YOU make the difference
for reform!
The people have joined their voices
together to appeal to our lawmakers for change to the NC
annexation laws. It is your letters, emails, phone calls and
visits to the Legislators that has brought the issue to the
forefront in the General Assembly this year.
NOW_ it is critical that hundreds of people
rally together in Raleigh on June 4th to make personal
visits to all of our Legislators. We need to make sure that
they know how the people feel about the forced
annexation laws of North Carolina. They need to see an even
larger crowd gathered across from their offices this
year.
With the
House Study Committee on Municipal Annexation, the
Moratorium Bill that the Committee has filed, the House
& Senate Minority Leadership holding a
Press Conference about the annexation reform issue, and
a
Resolution filed by Senator Brock, the momentum that you
have built needs a great big exclamation mark! This Rally is
our chance to do that.
The City Lobbyists work in Raleigh every day
and each year they sponsor an event that brings hundreds of
City Officials to Raleigh to lobby for the cities and the
NCLM Agenda. That Agenda always includes strong opposition
to reforming annexation. The undue influence of the NCLM
needs to be countered by a very large signal from the
citizens of this State.
