On Wednesday, The Daily Haymaker<\/a> posted a list of some of the bills that had been vetoed by Governor Cooper that had those vetoes overridden by the North Carolina legislature. The vetoes were overturned as a result of public pressure on the legislators. This is a reminder of the importance of making your voice heard.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Raleigh insiders tell me the real story from today\u2019s veto override bonanza was the intense public pressure. \u00a0Several of the vetoed bills, including:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

were slated for legislative euthanasia, but were revived by intense public pressure. \u00a0Plenty of folks with votes on the floor got one hell of an earful.\u00a0 If not for the public pressure, these bills would have stayed vetoed. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Far too many people believe that having the right letter (R or D) next to your name means you can be trusted to do the \u201cright thing.\u201d \u00a0WRONG<\/span>.\u00a0 Far too often, deep-pocketed special interests overrule our interests on some very important state policy decisions. \u00a0Far too often, all that cash wins the day. \u00a0These people are supposed to be OUR<\/span> representatives. \u00a0Not the \u201crepresentative\u201d of their favorite well-paying lobbyist.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The lesson here? \u00a0Stay on these people like you stay behind your own children.<\/span> \u00a0We \u2014 and several others in the blogosphere and other parts of social media \u2014 do our best to keep you informed on key issues. \u00a0Stay informed, talk to your friends, and especially talk to the folks who show up on your ballot every two years purportedly<\/span> to represent you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s truly a shame that common sense stuff like this takes so much work to get done.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pat yourselves on the back, folks. \u00a0Job well done. \u00a0But it\u2019s far from over. \u00a0There is a lot of work left to do to save our state and our country. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please get involved. Your country needs you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
