GRNC Rally For Constitutional Rights


Squish the Magic Rino returns to Raleigh!

The North Carolina General Assembly returns to Raleigh on October 11th and Squish and his friends at Grass Roots North Carolina will be there to welcome them back. HB 746, which would allow permitless concealed carry among other things, is still stuck in the State Senate. While it has passed the House, Senate leaders seem to think bowing down to a certain wealthy ex-mayor and his hired minions is preferable to listening to those that got them elected.

More details in this release put out by GRNC:

RALLY FOR YOUR RIGHTS


Squish the Magic RINO returns to Raleigh for your Constitutional rights…

Do you remember all of the speeches during the last election cycle, how the Republican candidates couldn't say enough about how pro-Second Amendment they are? Unfortunately, it seems that Republicans have since become complacent, and they are taking gun owners like you for granted.

We know this because House Bill 746 is still stuck in the Senate, a bill that gives NC Republicans a perfect opportunity to follow through on their campaign rhetoric. Yet, “stuck” is the key term here, not “follow through.” 

Worse yet, we know that Michael Bloomberg's out-of-state money has been hard at work in North Carolina, with a few well-paid operatives whispering fear and doubt into the ears of our elected leaders. This isn't a new game for them, since they prognosticate doom about every pro-Second Amendment measure that comes up ... and when these pro-gun bills are passed into law, their fears of doom are proven to be completely unfounded. Still, we want to make sure that responsible, law-abiding gun owners are being seen and heard by their elected leaders. Let's remind them that rich New Yorkers and a few paid minions don't speak for us in our state legislature.
 
Attend the Rally in Raleigh
As it stands, the General Assembly is scheduled to return for a special session on *Wednesday, October 11th, and GRNC has planned a gun rights rally for the mall area between the Legislature and the Legislative Office Building. However, if we are to effectively remind Republicans about you… we need YOU there. Together, we can encourage our leaders to live up to their promises and move House Bill 746 in this special session.

If you can attend, please click here to RSVP. See below, under 'Immediate Action Required,' for more details.

Barring a schedule change, which is entirely in the hands of the politicians in Raleigh, the demonstration will take place on *Wednesday, October 11th at 11:00 AM

And, just to ensure Republicans don’t miss the message:
Squish the Magic RINO
will be there!


*
A legislative session is currently scheduled to open October 11. Technically speaking, this is subject to change, and is ultimately up to the legislators themselves. Should the date change, GRNC will keep you apprised, and do its best to hold an effective rally on the appropriate date. As possible and if required, your flexibility is requested and greatly appreciated.

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!


  • RSVP ON THE GRNC WEBSITE and let us know that you can attend the rally (or go to: https://www.grnc.org/october-11-demonstration)

  • ATTEND THE RALLY! It will be located on the grass mall just north of the Legislative building at 16 W. Jones St., Raleigh, NC. The rally will begin at 11:00 AM, *Wednesday, October 11, but it's wise to get there early to alleviate parking concerns.

  • PLEASE DRESS FOR THE PRESS. We encourage professional attire. Please, no inflammatory slogans on clothing or signs. We want to show everyone that North Carolina's gun owners are the most civil, respectful, law-abiding citizens!

Rally Against The RINOs In Raleigh


The North Carolina General Assembly is returning for a special session on August 3rd. Grass Roots North Carolina is preparing a welcome for them called Rally Against RINOs in Raleigh. It is to remind the Republicans that they only achieved their supermajority in both houses due to the efforts of gun owners. The impetus for this rally is the inability of the Republicans in the House to pass HB 746 with a veto proof majority and the refusal of the State Senate to bring the bill to the floor for a vote.

If you are in the Raleigh area or if you can be in the Raleigh area for the rally on Thursday, the details are below:

LET'S REMIND OUR REPUBLICANS WHO
PUT THEM IN OFFICE.

Remember in the last election how the Republican candidates couldn't get enough love from pro-second amendment North Carolinians? Remember how they promised to be the stalwart guardians of your gun rights?

As expected, they have forgotten who "brung 'em to the dance." We know this because House Bill 746 is stuck in the Senate -- the result of petty quibbling and inactivity. Politicians are always at risk of becoming complacent (especially when their party holds a supermajority in both the house and the senate), and they sometimes need to be reminded of who they work for.

Worse yet: we know that Michael Bloomberg's out-of-state money has been hard at work in North Carolina, with a few well-paid operatives whispering fear and doubt into the ears of our elected leaders. This isn't a new game for them, since they prognosticate doom about every pro-Second Amendment measure that comes up ... and when these pro-gun bills are passed into law, their fears of doom are proven to be completely unfounded. Still, we want to make sure that responsible, law-abiding gun owners are being seen and heard by their elected leaders. Let's remind them that rich New Yorkers and a few paid minions don't speak for us in our state legislature.

The General Assembly returns for a special session on Thursday August 3, and we've planned a gun rights rally for the mall area between the Legislature and the Legislative Office Building. Most importantly: we need YOU there to join the chorus of North Carolina's law-abiding, responsible gun owners. Together, we can encourage our leaders to move House Bill 746 in this special session.

The demonstration will take place on Thursday August 3 at 11:00 AM. This will be a safe, fun, family-oriented event where we will introduce a new figure to North Carolina's political scene: Squish the Magic RINO!
