Thoughts on the NC District 11 Primary

As my readers know, I supported (and still do) Dr. Dan Eichenbaum in the NC District 11 Primary. The election was close. So close, in fact, that the final results will depend on the provisional ballots and a recount. Those results are expected on May 11.

There are reports of voter irregularities. I am registered "unaffiliated". I had no problems voting in the primary; although there are reports that some unaffiliated voters were turned away at some locations. This remains to be verified. ACORN tactics in rural North Carolina! Disgusting if true.

Voter turnout in this weeks election was low. The vote is very close to a run-off between Dr. Eichenbaum and the tentative winner, Jeff Miller. Within the next week we will learn whether or not there will be a run-off election next month.

I did what I could to get friends, co-workers, and neighbors to learn about Dr. Dan and his principled approach to leadership. By having guiding principles in place, Dan has a firm foundation to base decisions on in Washington. What an idea. Principles. . .in Washington.

Dr. Eichenbaum ran a totally grass roots campaign. Miller was hand picked and backed by the NCGOP. Dr. Eichenbaum would go to Washington owing no favors to anyone other than the voters in this district. There is no way of knowing what strings are attached to Miller. Just because he belongs to the minority party does not mean he will be a good representative for We the People of Western North Carolina. Hand picked and groomed, Miller will be a puppet of those in charge and will do their bidding. The people be damned. Nothing will change.

Those who worked to elect Dr. Dan Eichenbaum did their best. I feel I did very little, there are those who worked from daylight to dusk, day after day for the cause. Those people have my gratitude; they took up my slack.

Now, these Patriots in Western North Carolina are depressed and tired. We all feel a sense of fear at what will happen now. But we will dust ourselves off and get back in the fight to save our nation and restore Her to what the Founding Father's envisioned Her to be.

We've may have had a set-back. Maybe not. Only the God's know at this point. However, one set-back will not lessen our determination to take our country back from the Progressives and anyone else desiring to fundamentally change America into something She is not meant to be. And we have God and the Spirit's of our Founding Father's on our side. We will prevail.

Where Were You?

My question is to the voters of North Carolina District 11....Where the hell were you on Tuesday?

Were you "too tired" as a good friend told me as she left work at 3:30 and I reminded her to stop and vote? Were you busy with everyday activities that could have waited a half hour? Believe me it wouldn't have taken long. There were NO lines.

Where was the anger you have expressed to me over the last 16 months about how the "leaders" are leading our country off a cliff and into the abyss? Was it all talk? Are you too lazy to move anything but your lips in opposition? Why, on something this important, did you not get your rear in gear and go vote?

My husband and I voted. He has lost a leg and is confined to a wheelchair. I loaded him and chair in the car, drove over to our polling place; unloaded, and we went in and voted.

Where the hell were you? You weren't in line. We went straight up and voted. You had not been there. It was midday and we were voters 59 and 60. You apparently didn't think it important. We did. We always do. We care.

So, please, tell me: Where were you? Why didn't you exercise your right and duty to vote?

And I'll tell you: If you didn't vote; don't complain to me. You got what you asked for.
