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:

Remarks will advocate for an Atlantic lease sale in the next offshore oil and gas leasing program

Raleigh, N.C. — Governor Pat McCrory will testify before the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee Energy and Mineral Land Resources Subcommittee hearing titled "Examining the Future Impacts of President Obama's Offshore Energy Plan" on Wednesday.

"Harnessing America's offshore energy reserves in an environmentally safe and responsible manner will lead to greater energy independence and economic prosperity for North Carolina and the entire nation," said Governor McCrory. "It is a great honor to speak on behalf of the great State of North Carolina on this important issue."

Governor McCrory's testimony will convey his support for the inclusion of at least one lease sale in the Mid and South Atlantic in the next Five-Year Program for offshore oil and gas leasing, exploration and development. Opening the Atlantic to energy production is part of the all-of-the-above energy platform McCrory campaigned on as a candidate and has continued to pursue as governor.

Governor McCrory is working closely with the federal government, other coastal governors, local elected officials and residents to determine how to advance responsible offshore energy exploration in a way that protects our coastal resources, mitigates use conflicts, creates jobs and improves the economy. McCrory believes equitable revenue sharing with coastal energy states is a necessary component of responsible offshore energy development. He currently serves as Chairman of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Governors Coalition, a bipartisan group of coastal governors that promotes constructive dialogue on offshore energy resource planning and development between state and the federal governments.
