Dr. Dan Brings FreedomForum to Town

ANGEL HOSPITAL CAFETERIA

8:00AM – Breakfast (Dutch) – 8:30AM Meeting

AGENDA 21

As a grassroots activist and two-time US Congressional candidate, I will continue to speak out on the issues whenever and wherever I can find a willing audience.  Ultimately, our goal must be to reverse course away from socialism and back to limited Constitutional government.  This includes overturning and dismantling ObamaCare, taking the Presidency back (we can’t withstand one more year let alone four of this Administration), repealing a massive number of dictatorial executive orders, and preventing the further implementation of Agenda 21, the United Nation’s incremental plan, under the guise of sustainable development, to steal our private property, freedom and ultimately the sovereignty of our nation.

The days of toeing the line for party politics or political favors is over.  As individuals, each of us must take the initiative to educate ourselves about the issues as well as the differences between candidates.  My criteria is simple – I will only support Constitutional conservatives committed to limited government, personal responsibility, fiscal restraint, individual liberty and free markets.  With the help of iCaucus, determining who these candidates are is a bit less cumbersome.

iCaucus is a national, non-partisan, citizen-led organization dedicated to empowering “We the People” to fully participate in the electoral process, while taking the big money and special interests out of the equation.   To its many affiliate groups throughout North Carolina, the iCaucus process provides us with a tool we can utilize to vet our candidates, issue endorsements, work hard to get them elected and then hold them accountable . . . we are, after all, the EMPLOYER and they WORK for US.

The iCaucus process maintains a standard that directly corresponds to grassroots’ criteria and adheres to tea party values.  Through grassroot’s efforts and other organizations like iCaucus and the Republican Liberty Caucus, we can bring the people back into the election process by their participation to replace compromised incumbents with good men and women.

The following candidates have demonstrated a commitment to fiscal responsibility guided by Constitutional authority. Through the iCaucus vetting process, several grassroots organizations have determined that these candidates embrace our principles and can defend them.

I  am proud to join iCaucus, Asheville Tea PAC, Cherokee County 9-12 Project and other affiliate groups throughout North Carolina who have ENDORSED the following candidates.  I believe each of these men to be the most conservative, well-informed, tea party-aligned candidates running for their respective offices.

Lieutenant Governor: Dan Forest

My wife and I recently had the honor of sharing our home with Dan, his wonderful wife, Alice, and their three amazing children, Hayley, Max and Olivia. Dan has a very tight schedule heading into the primary, but he made it a priority to come all the way over to Cherokee County where he met with members of our local tea party and GOP as well as some of our Cherokee County Commissioners and Commission candidates.  Dan is very clear on his positions – NO waffling.  I have no doubt that Dan Forest will carry Cherokee County on May 8.

Secretary of State:  Dr. Michael Beitler
I believe Dr. Beitler to be an extraordinary man who possesses the moral character, intelligence, education and resolve to champion the constitutional principles of limited government, personal responsibility, fiscal restraint, individual liberty and free markets.  In addition to securing iCaucus endorsement, Mike has also received the endorsement of the Republican Liberty Caucus.  Mike, too, will carry Cherokee County, and North Carolinians will be well served by the election of Dr. Mike Beitler to the office of Secretary of State.

NC Congressional District 10:  Ken Fortenberry
I believe we have an incumbency problem in Washington in both political parties.  A candidate’s willingness to step up to an independent, outside vetting process at the request of his future employer speaks volumes about their character and commitment to “We the People” and not party politics or political favors.  Please take a moment to check out Ken’s website.  You will find he has been very thorough addressing the issues and that he will be quick to respond to any additional questions you may have.  Please consider making a contribution to his campaign and volunteering to help man the polls on May 8.

NC Senate 48:  Fremont V. Brown, III
So that I don’t repeat what you’ve already patiently taken the time to read, my statement above highlighted in blue applies to Fremont as well as the following endorsed candidates . . . I have known Fremont for several years.  He has never wavered on his commitment to the cause . . . restoring limited government based on the rule book . . . the United States Constitution.  Fremont is a work horse who’s courage to challenge a long-time incumbent puts him at the top of my list.

NC Senate 49:  RL Clark   
I have also know RL for several years.  He has dedicated his life to public service.  RL is passionate about working hard to get us back on the “right” track.  He’s another patriot who’s not afraid to do what’s right.  RL is as honorable a man as the most honorable I’ve known.  If you are in his district, please consider making a contribution and volunteering to man the polls next Tuesday.

NC House 113:  Christopher Whitmire
Please take a moment to check out Chris’s website, where he has clearly articulated the issues and how he plans to address them.  Chris has pledged to never forsake his rural mountain values by falling prey to Raleigh’s one size fits all mentality. Consider making a campaign contribution and volunteering to help him and the polls on Tuesday.

NC Senate 18:  Representative Glen Bradley
Over the past several years, I have come to know, recognize and appreciate Glen as a man of the people and a TRUE PATRIOT.  It is rumored that establishment politics would like to wash their hands of those who are likely to rock the boat.  Glen fits the bill, because he will never go along just to get along.  If you are in Glen’s district, please consider contributing to his campaign and volunteering to help man the polls on primary day.

NC House 9:  Representative Ric Killian
Ric is a champion of the free market and his integrity is unquestionable.  If you are in his district, please check out his website, consider making a contribution and volunteer to help him man the polls on Tuesday.

NC House 87: Jordon Greene
Jordan is another candidate with the courage to stand up against the establishment and challenge a long-time incumbent.  In addition to having received iCaucus endorsement, Jordan has also received the endorsements of the Republican Liberty Caucus, Liberty Candidates 2012, the Asheville Tea PAC and now Dr. Dan’s Freedom Forum.  If you reside in Jordan’s district, please take a moment to review his website, consider making a campaign contribution and volunteering to help man the polls.

NC Senate 50:  Senator Jim Davis
Although Senator Davis does not have a Republican primary, we are going to need to mobilize quickly and work hard to get him through the other side of November 6.  Please consider volunteering for Senator Davis and making a contribution to his campaign.  Every dollar counts!

Recommendation for Governor: Judge Paul Wright
Although I am not endorsing a candidate for governor, I am recommending you give every consideration to Judge Paul Wright, who understands the real issues facing us today, such as Agenda 21, which he has publicly pledged to fight.
With regard to challenger candidate Pat McCrory, please take the time to read an article and listen to an interview conducted by Neal Thomas.  You can also “google” “Pat McCrory” AND “Agenda 21″.  Discern for yourself whether McCrory is “FOR” or “AGAINST” Agenda 21 – My vote goes to FOR . . .  I cannot support any candidate who either does not understand the evil behind this agenda or does not care

Recommendation for NC Auditor: Fern Shubert

I had the opportunity to meet and speak with candidate Fern Shubert a couple of weeks ago at a tea party rally near Charlotte.  Her positions fall-lock step in line with tea party values – limited government and fiscal responsibility.  Fern also received the endorsement of the Republican Liberty Caucus.

Recommendation for Superintendent NC Dept. of Public Instruction:
Richard Alexander
I had the pleasure of meeting candidate Richard Alexander and the opportunity to discuss the issues related to education with him last weekend at a tea party rally in Alleghany County.  Richard believes in fiscal responsibility to ward off the need to increase taxes.  He also understands that education is most effective and  best managed at the local level.  Please take a moment to check out Richard’s website, consider making a contribution and volunteering to man the primary polls on Tuesday.

Recommendation for US Congress District 11:  Vance Patterson
Again, I am not “endorsing” a candidate for this office as there are a few who are, for the most part, qualified.  However, there are some key points that separate Vance Patterson from the rest.  Vance was iCaucus endorsed in 2010 for US Congress District 10 (Burke Co. is now in District 11).  Vance did submit to iCaucus vetting for 2012. but no endorsement was issued because  four candidates participated and none received the requisite 60% vote of membership.  Vance tied Mark Meadows with 40% of the vote each.  Vance is not a politician.  He came from the tea party, like so many of us did, out of fear and concern for the abuse of power coming down on us so quickly from Washington.  Vance has not accepted support from special interests for money in exchange for casting votes at their demand.  Vance will be beholden to no one but We the People.  Vance is a Constitutional conservative who has publicly pledged to donate his congressional salary back to District 11 charities.  Please check out Vance Patterson’s website, and consider making a contribution and volunteering to help man the polls next Tuesday.

Recommendation for NC Republican National Committeewoman:  Re-Elect Dr Ada Fisher
Dr. Fisher is a champion of the United States Constitution and a true American Patriot.   In 2008, as Republican National Committeewoman, Dr. Fisher began to tackle the items and issues she wanted to accomplish for the party.  It is my hope that Dr. Ada Fisher is nominated and re-elected to the seat of Republican National Committeewoman at the NC GOP State Convention at the Koury Convention Center in Greensboro, NC, June 1-3.  Dr. Fisher’s list of accomplishments says it all:

• helped force a change in the RNC leadership
• opened the book of the RNC to insure that money from the organization is handled  correctly
• insisted that the candidate procedures are open and fair; therefore, allowing for more debates and the opportunity for all  to be seen and heard
• a better hook-up via Internet with constituencies at county, state, and federal levels
• more accountability at RNC for its action and breaking up some of the old boy networks (ongoing process)
• larger inclusion of divergent voices including the young, tea parties, libertarians, independents, as well as the conservative majority

At the state level

• insured the fairness of process for all candidates and tried to keep leadership from prematurely interfering in contested primaries
• at some point in time has visited all 100 counties over the last 10 years
• traveled wherever asked to get the message out
• chaired county conventions to minimize conflicts and confusions
• helped develop young leadership in the party at the state level with the Assistant Party Secretary and Executive Director of the Young Republicans Nationally
• Charter Member of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Charlotte, NC
• Charter Member of the NC Hispanic Alliance
• Described in Black Enterprises on line as the Fannie Lou Hammer of the Republican Party in helping to address the issues of average folks
• attended funerals and written and facilitated many letters to bereaved members
• recruited solid people to run for office

At the local level

•  helped local candidates (at many levels including putting out yard signs)
• engaged with Republican women
• engaged the party in outreach and a broader focus to strengthen its base
• been a personal sick and shut-in committee

Recommendations for Cherokee County Commissioners At Large:  
You must vote a Republican ballot to vote for these two recommendations.  CB McKinnon  and Steve Higdon understand that the right to own property that cannot be arbitrarily seized by the government at any level is the basis of our freedom.  Both CB and Steve are committed to limited government, lower taxes, and will fight to keep Sustainable Development (Agenda 21) out of Cherokee County!

CB McKinnon (R)

  Steve Higdon (R)
