We Need Help for MAJOR State Legislation and Projects

Hello Everyone,

I received the following from NC House member Glen Bradley, a strict constitutionalists.  He sees great importance in passing 2 critical bills/resolutions in the short session and needs our help.  These bills touch ever so strongly on individual liberty and on the notion that states are supposed to STICK UP and PROTECT our rights and not help the government take them away.
Please get the message out as best you can.

The bills are as follows (copied from the email)  –

First project I want to discuss is our bill to refuse compliance with Agenda 21.  Because this is a bit complicated, I will try to explain what is going on.

A non-budgetary bill may only be introduced in the short session with 2/3 support of the members. A resolution may be introduced at any time, and does not count towards out 10 bill limit. Therefore we have a resolution to introduce the noncompliance bill, and then the noncompliance bill itself that will be introduced upon 2/3 passage of the resolution. The resolution to introduce will gain a bill number on May 16th when it is introduced.

Here is what we need, we need 2/3 support from members of both the House and the Senate on the introduction resolution here:

So please contact your State Representative and State Senator and express to them how much you want them to support the anti-Agenda21 resolution and noncompliance bill, so that we can get the 2/3 support we need to introduce the actual noncompliance bill here:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByAbMc4d18WVR0VIUjN0ZUVBdnM

If you State Representative or State Senator is a Democrat, there are a wide variety of “Democrats against Agenda 21″ groups out there in existence, so it may help to look a few of them up first and reference them when contacting your Rep or Senator. I will also be attempting to rally those groups.See More:    2011-LB-428B.pdf – Google Docs

And the second project I want to bring to your attention is a resolution composed by OathKeepers and the Patriot Coalition to DENOUNCE the provision for the indefinite detention of American citizens in sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense and Authorization Act (NDAA).

This one is a lot more straightforward even if the bill is significantly longer.  It is simply a resolution (a Nullification resolution), which means that it can be introduced on Day 1 of the short session and it does not count towards my 10-bill limit.  So we also need your help to support the resolution to oppose/object to the indefinite detention provision of the NDAA.  It too will aquire a bill number on May 16th.

On Richard Morgan, candidate for Insurance Commissioner and traitor to the GOP (made co-chair deal with Democrat Jim Black, backstabbing the GOP)

From: “Capital Area Republicans” <carepublicans@excite.com>
Resolution of the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Republican Party

Be it resolved by the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Republican party that,

Whereas Richard Morgan is registered Republican, and

Whereas Richard Morgan is the Co-Speaker of the House of Representatives, and

Whereas Richard Morgan is the Republican leader of the House as defined in Article VI.B.1.d. of the North Carolina Republican Party State Plan of Organization, and,

Whereas Richard Morgan is a Member of the State Executive Committee and State Central Committee pursuant to Article VI.B.1d. and Article VI.C.1.a. of the North Carolina Republican Party State Plan Organization as a result of his position as Co-speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, and

Whereas the Republican Party and the NCGOP State Central and Executive Committees exist, according to the preamble of the NCGOP State Plan of Organization, “for the purpose of uniting and coordinating our efforts for maximum power and efficiency,” and

Whereas Richard Morgan has stated publicly his intention as Speaker to defeat his political enemies within the Republican House Caucus, and

Whereas Richard Morgan was intimately involved in the design of the adopted unconstitutional redistricting maps that would likely prevent the Republican Party from obtaining a Republican majority, and

Whereas Richard Morgan has since the adoption of the maps joined in as a plaintiff in legal actions designed and contrived to prevent a Republican majority, and

Whereas Richard Morgan refused to vote for either of the Republican House Caucus nominees for Speaker of the House, and

Whereas Representative George Holmes was the duly endorsed nominee of the House Republican Caucus for Speaker of the North Carolina House, and,

Whereas Richard Morgan’s activities within the Republican House Caucus directly and substantially contributed to the loss of a solely Republican Speakership of the North Carolina House, and

Whereas Richard Morgan’s vote in favor of the House resolution naming himself and Democrat Jim Black as Co-Speakers falls within the meaning of “influencing the outcome of any election against a Republican endorsed by the appropriate Legislative Caucus,” and

Whereas Article VII.G. of the NCGOP State Plan of Organization states that “Each officer and each Member of the State Executive Committee shall refrain from utilizing the powers and dignity of his or her office or position in any Republican Primary for public office at any level,” and

Whereas Article VII, E.2. states in part “Any registered Republican attempting to influence or influencing the outcome of any election against… a Republican endorsed by the appropriate… Legislative Caucus may be declared ineligible to hold office under the State Plan of Organization at the State, District, and Precinct level for Party disloyalty by 2/3 vote of the State Executive Committee,” and

Whereas Article VII.A.7.a. states “Any Member of a Committee organized under this Plan may be removed by a 2/3′s vote of the respective Committee…,” and

Whereas Richard Morgan was furnished with notice of the charges against him signed by not less than 50 of the Members of State Executive Committee two weeks before this Committee meeting.

Therefore the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Republican Party finds that Richard Morgan’s political agenda is different from and injurious to the North Carolina Republican Party, and

Further the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Republican Party finds that Richard Morgan’s political agenda and his position on the NCGOP State Executive Committee are in conflict and thus his service on the Executive Committee is therefore grossly inefficient under Article VII.A.7. of the NCGOP State Plan of Organization, and

Further the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Republican Party finds Richard Morgan culpable of disloyalty to the North Carolina Republican Party, and

Further the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Republican Party orders Richard Morgan’s immediate removal from the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Republican Party pursuant to Article VII.A.7. of the North Carolina Republican Party State Plan of Organization.

Lastly the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Republican Party declares that Richard Morgan is ineligible to serve in any Office under this Plan of Organization for a period of five years pursuant to Article VII.E.2. of the North Carolina Republican Party.

Resolution of the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Republican Party to Order Richard Morgan’s Immediate Removal from the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Republican Party

An Important Message from Fern Shubert

You have a golden opportunity to do something that will save you money and really irritate those who profit from bad government. But you must act now, because in less a week it will be too late.

In less than a week the Republican primary will be over and the Republican nominee for State Auditor will be decided. Since the State Auditor is the person responsible for being sure our state’s books are honest and above board and your tax dollars are not wasted or stolen, it is in your personal interest to be sure you elect the most experienced, most competent and most outspoken advocate for the public’s right to know what’s happening in government that you can find.

I’m Fern Shubert and I’d like to serve you as your State Auditor.

I am a current and longtime CPA with extensive audit experience, including audit management.

I’m familiar with state government from my work as a Representative and Senate Republican Whip.

I’ve proven my ability to identify problems before they’re readily apparent and my willingness to speak out to inform the public.

Please, please, please compare the records of the candidates running for auditor and I think you’ll see why you want to be sure I win.

Author and radio talk show host Jason Lewis called me North Carolina’s most fearless fiscal leader. My audit experience made it easy for me to spot what others missed. I was so outspoken about the unethical behavior of Jim Black and Mike Easley that in 2004 Ed Williams of The Charlotte Observer actually told me people thought I was nuts. Now Black has spent time in federal prison and Easley has been publicly disgraced and any honest observer would have to admit I was right all along.

In N.C. Senate Race, Republican Ramsey Gets Help From Other Aircraft Providers

Political newcomer receives significant support from outside district

RALEIGH — Campaign finance disclosures made available this week show that Randy Ramsey has outraised and outspent his chief rival, Norm Sanderson, significantly in the Republican primary in N.C. Senate District 2.

Ramsey, a first-time candidate for the General Assembly, was associated closely with Democratic politicians until he chose to run. His support from Democrats includes air travel for Gov. Bev Perdue and a $2,000 contribution to her campaign in July. Before this year, he had given $3,750 to Republican candidates, but more than 10 times that amount to Democratic campaigns and to the state Democratic Party. Moreover, some people connected to the flying scandal that led to the criminal prosecution of and felony plea by Democratic former Gov. Mike Easley also have donated to Ramsey’s campaign.

Ramsey is the owner of Jarrett Bay Boatworks, a boat-building company located in Beaufort. His previous financial support of Democrats — even though he is a registered Republican — was the subject of a recent Carolina Journal cover story.

Sanderson, a first-term member of the N.C. House representing Craven and Pamlico counties, is a small business owner in Havelock. He decided to run for state Senate this year rather than seek re-election to his House seat. A third candidate, Ken Jones, also is running. The State Board of Elections could not locate Jones’ campaign finance reports by press time.

With days left until the election Tuesday, Ramsey has raised $418,649 — including $234,000 in money he has loaned to his campaign — and spent $285,299. Sanderson’s fundraising and spending totals dwarf those figures. He raised $32,613 and spent $28,691 over that time period.

The Senate district comprises Craven, Carteret, and Pamlico Counties. Approximately half of Ramsey’s actual contributions came from persons living outside the district. Ramsey also received the maximum individual contribution of $4,000 apiece from Daniel M. Doyle, Nicole Doyle, and Daniel M. Doyle Jr. of Belleair, Fl.

In addition, Ramsey received donations from the family of Elizabethtown businessman D.M. “Mac” Campbell Jr., who had close ties to the Easley and Perdue administrations and in the past by provided unreported flights to the chief executives, as documented by Carolina Journal.

One of Mac Campbell’s sons, Raleigh businessman McQueen Campbell, was at the center of the scandal involving unreported flights for former Gov. Mike Easley. McQueen Campbell’s wife Laurie Campbell gave Ramsey $1,000 using her previous name Laurie Perkis, but Ramsey’s campaign report listed her last name as Perkins. (The Campbells married in January.) McQueen Campbell’s brother Wesley gave Ramsey $250 and their father Mac Campbell gave Ramsey $1,000.

Jimmy D. Clark of Greensboro, who also was involved in Perdue’s unreported flying activities, gave Ramsey $1,000. Former N.C. Supreme Court chief justice Burley Mitchell, a Democrat, gave Ramsey $250.

The primary is May 8.

Editor’s note: Ramsey continues to lie about Norm Sanderson’s record. This time he is lying about his support to our troops. If Ramsey so easily lies during the campaign, can you trust him as your NC Senator in District 2?

Ramsey is just wrong about what H115 is and he continues to send out these mailers.  He knows that negative campaigning works.  When you have a quarter of a million dollars to spend against Sanderson’s $30,000 you can buy your way.  It is unfortunate that this is the way a Republican works against another Republican and especially a VERY conservative one like Rep. Sanderson.

On House bill 810 the  “non bank” lenders  were asking the state to allow them to charge higher interest rates when they had not had an increase in over a decade.  I do understand that because they have a very high failure rate.  These are legitimate lenders and not “loan sharks”.  I have learned much more about this bill since I voted against it.  I spoke to a business owner who owned one of these loan companies and he said only 5% of his loans were military.    We all know how hard it is to get a bank loan right now and sometimes when people’s credit is not the greatest they go to one of these loan companies.  Many of these loan companies are just hanging on by threads. So it was a vote that I truly have mixed emotions about.  I certainly did not want a legitimate business to fail by my “against” vote.

I voted against  the bill in more of a “Navy Relief” volunteer way.  I remembered when I volunteered for Navy Relief as a budget counselor  that I saw the young troops get in trouble for bad loans.  I have realized since that by voting agaomst this, if it had passed ,could have  sent these young troops into the arms of loan sharks.  That was not my intention.  I had a friend at Family Services who asked me to vote against this bill.  Only a few Republicans voted against it because it was truly a “jobs” bill and a “pro business” bill.  I was very torn on how to vote for this bill but being a military spouse for 30 years, a volunteer for Navy Relief and a mother trying to protect our young military, I did vote for it.

Rep. Sanderson and all but a couple of us Republicans voted for this bill because it is a “jobs” bill and because they had amended the bill to make it more palatable to the military by saying that a service person would not be able to get one of these loans  without prior permission from his or her commanding officer.

A vote for this bill certainly was NOT an anti military vote.  I know Rep. Sanderson’s history on supporting the military.  The attacks on him again are just wrong and unethical.  When will it stop?

Thanks,
Pat

CONSTITUTIONAL  AMENDMENT:  Vote “FOR“

Former NC Democratic Party Executive Director Jay Parmley (WTVD Photo)

RALEIGH — The executive director of the North Carolina Democratic Party announced his resignation Sunday in the wake of frustrations by party activists over high turnover at the party headquarters and harassment allegations there.

Jay Parmley took over as executive director last year after serving three years in the same post in South Carolina. Before that, he served in the same position in Oklahoma – his native state.

In his resignation letter obtained by ABC11, Parmley vehemently denied harassing any party worker.

“Let me be clear: I have never harassed any employee at any time,” he wrote in part.

News of the rumored allegations first surfaced Friday on conservative websites, including the Drudge Report.

The stories were based on emails between top North Carolina Democratic Party officials which the ABC11 I-Team also obtained. The messages reference rumors of allegations of sexual harassment within the headquarters of the North Carolina Democratic Party.

The emails don’t show who was allegedly harassed, but they mention rumors of a financial settlement that allegedly was reached between a former staffer and a top party official which allegedly included a non-disclosure agreement.

While Democratic officials confirmed some staffers had left their employment with the NCDP, they declined to comment further on personnel matters.

Contacted by ABC11, other top Democrats called the rumored allegations – if true – troubling and called for further investigation.

In his resignation letter, Parmley called the reports false and misleading.

“The over one thousand political people who have worked with me over the years know this kind of behavior would be unconscionable to me. In fact, fighting against actions like these is one of the reasons I’m a Democrat,” he wrote.

In a statement that accompanied Parmley’s resignation letter Sunday, NC Democratic Party Chairman David Parker accepted the resignation and said he believes there have not been grounds to fire Parmley.

“As an attorney who has successfully prosecuted harassment and discrimination cases, I have seen the devastating consequences of hostile environments on harassed workers and also on those inappropriately accused of creating them. I am strongly committed to the principals of a harassment, hostility and discrimination free environment, both at work and in general society and to justice fairly and impartially rendered. My commitment applies equally to same gender relationships and harassment as to any other form of harassment or discrimination,” wrote Parker.

“After consulting legal counsel, and based on my own experience in harassment cases and my own personal philosophy, it became my opinion that there have not been grounds for termination for cause of Jay Parmley.”

“In this political world of rushing to judgment and the presumption of guilt, however, my legal and personal opinion has been outweighed by this having become a political distraction and issue.”

Parmley did not say what his future plans include.

“Everything happens for a reason and I’m sure this unfortunate chapter will lead to a new challenge in my life and career,” he wrote.
