As I've been speaking with voters, I've been sharing my vision for North Carolina; a healthy economy, small business growth and job creation, improving education, getting tough on crime and restoring honesty and integrity to state government and our elections process.
Just wanted to let folks know that there will be a "Restore The Constitution Rally" at Guilford Courthouse Battleground Park in Greensboro on August 14th from 1PM to 4PM.
THIS WILL BE AN OPEN CARRY EVENT IF YOU WISH TO DO SO. It is not required to do so, if you wish, just bring yourself.
They ask that all rifle mags be in a pocket or pouch with the rifle slung with the barrel down.
But you may have a loaded mag on your person if you wish.
Sidearms may be loaded. Since this is a National Park, it has been cleared.
Several calls have been made to the Park Rangers and they have confirmed this.
I can understand some folks hesitance to participate, but I think it would be a fine showing of what decent hard working gun owning folks are all about. But please folks: If you do choose to open carry either a handgun or rifle, for the love of God, use a little discretion. Let's show those who might be watching that we are level headed, peaceful folks who simply support out 2nd Amendment and our fundemental right to Keep And Bear Arms.

An American Majority Activist Training will be conducted on Sunday, August 29th in Concord, NC to provide citizens with the tools necessary to become effective activists. Topics covered during the training include hardwiring precincts, understanding the political system we face, building effective coalitions, using new media tools to engage voters and build movements, and more. Activists, candidates, and campaign volunteers are encouraged to attend this training.
Glen Bradley, Constitutional Conservative and Independence Caucus endorsed candidate for NC House District 49, has taken the lead against his incumbent Democrat opponent according to a poll conducted by Public Policy Polling! According to the poll results, Glen Bradley has a commanding lead of 43% to his Democrat opponent's 35% at this early stage in the campaign.
While these results are heartening to Constitution loving patriots across our Great State, the election is still three months away, and Glen Bradley needs our help to keep the pressure up on his opponent in the 49th House District. It is unlikely that the statists in Raleigh will let this seat go without a fight. Please visit GlenBradley.net to volunteer your time to canvass neighborhoods in the 49th House District or to donate to the cause of Restoring Constitutional Order.

For Immediate Release:
StrengthenCharlotte Completes 4 Month Streetcar Awareness Campaign
Nonpartisan group re-releases stance and encourages community to voice concerns one final time to the Council on Monday, July 26, 2010, urging the Council to turn down the Streetcar grant for city of Charlotte
Today, StrengthenCharlotte announced the completion of its 4-month-long awareness campaign, and re-released its formal opinion on the Streetcar project undertaken by the Charlotte City Council. “We started with a structured internal debate where all points of view were valued equally before we came to our conclusion,” said President and Founder Tariq Scott Bokhari.
“Our dedicated committees have spent the last 4 months trying to raise awareness on the Streetcar project and spread the results of our debate. StrengthenCharlotte has encouraged all citizens to call or email their personal opinions and concerns related to the Streetcar to City Council members,” said City Council Co-Chair Ben Lassiter.
StrengthenCharlotte features subcommittees, each tasked with a local board to follow, debate, and hold accountable on local issues. Committee representatives regularly attend the meetings of the boards and report on the board’s activities to their full committees, as well as continuing to work in the Charlotte community to promote the work of StrengthenCharlotte.
The Streetcar Grant - The Executive Summary
While understanding the critical needs of these areas of our city, StrengthenCharlotte does not support the plan to accept the $25MM federal grant and spend $12MM of local money to build a leg of the Streetcar ahead of schedule. StrengthenCharlotte feels there are opportunities for better projects that will have substantially more impact to the city.
StrengthenCharlotte came to this conclusion through a comprehensive debate focused on only the facts and relevant details regarding the Streetcar project. For extensive detail on the facts and debate of the City Council Committee on the Streetcar issue, see the StrengthenCharlotte website at www.strengthencharlotte.com.
StrengthenCharlotte acknowledges that the Federal Grant will pay for part of this project, but determined that the $12 Million is too large a sum for the City of Charlotte to pay during these tough economic times. We believe that the $12 Million could be used more effectively if it were used to complete current projects undertaken by the City Council or to accommodate more pressing needs in the Streetcar area such as crime, roads, and sidewalks. StrengthenCharlotte feels this would improve the job environment and promote economic development. Further, the group believes that the current unknown elements of the annual operating cost will cut other important areas of the city budget while jeopardizing the current City Transportation Plan that will affect North and Northeast rail line funding.
Finally, StrengthenCharlotte is willing to supply those interested with talking points and facts to take to Monday’s meeting when the City Council will vote on whether to accept the grant from the federal government.
