  • If you want to begin to heal the fracture between the GOP and the grassroots, vote for Jim Womack for NCGOP Chair.

    It is my understanding that the NCGOP will be voting for a new NCGOP Chair next Tuesday, March 26, 2024, at the NCGOP Committee Meeting. I am urging you to please vote for Jim Womack.  You know Jim because he has worked diligently and successfully with the NC General Assembly to get election integrity legislation passed in S747 that addresses transparency, accountability, and citizen oversight in our elections. As GOP Chair of Lee County, Jim also far outperforms any of the other one hundred counties for fundraising each year.  (His resume in the private sector attests to his success.) The GOP is sucking on fumes because there is little faith in the honesty and integrity of the GOP leaders who don’t hold their elected officials accountable to the Republican Party platform and demonize their activists because they do. These grassroots patriots also have little regard for a Party that dismisses the stellar work of the North Carolina Election Integrity Team’s (NCEIT) efforts as ‘the other party’ when Jim has led the way to make it easy to vote but hard to cheat. NCGOP has done nothing to improve our election laws but takes great delight to take credit for NCEIT’s hard work. These patriots feel disenfranchised and cheated.  The rigging of votes in the past conventions and anointing of establishment hacks adds to the glaring pile of disillusionment.  Will it be any different this time? Unlike the NCGOP, Jim Womack as CEO of the North Carolina Election Integrity Team (NCEIT), has presented an annual legislative agenda to the General Assembly by attending meetings, giving testimony and motivating activists across the state to lobby. Last but not least, Jim has a huge following of grassroots voters who have either walked away from the local GOP or become unaffiliated voters, the largest block of voters in NC.  Want to begin to restore their faith? Jim Womack is THE Grassroots Conservative leader in this state. If you want to continue disenfranchising conservatives who are the activist wing of the Republican party, vote for the other guy. The GOP will continue to hemorrhage supporters. Guaranteed.  If you want to begin to heal the fracture between the GOP and the grassroots, vote for Jim Womack. If you want to work hand-in-glove with the true activists who will work with you to assure that we have free and fair elections and to continue to make North Carolina the model of election integrity in NC and across this nation, please vote for Jim Womack.  We need a great change.

  • Supreme Court Ruling on Ilegal Invasion in TX is a Boon For All Of Us!

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/supreme-court-texas-ruling-should-be-wake-up-call-for-biden-on-immigration-opinion/ar-BB1kfhnb The Supreme Court decision allowing Texas to enforce its new immigration law, allowing state officials to detain migrants who enter Texas without authorization, is clearly an important ruling that is to be applauded nationwide. As a response, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday that "we fundamentally disagree" with the ruling. Under his immigration proposal of January 20, 2021, Biden would create an eight-year path to citizenship for the nation's estimated tens of millions of unauthorized immigrants. Perhaps that explains why no Senate Democrats voted for Senator Bill Hagerty's (R-Tenn.) Equal Representation Act, a piece of legislation intended to ensure that only legal citizens are counted when tabulating the size of congressional districts and the Electoral College map that determines presidential elections. It is hard not to see the political agenda behind the three years of silence from the White House on the millions of migrants coming through our southern border, an issue that will be crucial to deciding the 2024 elections. All this was unimaginable just a few years ago. Another Venezuelan man who entered the U.S. illegally was charged with the murder of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student found dead on the campus of the University of Georgia last month. A Guatemalan illegal alien was convicted of sexually assaulting a child and rearrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after he was released by a Massachusetts Court. Last December, another "undocumented male subject" murdered a Texas high school cheerleader. An illegal immigrant from Mexico killed a Washington state patrol trooper earlier this month. And the list goes on and on. To be clear, the U.S. needs more immigrants—legal immigrants, especially high-skilled foreign workers. Our annual H-1B visas account for roughly 22 percent of all temporary visas, at 65,000 visas approved each year and an extra 20,000 for the cap. These numbers should increase. Typically, over 200,000 applicants seek H-1B visas every year. Under the current annual quota, only about 40 percent are accepted, so foreign-born skilled workers may give up applying and seek other countries to work in and contribute to. We are at risk of losing the international brainpower that will help ensure our country continues to lead technological progress globally. We need to expand legal immigration, yet we allow millions to enter the country illegally, most of whom are barely skilled and some of whom have criminal records and should not be permitted under any circumstances. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services needs more funding to cope with processing legal immigrants, including working permit applicants. Diverting funds to process illegal migrants while hundreds of thousands of applicants wait for their papers to be processed in our daunting, years-long (and pretty much broken) immigration process is not only unfair, but unacceptable. Some people, like the man who murdered Laken Riley, simply should not be here. Period. Reinstituting the "Remain in Mexico" policy is one action the administration should take immediately to stop the flow of illegals. The intended purpose of asylum—protection from arrest and extradition given especially to political refugees—must be a guiding policy for all asylum seekers. People living in Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado—states far from the southern border—are now identifying illegal migration as a key issue for the 2024 election. And with heinous crime raising throughout our nation, rightly so. Dr. Sasha Toperich is senior executive vice president of the Transatlantic Leadership Network. From 2013 to 2018, he was a senior fellow and director of the Mediterranean Basin, Middle East, and Gulf initiative at the Center for Transatlantic Relations, at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C. The views expressed in this article are the writer's own.

  • Lobby NC NC House for Election Law Changes: July 17th 31st

    The Senate Redistricting & Elections Committee has updated the Omnibus Election Bill S 747 but it still does not include Poll Observers or Cast Vote Records.

So, while we have more time, we're still going to run out of it to accomplish meaningful election law reform. That's why we need you to pick up the phone to continue to call. If you can get to Raleigh, please do to lobby in person. This is where the rubber meets the road!

  • Conservatives Win Triple-Header in One of America’s Bluest States

    It has been 40 years since a Republican presidential candidate won Washington state. Today, Democrats enjoy a “trifecta” there, controlling the governorship and both chambers of the Washington State Legislature. But despite Democrats’ firm grip on state government, conservatives just scored their own “trifecta” victory in the deep-blue stronghold. The conservative grassroots organization Let’s Go Washington collected 2.6 million signatures across the state on six ballot initiatives, which amounts to over 420,000 signatures per measure. In early March, under pressure to act on the Republ ican-backed ballot initiatives, the Washington State Legislature enacted three of the six measures after holding hearings. The three measures, which become law within the next 90 days, will: Remove restrictions on reasonable police pursuits. Give parents the right to examine their children’s classroom curriculum, books, and other materials, and grant parents the right to see their children’s school records. Bar the state, counties, cities, or other jurisdictions from implementing a general income tax.

  • RNC Chair Says Americans Are Better off Under Biden Than Under Trump

    " ... In an accidental moment of truth, newly appointed Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Whatley appeared to undermine the Republican case for Donald Trump’s reelection. Whatley posed a straightforward question: 'Were you better off four years ago than you are today?' However, his response diverged from the expected Republican narrative. 'The answer for this entire country is no,' he stated. Whatley attempted to correct himself but inadvertently again admitted that the country is better off under President Biden when he said, 'I mean, yeah, we are better off today.'
