Beaufort County Commissioners Pass Resolution Requesting that our Political Leaders Take Legal Action in Regards to the U. S. Senate’s Inequitable Distribution of The Public’s Money

    The Beaufort County Commissioners, in their General Meeting this past Monday, January 11, 2010, passed a resolution requesting that the North Carolina Congressional Delegation, and the governing and legal components of the State of North Carolina to sue for equal protection under the law for our state’s taxpayers / citizens. I wrote the original resolution as not only a protest, but as a hearty and sincere request that action be taken to remedy a terrible spate of governing enacted by the United States Senate to enforce cloture within the chambers our nation’s senate.

    As most everyone realizes, the leadership with the Democrat controlled U.S. Senate spent hundreds of billions of dollars to buy the votes of Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana to get the 60 votes necessary to enforce cloture, which would end any discussion / debate of the merits or demerits of the “Health Care Reform Bill” by the Republicans in the minority. While cloture is a pitiable way of making legislation, buying votes to achieve cloture is much worse.

    This horrible abomination subjected upon the nation and most especially the citizens of North Carolina, and in particular, Beaufort County is what I am concerned with and fortunately, a super majority of your county commissioners feel likewise as they voted 5 to 2 to pass a rewritten resolution requesting that justice be served, and in equal measure. Voting for the resolution was County Commissioners: Hood Richardson, Stan Deatherage, Al Klemm, Robert Cayton and Jay McRoy. Voting against the resolution was County Commissioners Jerry Langley and Ed Booth.

    The first scribed resolution dealt well enough with the subject at hand, however, Commissioner Klemm felt that it should stronger worded in respect to possible criminal activity foisted upon the public by the Democrats in control of the U.S. Senate and Commissioner Cayton desired that I load in some language that unfunded mandates not subsequently passed down from the state government to people of Beaufort County. Done and done, and the resolution passes.

    Act I: the resolution here below. Act II: Follow-through.

Resolution to the North Carolina Congressional Delegation and all Components of the North Carolina’s State Government to take Action to Seek Parity for Their Constituents, All North Carolinians in Respect to the Health Care Reform Bill

    Whereas, the people, taxpayers and citizens of the Great State of North Carolina all pay taxes as required by the taxing authority, The United States Treasury, and,

    Whereas, the people, taxpayers and citizens of the Great State of North Carolina expect equal protection under the law as to how that money is spent by the United States Congress, and,

    Whereas, the leadership of the United States Senate promised to pay, as incentives (bribes), which we consider may be illegal and constitutionally inappropriate, with over 100 billion dollars to each of these separate known states of Louisiana and Nebraska for extraordinary services as an enticement to secure the votes necessary to enforce cloture in their chambers to pass the Health Care Reform Bill, and,

    Whereas, it is incumbent that North Carolina Congressional Delegation and our leaders in our state government to ensure that their constituents are equally represented under the law and that their constituents should be equally afforded such separate and unusual provisions / rewards as the known states of Louisiana and Nebraska, consequently, we cannot withstand any additional unfunded mandates passed down from the State of North Carolina to our county’s citizens that would surely result from the aforementioned inequitable distribution of the public’s money, therefore,

    Let it be resolved, that the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners do hereby resolve that the North Carolina Congressional Delegation and all Components of North Carolina’s State Government should sue for equal protection under the law, and parity with other known and unknown states that received such excessive, and special, compensation as payment for their votes in respect to the Health Care Reform Bill.

Written by Beaufort County Commissioner Stan Deatherage and submitted to the Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners, North Carolina, for passage on January 11, 2009. Once passed, this resolution will be sent to the entire North Carolina Congressional Delegation, and all our peoples’ representatives in the North Carolina Government that are responsible for our protection under the law.
