Koch Brother Allegedly Sent Deceptive Mailer To NC Voters
The North Carolina Senate race is a tight one and voter turnout is likely to be crucial. Enter Americans for Prosperity, the Koch brother funded organization:
The North Carolina State Board of Elections announced this week that it is investigating a controversial mailer the conservative advocacy group Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFPF) sent to thousands of state residents that contained inaccurate information about voter registration.The board was required to launch an investigation after a formal complaint was filed by Casey Mann, executive director of the N.C. Democratic Party. The complaint noted that the mailer, sent by the AFP Foundation—whose chairman is David Koch—included incorrect information on the registration deadline, where to send voter registration applications, and where to get answers to questions about registration.

Yup, the democracy loving Koch oligarchs love democracy so much, they knowingly sent the wrong voter information to very select neighborhoods. Not the ones with gates, not the ones with Whole Foods close by, not the ones with helicopters flying overhead all night.

Sadly any investigations if any will actually take place will be just for show and nothing will come of it and this will disappear into yesterday’s news.

The TV ads are incessant as well. And they all say the same thing: ‘Hagan bad because Obama.’ They’re not airing one single ad that touts Tillis’ qualities for the job. Every one is a negative attack ad. Thank god for the mute button…

Even though I’m not a NC resident, I saw part of the debate last night uploaded to YouTube, out of curiosity:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhL9pZVlbek
Tillis seemed to repeat the same talking points from the Kochs, and Hagan was knowledgeable and called Tillis out. NC better get out and support Hagan, I’m going to support Udall here in CO against the Kochbagger Gardner!

LYING Tommie T as he no doubt will be remembered by surviving generations of North Carolinians is a typical LYING Republican Teabagger (note they don’t deny the party affiliation anymore) who has a running record as state Speaker of the House. After slashing half a billion dollars from the state educational system (without so much as one penny being taken from the North Carolina TAXPAYER FUNDED MULTIMILLION DOLLAR MARINA) to drive out the most experienced teachers did go for a reinstituting of some 30 million to try to quell the voice of opposition. North Carolina’s Public Education System will most likely sink while the yachts at the TAXPAYER FUNDED MULTIMILLION DOLLAR MARINA will not suffer so much as a ripple from the sinking of the state educational system. His rule has been bad for NC, for Veterans in NC and deadly for their children. He will be even worse in the US Senate, not only for the children of North Carolina, but your’s also. He is a 110% Koch sucker who doesn’t mind one bit LYING without conscience.

They don’t tout LYING TOMMIE T’s qualities for the US Senate because he has none. All they will say is he will vote against the POTUS on any and every thing. It’s as clear as white and black.

Under Republican Governor Pat McCrory, along with the support of LYING Tommie T., North Carolina now ranks 47th out of 50 in teacher pay. Teachers in North Carolina currently make on average $10,000 less. Same day voter registration has been repealed, the number of days for early voting have been limited, and of course, a government photo ID is being required.
Fortunately, there seems to be numerous legal questions that has driven the Governor’s rating into the dirt.

Just as a wild guess, I’ll say Mississippi is #50 on that list of teachers’ pay.

Kansas running a close second….the great conservative experiment LOL
