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?

22.22% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.

77.78% 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:

    Raleigh, NC - The NC Department of Administration's Division of Purchase & Contract (P&C) will host a graduation ceremony today, June 21, honoring state employees who've achieved certification through the NC Procurement Academy from 2020 to 2022. From 9 to 11 a.m., 80 procurement professionals from North Carolina state and local government agencies, community colleges and universities will gather at the Museum of History's Daniels Auditorium to receive certificates of achievement for their completion of the Academy's North Carolina Contract Manager and North Carolina Purchaser programs.

    "It is my absolute pleasure to honor these individuals who with hard work and dedication met their certification goal," said NC Department of Administration Secretary Pamela B. Cashwell. "Our Academy's ongoing mission is to elevate North Carolina as a leader in the procurement of state goods and services by offering annual professional development opportunities to state procurement officials across the state."

    The ceremony will feature remarks from DOA Secretary Cashwell, DOA Division of Purchase & Contract State Purchasing Officer David O'Neal, and National Contract Management Association CEO Kraig Conrad among others. Mandated by North Carolina General Statute, the North Carolina Contract Manager program officially launched in the fall of 2019, providing state employees key training and best practices on contract administration and negotiation strategies. Launched in 2022, the North Carolina Purchaser program is the latest addition to the Procurement Academy, providing state employees a platform to attain in-depth knowledge on procurement and solicitation strategies.

    Both programs are free and require the passing of a final exam to achieve certification. To learn more about the Division of Purchase & Contact, visit the website.
