In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?

20% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.

80% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.

0% I thought we had to shut down Free Speech we don't like to save our "democracy," so I am totally confused now.

Press Release:

When Governor McCrory Was Elected:

North Carolina had an unemployment rate of 8.8%, the 5th highest in the nation.
77 of our 100 counties had unemployment rates over 10%,
There was $2.54 billion in unemployment insurance debt to be paid to the federal government.

Today, Under Governor McCrory's Leadership:

Our unemployment rate is at 5.5%, the lowest it's been in more than half a decade and ahead of South Carolina and Tennessee.
- North Carolina added more than 15,000 jobs last month, experiencing the second largest drop in unemployment over the month in the country.
- Nearly 200,000 more North Carolinians are earning a paycheck than in January of 2013.
Only 2 of our 100 counties have an unemployment rate over 10%.
Unemployment insurance debt is below $500 million for the first time since the recession and we are scheduled to pay it off 3 years ahead of schedule. This saved North Carolina employers $180 million in 2014. The unemployment debt had been as high as $2.6 billion.

Tax Reform:

When Governor McCrory was elected, North Carolina had the highest tax rates in the southeast.
Now, we have a plan that lowers income tax rates and reduces taxes for North Carolina working families.
The Personal Income Tax and Corporate Income Tax both were lowered making North Carolina more competitive.

Continuing the Progress:

We will pass "NC Competes" job recruitment proposals that:
- Help create long-term, sustainable jobs and attract investment
- Encourage mid and large scale manufacturing
- Leverage our university research advantage to attract new venture capital
- Recognize the importance of all regions in our state with emphasis on areas of high unemployment
We will pass the Historic Preservation Tax Credit to help revitalize our main streets and town centers.
