from John Fund at the highly
regarded National Review Online and
on Fox
News; but perhaps because this upsetting story happened in the
middle of the Legislature’s debate over voter ID, local media ignored the
story.
The one exception to
this news black-out was a minor amount of interest shown by WNCT-9 news
producer, Jenny Moore. She asked us for the names of our “Fab Five,” but
Counselor Wright denied our query in a stern reply, “As with all criminal
investigations, generally the identification of persons under criminal
investigation in all cases is confidential until the suspect is arrested or
indicted. The present cases are referrals of criminal cases and it will be up
to the District Attorneys involved to release such information they set fit.”
[sic]
Sadly, our four-term
Attorney General, Roy Cooper, has shown little interest in [investigating
or making referrals for] prosecuting SBoE cases of election fraud, even though the BoE has offered up hundreds of cases.
So we decided to dig deeper while we hoped Cooper would do his job . . . and we
struck gold!
We finally discovered
that five people we submitted had names and dates of birth that were perfect
matches between the Florida and NC voter histories! Without revealing any
names, some details about their cases—and the NC counties from which they
voted—merit elaboration.
The Wayne County Perp
is the toughest case of all because of his age. He is a 91-year-old man, living
in both Port Richey, Florida and Goldsboro, NC. Maybe we’re mistaken, but it
appears that a man with the same name and date of birth has a stunning history
of double voting in both states. His civic practice in Florida shows participation
in every November election since 2002; but this registered Unaffiliated voter
apparently decided to steal extra votes in NC during the 2008, 2010 and 2012
general elections. Whether a man this old should go to jail is up to the
Wayne County DA, but we would at least ask that somebody make him stop stealing
votes!
Our Wake County Perp
votes from [Holly Springs and from] Jacksonville, and has cast Florida ballots since
2004. In 2008, he voted absentee in NC; but did not vote that time in Florida.
Perhaps the temptation was too much for this registered Democrat, so in 2012,
he voted in both states.
Blust says voting changes
are meant to strike a 'proper balance'
Doug Clark | Posted: Wednesday, August 21,
2013 9:23 am
The state legislature is "striking the proper balance between
ease of voting and the integrity of the voting," Republican state Rep.
John Blust said in an email exchange with me yesterday.
It began when Blust sent Allen Johnson and me a series of articles
by conservative analysts claiming that, with these changes, North Carolina's
voting laws will fall into line with those in many other states.
I sent this response to Blust:
"Is this really your best reason for supporting rollbacks in
voting opportunities – because we still won’t be as bad as some other states?
And now we’re seeing the next step – attacks on college students voting by
local election boards.
"The intellectual dishonesty behind this movement is
staggering. So far you’ve fooled the people who can’t recognize the pattern and
don’t understand the cumulative impact of all these individual changes. But
please don’t insult me by suggesting I should believe these actions are meant
to improve our election system and 'restore confidence' in government. I’m
ashamed of it and embarrassed for otherwise good people who have climbed on
board because the conductors whistled."
The following is his reply. Notable is his assurance that not one
single person will be prevented from voting by the new requirements and
restrictions -- and also that he actually doesn't agree with all the provisions
or like that they were presented on the last night of the legislative session.
Nevertheless, he voted for the entire package. It is also significant that, in
portraying the moves as attempts to strike a new balance between "ease of
voting and the integrity of the voting," he tacitly acknowledges that the
intended effect is to constrain "ease of voting."
From Blust:
"You call me intellectually dishonest and then fail to even
understand the point of the articles I sent you. I think the dishonesty of the
news coverage of this and several other issues is staggering! I am not arguing
that we are not “as bad as other states.” My argument is that we are striking
the proper balance between ease of voting and the integrity of the voting. (EDITOR NOTE: The legislation is actually very weak in protecting voter fraud).
We
are bringing our election laws in line with other states who have struck the
same balance without the Washington Post, the New York Times , and the News
& Record opining about a “neo Jim Crow.” You have made it clear that
attempts to strike such a balance will only be interpreted through your
template – those who want to strike the proper balance must be bad people. To
disagree with you is to be immediately labeled as a bad person with evil
motives. The only way to be a good person is to keep on making elections
chaotic and simply trust that nothing untoward will occur.
"The college early voting sites is a whole separate issue
from the bill which passed the legislature. I have nothing to do with local
“attacks on college students voting” as you erroneously put it. I was always
able to vote quite easily while I was in college. But I can tell you I have for
years heard complaints that college students ought to vote in their home towns.
Are those who think college students are smart enough to vote in a precinct are
bad people who do not want the students to vote at all? No it does not.
"If you want to feel insulted that I believe the changes will
improve the elections then you are free to feel insulted. That is what I truly
believe. People are so used to being required to show a photo ID for everything
imaginable that they do not think it is a big impediment to voting – which it
is not. The disgusting talk of “voter suppression” has been proven objectively
in other states with the photo requirement not to be true. Plaintiffs in one of
the lawsuits against photo ID (I think it was in Georgia) could not produce a
single person who could say they had been prevented from voting by the ID
requirement when required to do so during discovery. NOT ONE PERSON. I am sure
that fact will be kept out of the News & Record – it doesn’t fit your
template.

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.

NC PASSES VOTER ID, FINALLY! Will liberals ever stop lying????
Check out the Student Leftist Activist:
MOLLY
MC-UPDATE! The poor NCSU 'radical' who
fears she will lose her voting rights because she doesn't have ID...

ALSO....
CIVITAS: The lame argument that Voter
ID will disenfranchise college students who do not have ID cards...
Students Already have ID--As the State Senate continues to debate HB
589 VIVA, Voter Information Verification Act, it’s always interesting to
find the little facts that make liberals arguments look so lame. Here’s one or their complaints: Voter ID will
disenfranchise college students who do not have ID cards. Maybe people will be surprised and maybe a
few embarrassed to learn a lot of schools (if not all) require a valid ID, i.e.
DMV, passport, military, to acquire a school ID UNCrequires
an ID card for their students and staff. Here are the requirements for ECU and Duke and Elon. There
is no doubt that every college in North Carolina requires a valid ID of every
student on campus.

NC Senate Update from Senator Jerry Tillman
Senator Jerry Tillman
Senate Majority Whip
Senate update
July 24th, 2013
State Budget
Raleigh, N.C. – The
North Carolina Senate tentatively passed a $20.6 billion state
budget Tuesday.
Over the past few
weeks, we’ve heard Democrats fight to deny tax relief for working families,
impede our efforts to attract new jobs, reject meaningful improvements to
public education and resume the same wasteful spending that led to a
multi-billion deficit when they last controlled state government. In spite of
their efforts, I’m proud the Senate was able to pass a budget that funds core
priorities, strengthens our schools and makes smart investments in our future.
Don’t Buy The
Rhetoric
If your only source
of information is what you see and read in the news of the day, you’re missing
a lot – a whole lot….. The agreed upon budget does many worthwhile and positive
things:
· Fully funds growth in K-12, community colleges and universities.
· Spends more money in education, nearly $500 million, than the
previous budget.
· Eliminates negative reserves in K-12 budget.
· Funds excellent public schools at $236 million (will strengthen
literacy, improve graduation rates and increase accountability).
· Eliminates tenure (provides $500 bonus to high performing
teachers), $10.2 million.
· Establishes pay for performance rather than pay for time served.
· Gives increased flexibility to K-12, community colleges and
universities.
· Increases Medicaid funding and attempts to reform an out of
control system.
· Reforms transportation and project priorities to enhance highway
infrastructure and promote safe and effective travel.
· Eliminates needless and duplicative regulations.
· Eliminates Rural Center and provides Commerce with tools to
provide quick and efficient service to rural area projects.
· Reforms outdated tax code.
· Cuts a billion dollars in taxes for all taxpayers.
· Funds budget with recurring dollars – not one time money as our
predecessors continually did.
The Truth About the
Education Budget
Yogi Berra – famous
New York Yankees catcher and purveyor of famous one liner “Yogi-isms” – once
said, “It’s déjà vu all over again.” That is an accurate description of
the sounds coming from the left regarding the education budget. The North
Carolina General Assembly has a history rich in dialogue and debate. But,
when it comes to the left’s dialogue about the education budget, I can think of
no better characterization than President Ronald Reagan’s “here we go again.”
In 2011, we arrived
in Raleigh with a $2.5 BILLION dollar budget shortfall to deal with right out
of the gate. I don’t know if you can wrap your mind around a figure this
big, but trust me, it ain’t pocket change. Did we have the luxury of piles
of surplus money lying around? No. We had to find a way – without
raising taxes – to balance the budget and provide adequate funding for the
necessities of government. And we did just that.
The cries of doom
and gloom from the left surrounded the budget process from start to
finish. I think “draconian” won the award for most over-used word by the
left – a word that they tossed in every chance they had in hopes of scaring the
people. They had no facts, but that didn’t matter. If you bought into
their fear-mongering, you were convinced that public education in North
Carolina was flat out going to shut down. School doors would be padlocked
and children would roam the streets with no hope of ever receiving an
education.
I stood up in the
Senate chamber and called them out for such outrageous grandstanding. I
said, “Schools will open in the fall, teachers will teach, and public education
will continue to grow in North Carolina.” Schools did open, teachers are
teaching, and public education is on the road to great improvement thanks to
the “Excellent Public Schools Act” and other much-needed reform legislation
that was passed last session and in the current session.
So here we are
again. This time around the buzz word is “de-funding.” Scare
tactics and untruth once more are flying fast and furious. But let the
facts speak for themselves:
The budget that we
have proposed fully funds enrollment growth across the board. And, the
proposed K-12 budgeted amount for Fiscal Year 13-14 is $7,867,960,649.
This budgeted amount is 2.1% above what was spent in Fiscal Year 12-13, which
was $7,705,071,707. Now you tell me, is spending nearly $8 BILLION
dollars on K-12 de-funding education? Is spending more on K-12 this
session de-funding education? I don’t know about the left, but the folks
I represent can answer these questions…
The bottom line is
that we are funding education in North Carolina. We are investing
millions to help children learn to read by the 3rd grade. (When community
colleges and universities say that the biggest problem they have is freshmen
not being able to read, something ain’t right.) We are giving local
school districts the flexibility to spend their State funds in the way that is
best for their particular schools. And we are keeping the budget
balanced. I’d say we are doing what we were elected to do…You will see…
Election Reform
· We have an outdated, archaic state election code that is no
longer relevant to today’s political landscape. Our election code hasn’t seen
comprehensive change in 3 decades.
· Our reforms restore transparency to the election process, create
clear guidelines that everyone can understand and follow and reduce the
opportunity for political gamesmanship.
· Our bill also fulfills one of our most important campaign
promises – ensuring the integrity of elections by requiring voters to show
photo identification at the polls.
Photo ID
· Our bill guarantees any North Carolina citizen
who wants to vote will have that opportunity. It establishes a list of valid
government-issued photo IDs – including driver’s licenses, non-operator ID
cards, tribal and military IDs and passports – that voters can present at their
polling places. And it allows anyone without a photo ID to obtain one at no
cost through the Department of Motor Vehicles.
· It also outlines a gradual implementation timeline, beginning
with the 2014 elections, for informing voters and enacting the photo ID
requirement, until the law is fully enforced in 2016.
· For years, polls have consistently shown that an overwhelming
majority of North Carolinians support this common sense policy.
· And our action makes North Carolina one of more than 30 states
and one of the last states in the Southeast to adopt a voter ID law.
· Our bill brings clarity and transparency to the voting process.
It curtails questions of voter fraud by folks on both sides of the aisle and
helps ensure every candidate wins or loses on his or her own merits.
· Liberals claim we shouldn’t be worried about protecting our
elections because voter fraud isn’t happening. But it’s reckless to claim the
problem doesn’t exist when we haven’t been looking for it.
Early Voting
· Our bill streamlines the early voting process to10 days while
providing counties the flexibility to increase the overall number of early
voting hours – ensuring ample time for voters to make their voices heard.
· Currently, each county sets their own early voting days and
hours on a location-by-location basis. This lack of consistency creates
confusion among voters and increases opportunities for gamesmanship, since local
election boards could set longer hours for particular sites to increase
partisan participation.
· For this reason, our bill specifies that all of a county’s
one-stop sites must operate the same days and hours. Counties will continue to
have the option to open polls on Sundays.
· The bill allows time to verify voter information by repealing
same-day registration, ensuring accuracy. And it strengthens the
requirements for absentee ballots.

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man;
true nobility is being superior to your former self.” –Ernest Hemingway
In the 14th Century, St. Francis was a
respected theologian, scholar and writer. When asked this question, “What
would you do if today was your last day on earth?” He replied, “I would do what
I do every day – start my day with prayer and supplication, see loved ones,
tend my garden and go to bed.” Sounds like a man at peace with himself and with
his maker…..

Take These to the Bank
· You cannot legislate the
poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
· What one person receives
without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
· The government cannot give
to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
· You cannot multiply wealth
by dividing it!
· When half of the people get
the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take
care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to
work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the
beginning of the end of a nation.
I’ll let you decide where America stands in regard to the
items above. I know…..
Standing Room Only

This Really Happened
Recently, Davie Co. Senator Andrew Brock was trying to
explain his bill in the Senate Finance Committee. Senator Dan Blue looked
back at me and asked, “What did Senator Brock just say?” I replied – “I
don’t know, Andrew has started speaking Brock again.” I can’t remember whether
his bill passed out of committee or not. I’m not sure Andrew does
either…..
Scared To Death
Martin Nesbitt said on the Senator floor (7-17) that the

it.”…..
