There will be a Tax Day Tea Party event in Raleigh on April 15th at the State Capitol grounds from 5:00pm to 7:30pm.

More to follow, but make plans to attend. Our government officials need to hear from us.

Triangle Conservatives Unite is the main sponsor.

Concerned Citizens and Immigration Reformers,

The full NC House voted today on House Bill 33 to deny the use of the Mexican Matricula Consular card as an official ID card in North Carolina. IT PASSED. Wonderful. Now it goes to the NC Senate.

The reality is that without a Republican majority, it would not have passed. The bills we pressed for in the past eight years were rarely allowed to be voted upon in committee when the Democrats were in charge. I am not trying to make a partisan comment, it’s just simply a fact. Now of course, time will tell if the Republican majority actually moves this bill to final passage, among other legislation we are pressing to move forward. I will keep you informed so you will know what our NC General Assembly is doing.

MORE LEGISLATION IS ON THE WAY. I will need your help as we move forward in this process. More to follow.

Regards,

Ron Woodard

U.S. Senator Kay Hagan from North Carolina appears to be non-committal on her stance on the Dream Act.  The so-called Dream Act will allow illegal immigrants into our Colleges and Universities with in-state tuition and has appeared again in the US Congress, and the Democrats are also pushing to give them an amnesty as well as long as they graduate high school.  It gets worse, as the amnesty would also reward these illegals with access to student loan programs, and when they turn 21 they can sponsor their illegal parents for U.S. citizenship.  The (bad) Dream Act amnesty clause may apply to illegals up to 35 years of age.

Of course this would be a BAD DREAM for Americans.  College is a selection process, so every illegal immigrant allowed into our colleges is one for one less American citizen enrolling in college.  The amnesty with all of its benefits is an even bigger insult.

TAKE THIS ACTION:

Tell Sen Kay Hagan and your member of the U.S House to VOTE NO ON THE DREAM ACT AND VOTE NO FOR ANY AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS [if illegals do not have to go back to their native country and get in the back of the line there, it's an amnesty].

Emails are not often read, so please CALL.

Call your member of the U.S House.  If you don’t know, go to:  http://www.house.gov [look at the upper left corner of the webpage and enter your Zip Code and then click GO].

If we don’t take action, the other side wins.  The Dream Act and Amnesty may be voted on any day now.  Take action now to stop it as we did before.

Thanks,

Ron Woodard

TAKE ACTION BELOW !

The so-called Dream Act to allow illegal immigrants into our Colleges and Universities with in-state tuition has appeared again in the US Congress, and the Democrats are also pushing to give them an amnesty as well as long as they graduate high school. It gets worse, as the amnesty would also reward these illegals with access to student loan programs, and when they turn 21 they can sponsor their illegal parents for U.S. citizenship.

Of course this would be a BAD DREAM for Americans. College is a selection process, so every illegal immigrant allowed into our colleges is one for one less American citizen enrolling in college. The amnesty with all of its benefits is an even bigger insult.

TAKE THIS ACTION:

Let’s focus as follows — tell Sen Kay Hagan and your member of the U.S House to VOTE NO ON THE DREAM ACT AND VOTE NO FOR ANY AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS [if illegals do not have to go back to their native country and get in the back of the line there, it's an amnesty].

Call: U.S. Senator Kay Hagan (877) 852-9462 at her Greensboro office or (202) 224-6342 at her Washington, DC office

If we don’t take action, the other side wins. The Dream Act and Amnesty may be voted on as early as next Monday. Take action now to stop it as we did before.

The below is a grade for members of Congress from districts in North Carolina who voted on immigration-related legislation. Grades for our two U.S. Senators are also included. Grades are similar to school, with an A being great and an F being miserable. These grades are an accurate account of their voting records in relation to what NC LISTEN believes would meet our mission statement and sensible immigration reforms. In addition we give comments on the opponent of each member of Congress, based on their views, website, and issue statements.

NC LISTEN does not endorse candidates, as we believe this is the choice and responsibility of each voter. Our intent is to provide info so voters can be informed on candidate positions.

Congressman B.K. Butterfield (Democrat) has a voting record grade of D-.

Ashley Woolard is his opponent and he supports real immigration enforcement measures to include building a border fence, the requirement of E-Verify, support for 287g and repeal of automatic birthright citizenship for those born in the USA to illegal immigrant parents.

Congressman Bob Etheridge (Democrat) has a voting record grade of D.

Renee Elmers is his opponent and she opposes an amnesty for illegal immigrants, wants to really control our borders, and supports E-Verify.
