Immediate Action Needed in North Carolina.
ALIPAC Activists,
I will be marching into the General Assembly TODAY with a flier for the legislators containing the news listed below. I plan to lobby like no one has ever lobbied before!
How can they sit there and take no action while our counties and cities rise to the challenge all around them? How can Democrat leaders Marc Basnight (Senate) and Jim Black (House) sit on top of bills in the rules committee while more and more North Carolinians lose their lives due to the inaction of these politicians?
Here is what we need you to do.
Many of you remember our campaign six months ago to distribute information to local city officials, members of Congress, Sheriff Departments, and city police departments.
This campaign is similar.
Action Item 1: Contact NC Congressional Delegation.
Please contact the following members of the US House and Senate and tell them you want to see the efforts Congressman Charles Taylor and Congresswoman Sue Myrick are launching taking place in their district. We must work together to make sure that each of these elected officials and their DC Staff and District Staff know about the actions of Congressman Taylor in Western NC. If we all work together, it is certain that other lawmakers will follow suit in NC.
1-A: Call Charles Taylor and thank him and tell him you are asking the other members of the NC Delegation to follow his lead.
1-B: Call and e-mail all DC and District offices for the others asking them to join Taylor's efforts. Send them copies of these articles as well. Some of you may want to get your fax machines out.
Here are the details:

Action Item 2:
We need to reinforce this effort on the County level. Let's start by locating all of the County Commissioners and Sheriff Departments in these Counties. Let's call them and encourage them. Then, let's carry the message to the other 89 counties! This will be a big job and everyone needs to work together. Please post which counties you can cover here in this thread.
2-A: Call and e-mail the 8 county commissions and sheriff departments thanking them. You can point out that you are working to get more counties involved.
2-B: Carry the message about these 8 counties with your support language to the other 92 counties.
Here is the link to the information you will need to Call and email the Sheriffs and County Commissioners.

Action Item 3
We need to alert the other City Council Members and Town Board Members across the state to the actions of Councilman Carl Mumpower in Asheville. Here are the details on his initiative.

We need to get this article into their hands via fax and e-mail and we need to encourage them to take action.
Here is a Google list for starters.

THIS EFFORT IS NEEDED BECAUSE THE POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT AROUND THE NC GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS GETTING HOTTER ON THIS ISSUE. YOU SHOULD INCLUDE LANGUAGE IN YOUR COMMUNICATIONS THAT INDICATE THE PEOPLE IN RALEIGH NEED TO TAKE ACTION TOO!
REMEMBER TO CALL, CALL, CALL. THE E-MAILS ARE VERY IMPORTANT BUT CALLS ARE 5 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE. WE NEED YOU TO DO BOTH.
IF YOU CAN HELP US GET THIS PLAN ROLLING TUESDAY - THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK WHILE I AM IN THE HALLWAYS OF THE LEGISLATURE SHOWING THEM WHAT THE REST OF THE STATE IS DOING WE CAN DIRECT OUR ENERGIES AT WEEKS END BACK ON THE LEGISLATURE.
This is building pressure from the ground and the grass roots up.
It is a lot of work and I hope you are ready to really wade into this battle hard this week. The new developments are encouraging.
Also, Congresswoman Sue Myrick is pushing hard for the immigration court we need in Charlotte.

Please post your questions and progress reports here in this thread.
Thank you for your help. It really boosts my moral to know you will be fighting hard while I'm in the hallways today stirring things up door to door and face to face.
