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.

    For Immediate Release:

    Raleigh, NC     Governor Pat McCrory has requested the Office of State Budget and Management suspend dispersement of state grant money to the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center immediately. The governor also directed the Rural Center to stop spending public funds until it provides corrective action in light of the recent audit.

    State Budget Director Art Pope sent a letter today outlining the governor's concerns to the Rural Center's Senior Vice President as well as legislative leaders.

    Although it is a positive step for the Center's President Billy Ray Hall to resign, Governor McCrory suggests the Center's entire board review the audit and the Center's response. The state auditor said the Rural Center's response was "misleading."

    If the Rural Center does not comply with the law immediately, the governor requests OSBM recover the public money held by the Center to ensure the funds are used for the original purpose of serving rural North Carolina.
