Stop Pete Brunstetter (R) – Castle Doctrine

February 24th, 2013 by admin Categories: 2nd Amendment 8 Responses

Action Item: Senator Peter Brunstetter, a Republican, is trying to make it a felony offense in NC to willfully discharge a weapon in any building or vehicle, including your home, to harm another or incite fear. Big government Republicans are just as bad and dangerous as a Liberal. So, with this short bill, Senator Brunstetter is seeking to overturn the Castle Doctrine in NC.
This bill makes a criminal of anyone defending themselves in any building, structure, motor vehicle, or other conveyance, erection, or enclosure with the intent to do harm or incite fear. Call Brunstetter and tell him to rescind: Senate Bill 124.§14-34.10. Which states: Discharge firearm within enclosure to do harm or incite fear. Unless covered under some other provision of law providing greater punishment, any person who willfully or wantonly discharges or attempts to discharge a firearm within any building, structure, motor vehicle, or other conveyance, erection, or enclosure with the intent to do harm or incite fear shall be punished as a Class E felon.

He and his progressive friends have no right to trample upon our second amendment rights and make felons of us for protecting ourselves or our loved ones. We all have an inalienable right, enshrined in our US Constitution, to keep and bear arms. No government or bureaucrat has the authority to take that away. We will actively seek another to run against him in the next election.

Sign The Petition To Stop The US From Signing The Arms Trade Treaty!

Sign the Petition to Stop This Treaty

On July 27th, the nations of the world are scheduled to meet in New York to sign a global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT).  Disguised as a way to prevent the proliferation of small arms throughout the world, it is, in fact, a backdoor way to legislate gun control in the United States and effectively repeal our Second Amendment.

The ATT will set up a global body, which will require all nations to regulate firearms so that they can prevent their exportation to other countries.  Inevitably, this will require countries to inventory the guns in private hands and to register them.  A gun ban is not far away.

The ATT, under the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution, would have the power of a constitutional amendment and would, effectively, repeal the Second Amendment guaranteeing us the right to bear arms.  We must fight to stop the US from signing the treaty and, if we fail, block Senate ratification.

Please sign the petition below and include your name and address so we can send it to your Congressman and Senators.  We’ll add your email address to our Alerts list so we can keep you posted on progress and next steps.

Supreme Court Ruling in Plain English

June 28th, 2012 by NC Tea Party Staff Categories: Hot Topics No Responses

“The Affordable Care Act, including its individual mandate that virtually all Americans buy health insurance, is constitutional. There were not five votes to uphold it on the ground that Congress could use its power to regulate commerce between the states to require everyone to buy health insurance.

However, five Justices agreed that the penalty that someone must pay if he refuses to buy insurance is a kind of tax that Congress can impose using its taxing power. That is all that matters. Because the mandate survives, the Court did not need to decide what other parts of the statute were constitutional, except for a provision that required states to comply with new eligibility requirements for Medicaid or risk losing their funding. On that question, the Court held that the provision is constitutional as long as states would only lose new funds if they didn’t comply with the new requirements, rather than all of their funding.”

STOP Agenda 21 in NC

North Carolina refused to ratify the Constitution until there was a Bill of Rights to protect our freedoms, it is time for us to again stand for freedom. In the short session of the Legislature beginning on the 16th two bills will be introduced one to block Agenda 21 and the other to nullify the NDAA indefinite detention provisions.

This is were your help is needed to spread the word because 2/3 of the House will be need to approve the resolutions to bring them to the floor in the “short session” otherwise they will die in committee.The House leadership wants to wrap this session up quickly so they can get back out on the campaign trail and tell you what wonderful things they have accomplished and how they are looking out for your interest.

Well, its time to let them know that our interest include Agenda 21 and NDAA and we expect them continue the tradition laid out by the founders of our state and to stand up for our rights and for freedom.

They will not move unless we push them, so call, email and write, be courteous but be insistent, we need this done before they quit work for the year.

The Time for Action is Now, Not Tomorrow Today!

– William Kennedy, as posted in our discussion group

Rep. Glen Bradley is working on this now. Since this is a short session, the rules need to be changed so the the Agenda 21 bill can be brought to the floor. It will that 2/3 of the 120 House members to approve the resolution.
