NC Senate balks at helping coastal NC!

Latest Polls (view all)

Now that Kamala Harris has been coronated the Democratic Socialist designee for nomination as their candidate for President of these United States, after that political party's contrived primary process "democratically" elected Joseph R. Biden: What are your feelings about this party's progressive posture within their self-styled exercise of "Saving Democracy for America," and how truly critical the outcome of this presidential election will be?

0% I am ecstatic that this "Democracy's" First partially Black, First partially Indian, First female Co-Parent, and that this nation's primary necessity is to elect our First woman president.

25% I really do not care about all these "Firsts." I will continue to pray, and work for this Representative Republic to elect someone competent, and brilliantly patriotic to be our next president.

75% I will never vote for any politician that "first" does not have the core values to understand how dire this Constitutional Republic's situation has become.

For Immediate Release:

    The Senate budget directs NC DOT to tax ALL ferries, including the Currituck-Knots Island ferry and the Hatteras to Ocracoke ferry. It directs DOT to ignore Governor's Perdue moratorium and begin to collect the ferry taxes, effective July 1, 2012. The specific ferry language is found at page 140 in the latest online version: http://www.ncleg.net/sessions/2011/budget/2012/H950-CSMDxf-28.PDF

    The Senate's version of the state budget demonstrates a lack of understanding of the urgent needs of coastal citizens. This is a continuation of our fight to protect coastal citizens. We cannot become complacent during these last weeks of the legislature. The NC House and Governor agree with us, but the Senate has not seen the light.

    Act now! Please communicate your objections to ferry taxes to the key decision makers listed below. Call or email. As always, be firm but polite. Key decision makers in the NC Senate must be contacted immediately:

Resolution in Defense of the State of Texas, and their People's Sovereign Right to Defend its Southern Border

I reckon one could always argue that ignorance rests in the eyes of the beholder, but, I'm not taking that bet ... not in these Orwellian times, when so few of our fellow travelers know so little of what is real, and far too much of what otherwise might be terminally fake.
