NC Voters - Take Action!

“The first American Revolution had to be fought with guns and lives because they had no recourse before a tyrannical king. Our war is different. We have recourse, that is, our vote. We can affect the course of our future and regain our freedoms by participating in the system our forefathers secured with their blood.”
Stiles J. Watson, Why You Should Vote for Michael Peroutka

The following is from the desk of webmaster@constitutionpartync.com

Forward this to anyone you know that may support it.

House Bill 88 (Electoral Fairness). Two years ago House Bill 867 was introduced, which would have lowered the petition requirements for ballot access from 2% of voters in the last gubernatorial election to .5%, and would have lowered the threshold for maintaining ballot access from 10% to 2%. Though it passed committee, the co-speakers in the Legislature denied it a vote. The bill has been reintroduced as House Bill 88 and has already passed committee.

The state Representative who introduced House Bill 88 (the one that will reduce our signature requirement from 69,000 to 17,500 to get on state ballots) says if we want this bill heard this year, we need to pressure the Finance Committee to move on it.

Paul Luebke is the sponsor and one of the Finance chairs. He suggests writing the other five co-chairs of the Finance Committee and asking that they hear House Bill 88.
