ReOpen NC to Hold Rally in Raleigh Today

Latest Polls (view all)

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:

Congressman Dan Bishop issued the following press release:

Charlotte, N.C. - Congressman Bishop made the following statement:

Last Tuesday, over 100 North Carolinians from across our state gathered in Raleigh to protest overreaching shutdown orders that limit our freedom. The protestors peaceably assembled and petitioned to reopen North Carolina and let our state and our lives start getting back to normal.

The Police Department responded by arresting one of the protesters and then sent out a Tweet saying protesting is a "non-essential" activity.

The First Amendment of our Constitution's Bill of Rights clearly states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Congressman Bishop firmly believes whether you support or oppose these shutdown orders, denying protestors the right to assemble and petition their government is an egregious, intolerable violation of Constitutional Rights. He plans to join the protest next Tuesday at 11am in downtown Raleigh in support of constitutional rights and encourages others to join him - while practicing safe social distancing. After the protest he will deliver copies of the United States Constitution to Raleigh City government office for the Police Chief, Mayor and City Council.

Bishop issued the following statement:

When we are emptying our jails of convicted criminals and filling them with protestors, when we are selling copious amounts of liquor from state-owned ABC stores yet banning churches from meeting, and when we are denying the press and public access to information government officials are using to make decisions, it is time to protest. We cannot allow the First Amendment to our Constitution to become this virus's next victim. It is time we all stand up for our First Amendment rights guaranteeing free speech, a free press, freedom to practice religion, and our freedom to assemble and petition our government for redress of grievances. I encourage others to join me doing that Tuesday morning at 11 in front of the Governor's Mansion - while practicing safe social distancing.

    Commentary

    Kudos to Rep. Bishop. We would have expected nothing less from him. Let's hope his example will be followed by many. While we doubt the Governor is responsive enough for this to make any difference, we hope many citizens will attend. We would hope Governor Cooper does not spend too much time on this, rather that he is figuring out how to get the Employment Security to get its act together and get the checks out o people. We know people who have had no income since Cooper pulled the rug out from under them with his Shutdown order. What a mess!

Ten Years (now 24 years later) After 9/11: a Recollection, a Time to Remember

It was a clear beautiful, royal blue sky day on Wall Street. The S & P futures were up markedly, awaiting a positive open, as I turn to get my first cup of coffee. I return to CNBC to get the morning business news, when I notice that the S & P futures are falling, and they're falling fast.
