In fact, when a resolution came before the Craven County Board of Commissioners in June of 2019 expressing legislative support for the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (HB 602\/SB 359), she voted AGAINST the resolution, siding with Democrat Commissioners McCabe and Sampson. At the time, she indicated that she did not think abortion policy was a county issue! Life knows no jurisdictional boundaries. Additionally, she stated publicly that \u201cshe is against the state interfering with personal medical decisions and thinks this opens a very slippery slope by setting a precedence.\u201d That position is very curious given her other positions on mandatory experimental shots for active duty military personnel described below.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"textLayer\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2022SHE SUPPORTS MANDATORY EXPERIMENTAL COVID-19 SHOTS FOR ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL, DENYING THEM RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. ET served as a Naval officer and reportedly took all of her required vaccines at the time. She thinks all active duty military personnel should do the same. However, in the past, active duty military were permitted to request religious exemptions which were routinely allowed. No such exemptions are being allowed with these unapproved vaccines. Our active duty military personnel take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. They put their lives on the line daily in carrying out that oath. Yet, ET believes those same patriots are not entitled to exercise their own religious freedom under the First Amendment. When Commissioner Jones brought a strong anti-mandate resolution before the Board in February, ET pushed to water that resolution down \u2014 she did not want local, state or federal governmental entities revisiting existing mandates like the one in place for our military. She clearly supports the Biden-Cooper mandates.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"textLayer\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2022SHE OPPOSES SCHOOL CHOICE. When this issue was raised recently at the Craven County Republican Men\u2019s Club meeting in March, ET stated she opposed school choice, because our school system would lose too much funding. Obviously, there are few ways to force change in our school systems, and school choice is one of those ways. Parents who pay taxes should be able to take their educational dollars and use them elsewhere. We know that school systems do respond to decreased funding. <\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"textLayer\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2022SHE CLAIMS SHE \u201cVOTED TO KEEP CRT OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS.\u201d Yes, she supported a non-binding resolution endorsing this concept. However, westill have CRT in our schools under a different name \u2014 it is called Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and is part of the state curriculum. If she wants to actually keep CRT out of schools, she needs to withhold funding from the Craven County Board of Education until they comply with the spirit of the resolution she supported.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"endOfContent\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>If the ET Mitchell campaign would like to respond to these statements, I will gladly print their response.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"njsxSjojhQEKONZAPHKO TiApUvaZOn0aLkSUHRf7 allowTextSelection\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Message body\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"rps_ac8c\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"x_ydpbfb1d0c9yiv6865175585yqt19387\" class=\"x_ydpbfb1d0c9yiv6865175585yqt5532539829\">\n<div id=\"x_ydpbfb1d0c9yiv6865175585ydp991ca249yahoo_quoted_1561950970\" class=\"x_ydpbfb1d0c9yiv6865175585ydp991ca249yahoo_quoted\">\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"x_ydpbfb1d0c9yiv6865175585ydp991ca249yiv2014868414\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"lpc__immersive__container\" class=\"lpc_ip_root_class\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I received this in my email from a Craven County voter.
