Congrats N.C. Liberals, your change has arrived!

Congratulations N.C. Liberals, you voted for change across the board, and now you have gotten it. The N.C. House has Okayed the new budget and is sending it on to the State Senate for approval. We on the right get, but you on the left continue to stick your head in the sand when you vote for these guys. Let’s break it down for you. They have approved a budget over $18 Billion dollars, with $780 million in new taxes. $3 Billion in program cuts. I already hear the voices from the left, “it’s ok, their just taxing the ultra rich, their cutting pork programs, we believe”. Wake up and smell crap pile liberals of North Carolina, the new taxes affect almost everyone rich and poor. All universities will raise tuition, the state sales tax, for all of us will be raised, oh and it’s now applied to other things, such as digital downloads, and all of the LLC companies will now be taxed. I guess we will see the unemployment go up as they close their doors. If that doesn’t bother you, then maybe the program’s they are cutting will. The budget calls for more teacher cuts, that meens they lose their jobs. Hey bigger classrooms is better for the kids right? They are cutting social service programs. We already have an overloaded SS program, trying to keep up with so many families and kids, but hey it’s ok right liberals. We can sacrifice a few kids to make a budget. Now if change is what you believed in, then get ready, because they are also cutting all state financial aid. Sorry recent grads, if you can’t come up with the money for college, you’ll just have to go out and get a job….”good luck from the dems on that one”. Now this particular one is for you parents of the left persuasion. The dems want to cut early childhood programs. That’s not just for the rich, but for the middle class and the poor as well. The one that affects us all, no matter what status we have is Prisons. We just can’t afford to keep the men and women who are convicted of crimes in prisons, so we’re going to let them out. That’s right early parole, hope you don’t mind. Now to be fare, here are just a few programs and $$ that were not cut from the budget. $13.1 million to public television programming. $19.5 million to a Kannapolis research facility. $2.3 million to the UNC President personal slush fund. $2.3 million to the NC Symphony. $492 thousand to a furniture manufacturing and management facility. One of my personal favorites is $563 thousand to an ergonomics center at NCSU. So just the tip of the iceberg of this pork spending is around $43.6 Million dollars. I don’t think I need to make my case any further, but contact your elected officials and ask them why?
Pass this on to your friends, especially those who are teachers, police officers, firemen.

NC Dem's want to add another 1 Billion in Taxes

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Hold on to your wallets and purses. The NC Dem's want to add an additional 1 BILLION dollars in taxes. Oh and they are taking a page out of the US Dem's and not letting anybody see it until about an hour before they vote for it. Stand up and fight against this type of reckless taxation. They have proved time and time again that they do not care for the average NC Citizen, by imposing such tax hikes. They also have eliminated the gas tax cap, which opens it up for another 68 million in gas tax hikes. My friends, neither party has the answers to everything, but is increasing how much we are taxed really the answer? We are moving dangerously closer to a socialist state where the government can tax any and everything to suit their needs. In this budget they also call for another 1000 teachers to be let go. Have they looked to cut their own salaries to help the people they were elected by? I encourage you to send them all emails, phone calls, letters, smoke signals, whatever to let them no that you will not sit quietlly by and let this happen. Join the Tea Parties, your local political groups and start making a difference today. I have included emails for you to copy, paste and let them know that you do care.

Got an extra 8 Million lying around?

How do you feel about spending $8,000,000.00 for a study on a street car? You actually won’t get the street car; you will get a bunch of diagrams and a nice power point presentation on how it would work. Did I mention it will span about 10 miles. That’s right citizens of Charlotte, NC the city council has approved in their budget, by an All Democrat vote for it and All Republican vote against, for this study. Mayoral Candidate, Anthony Fox said the study would help determine how much it would cost. So let me see, we will spend eight million tax dollars to find out how much it would cost to have a street car in Charlotte that goes 10 miles from east to west. Again Democrat Anthony Fox said it would be a growth strategy for the Charlotte area. Mr. Fox, you are telling me that you believe a street car that goes back in forth through the Queen City would promote growth? Seriously, what business would move here because of a trolley? But wait folks, it does get better. You see we already know that the project would cost an estimated 373 million dollars, again of tax payer’s money, to be completed. That’s only 37,300,000 dollars per mile. Why would the democrats want to spend an additional eight million dollars if we already have an estimated cost? It’s simple; they do not value you or the money you work hard for. To further explain that comment, the city council has voted for a 15% increase in the cost for water and a 5% increase in storm water rates. You remember when they asked us to cut back because of the water shortage, well we did, and now they are not so happy we are so green.
So if you think that Mr. Fox is here for you, then you have another thing coming. He obviously does not care about you or how the economy is affecting you. He’s the one pushing for a street car named “ridiculous” and agrees that a hike in water rates is necessary since you’ve done such a great job in conserving during a drought. Hey city council, how about spending the eight million on the school system or paving our roads?
ON a separate note, to all the teachers out there in North Carolina, The House Democrats in Raleigh are planning on proposing a budget that would cut the education spending by 12%. That means that about thousands of teachers would lose their jobs in the 2010 year. I have many friends that are teachers and most of them liberals and this question will be directed to you. To my liberal friends, is this the change you wanted? You are losing your jobs, and the state still wants to spend more money. I will leave you with one quote today my friends.
It's not tyranny we desire; it's a just, limited, federal government.Alexander Hamilton

Are you Proud to be a Republican?

Are you Proud to be a Republican?

Are you proud to be a member of the Republican Party? I know it is a strange question to ask, but it’s one that is worth asking. It seems that many people think the word, Republican, to be dirty or a word that is spoken in disgust. It also seems that many Republican themselves are scared to say that they are a member of, or that they are affiliated with the GOP. Why? Are they afraid they won’t get the support from the masses if they admit it? Are they afraid that they will be shunned by their friends or co-workers if they say they are a Republican? I can’t answer these questions, only ask them, well ask you them. You see, I am a Republican, and I am proud of it. I am not a racist because I’m a Republican. I am not a member of the economic elite because I’m a Republican. I am not a terrorist because I’m a Republican. I am a Republican because I believe in small government. I am a Republican because I believe that it is the right for every American Citizen to earn the American dream. I am a Republican because I believe the United States is the land of opportunity and freedom, and all opportunity and all freedom, is worth fighting for.
As a member of the Republican Party, I am privileged to be associated with a great political heritage. One that began with a dream to abolish slavery, because all men were created equal and should be treated so. Abraham Lincoln believed in that, and he was a great Republican. The GOP went on to play a leading role in the civil rights era, again fighting for the rights of all Americans, women and men, of all colors, to be treated equal. One Republican, Martin Luther King Jr., helped win that fight. After years of economic turmoil, it was a Republican president by the name of Ronald Regan, who brought back America from that near disaster. You see my friends we have a long wonderful history to be proud of, not ashamed of. So the next time you’re asked, who did you vote for? Are you a Republican? How do you feel about the current left wing administration’s policies? What are you going to say? I know what I will say! I voted for a Republican! I am proud to be a Republican! I am a Republican and I believe that the current administration is ruining America and the American Dream!
So, in conclusion, the next time you’re asked the questions above or asked who supports your group, or what affiliation you are? Tell them you are a member of the Republican Party.
