To: The North Carolina State House and Governor Roy Cooper
Save Democracy in North Carolina
Do the right thing and stop H.B. 451. We cannot have an open and fair democracy if you destroy judicial independence and stifle the voice of the voters.
Why is this important?
Governor McCrory and the North Carolina House has introduced legislation titled H.B. 451 that can be construed as nothing but a blatant attack on democracy. Not only would this bill destroy North Carolina's judicial public financing system -- a model for the nation -- but it would also eliminate same day registration, Sunday voting, and a full week of early voting.
This is politics at its most cynical -- politicians attempting to stifle the voice of the voters with blatantly partisan attacks.
And now, at a time when voters are looking for answers to the influx of big money in elections, we should be looking for ways to reduce the influence of special interests not increase their power.
Don't let these attacks on democracy go unanswered. Add your name to the petition and tell the Governor and the State Legislature to do the right thing and stop H.B. 451.
