The Real Deal On The NC Common Core Bill

Posted on May 21, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

First Things First – Clearing the air
Those who follow this blog know I have been on the front lines of this fight for coming up on two years. Speaking for myself, I’ve given more time to this issue than I care to think about. It’s cost me friendships, time with my family and has been a big source of stress overall. Having said that, I wouldn’t change any of it since I’m fighting for my children and the children of NC.

Myself and others have done the presentation circuit and the radio shows. We’ve been testifying at various forums and in front of the Common Core Study committee. We’ve been writing, researching and meeting with legislators. All of this has culminated in a HB1061/SB812 – Replace Common Core To Fit NC’s Needs. This bill now has a companion in the Senate. Here are the bills that are relevant to the fight against Common Core:

SB815 – Ensuring Privacy of Student Records
SB812 – Replace Common Core To Meet NC’s Needs

Getting HB1061/SB812 passed is critical to being able to move forward with getting rid of the rest of it. It is critical we get the commission to replace up and running. Common Core is like a hydra, you can’t cut off all the heads at one time. Continue reading →

Harry Reid Sends Stalker To Tillis Victory Party

Posted on May 12, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Harry Reid’s Senate Majority PAC will go to great lengths to save Obamacare loving Kay Hagan… apparently that includes stalking Thom Tillis at his primary victory party and filming an ad. Is it real? Probably staged — but the idea alone shows what kind of people Kay Hagan runs with. Creepy, crazy stalker types. Continue reading →

It’s Time To Fire Kay Hagan, North Carolina.

Posted on May 10, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Well, the primary is over and Thom Tillis has emerged as the Republican candidate to challenge Kay Hagan. A lot of folks were split in their support during this primary season.

Brannon, Harris, Grant — all great candidates with conservative values and strengths. No one is going to say otherwise, but now it is time to get behind the chosen candidate. It is not time for in-fighting, what-if arguments or for the grinding of axes. There’s a reason the Left keeps beating us; they come together, lock arms and get behind their candidates. Now it’s our turn. Get it together, folks.

It’s time to come together and GET RID OF KAY HAGAN.

Get started by getting to know Thom Tillis. This race is being watched by the nation — All Roads Lead To North Carolina. Continue reading →

#BlueprintNC Mondays Losing Steam… But Not Caskets?

Posted on September 16, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

This was Moral Monday 18. This one was a “Youth” led event complaining about SB 589 also known as VIVA. The turn out was the biggest event ever! About two dozen turned out from the looks of the ABC 11 shot:

Protest Fatigue or have they worn out their welcome like Occupy? Maybe both.
I found two live streams of the event and both kept the camera zoomed in on the speaker. When they did pan, all 3 or so dozen people were clapping wildly and I am including the throng around the podium in that assessment. (Stream 1, Stream 2)

By the way, Reverend Barber got up last and went on to talk about the Birmingham bombing. Barber went on to say that the blood of those 4 girls who were murdered in Birmingham 50 years ago was now on the hands of the members of the NCGA, Speaker Tillis and Governor McCrory. Continue reading →
