Political Statements of Elected Officials

The North Carolina republican legislature continues to undermine the role of the voters with the override of Governor Roy Coopers veto of Senate Bill 382. They used their super majority power to make Senate Bill 382 the law in North Carolina. They sold out the people of Western North Carolina who were affected by Hurricane Helene by using this bill to get less funding than had been approved earlier with bipartsian support,  they took away election protections, and they forced the new Attorney General to only defend laws that the legislature approved. 
The people of North Carolina will be forced to live under this shameful law unless the court reverses this purely politial power grab. It should be noted they only called the funding Hurricane Relief not Hurricane Helene Relief. Where will this money go? Also the republican super majority ends with the swearing in of the new legislature in January. Young people you must act to protect your future.

North Carolina ballot amendment to change the North Carolina Constitution to change wording of citizens voting from Every Citizen to Only Citizens can vote. Republican State Senator Brad Overcash describe the amendment change as a vote to ensure that a future Legislature could not change to the law to allow non-citizens to vote. 
This one word change would benefit the Republican Party. If Donald Trump was to become President again he  has promised to issued an Executive Order to ban children born is the United States of illegal immigrants from automatically become US Citizens. This would lead to taking away a right from US Citizens. 
This is another example of Repbulicans taking away rights from US Citizens. What will be taken away next. The current Supreme Court is likely to side with Donald Trump and the Republians to take rights from another group, just as they took away a woman's rights to choose.
