legislating a win or the ABCs of N.C. politics
Hey, The ballot is biased toward Democratic candidates… In every race for every office the Dem Name appears at the top. Sound good? you can stop reading now. if not…read on.
Why? Because the ruling party thinks that is how it should be that’s why, don’t worry about it just vote. I have posted this one at every blog I could think of and I have told every reporter that called me. I have been telling people until I am tired of doing it, so I will make one last effort to call attention to a problem that affects everyone whether you a DEM or REP or UNA or LIB or Tory or Whig I don’t care, I really don’t. Please read this post and think really hard about what it means to us all.
If our system of electing candidates is biased or flawed we are all harmed because if you don’t trust the process then how can you be expected to trust the people elected using it. I personally feel that any group that holds itself out to be idealogically different from other groups should not have absolute power over everyone else. That very situation has been allowed to occur here in the old north state and I don’t think it’s good.
I speak of the fact that the NC general assembly in the sum total of it’s parts is controlled in every way by Democrats, the House, the Senate and the Governors mansion. So, mob rule is in effect in the NC general assembly, we need to correct that. I am asking you to change it by voting for me, I am an advocate for term limits so the seats will become open more often and we don’t have career politicians in office anymore from either party.
It also gives Republicans an excuse not to fight abuse of power through mass communications like this media as well as others,”what can we do the democrats control everything ?”
Elect me and you will see what can be done to bring issues like this to the light of day. Complete Democrat control over the General Assembly is a fact, and the reason I believe the following unscrupulous act was allowed to occur.
In 2001 a bill was drafted that was later ratified to become one of our state laws that dealt with the arrangement of ballots G.S.163-165.6(d) as it is known today, this general statute says … ” Nominees of political parties that reflect at least five percent (5%) of statewide voter registration, according to the most recent statistical report published by the State Board of Elections, in alphabetical order by party and in alphabetical order within the party. As we learned in N.C. public schools D comes before R every time in alphabetical order so this will place the Democrats at the top of the ballot in every race, forever, Not on my watch.
I have learned firsthand that being at the top of a ballot is an advantage, no doubt about it. It should occur on a fair basis of rotating position at the top. Dems this election REP next time and then we rotate again.
There it is, an unfair advantage ratified by the General Assembly. Do we need a better argument for not allowing one party to rule over us. Whomever you support, whatever you believe, you have to see the potential for corruption in this practice.
Before anyone else says to me “the Republicans would do the same if they were in power” I would like to point you to SB 313 drafted in 2007 by Republican Senate minority leader Phil Berger that orders the ballot be arranged in rotating fashion each election year . Just like we learned in kindergarten it’s nice to take turns. The time for this kind partisan rule has come and gone. We will have a new administration in the White House and in the Governor’s mansion in 22 days, And guess what, we still have to live our lives just like before.
So we damned well better learn to play well with others or face another meltdown because we were too busy playing politics and not letting he blame fall on those who deserve it regardless of party affiliation. They might not let us up so fast next time. Please tell someone about the ballot for all of our sakes.
P.S. really, I probably won’t stop talking about until it’s fixed, I know me, I’m just like that.
Vote Wilson for Senate
