Joe McLaughlin’s Monday Morning Memo

This post is cross-posted from the Brock Log.

Onslow Commissioner, and Republican Congressional candidate, Joe McLaughlin writes a "Monday Morning Memo" each week. This week, McLaughlin takes aim at Congressman Walter B. Jones, Jr.'s vote on the "Protect America Act" or Senate Bill 1927.

Says McLaughlin in his Monday Morning Memo:

Congressman Jones, Jr. To NC-03: "I don’t want to talk to you!"

It's the August recess for Congress and members everywhere are back "in the district" and meeting with their constituents.

Well...

Almost everyone.

The Gentleman from North Carolina's Third Congressional District will not be meeting with constituents.

I know because I tried to find out...

Adame for Congress

In a long discussion with Marshall Adame, he and I have decided that the best way I can serve his campaign is from the outside. There are many factors to this decision, none of which require public scrutiny.

DNC: "Mr. Brock, send us money." Me: "Thanks, but no."

The other day I got a letter from Governor Howard Dean (M.D.) asking for money for the Democratic National Committee.

I declined.

Dear Governor Dean,

3rd District Convention

The 3rd Congressional District will hold its annual convention today at Charles B. Aycock High School in Pikeville, NC. Registration starts at noon, lunch (at Wilbur's BBQ) starts at 12:30 and the convention begins at 2pm.

Marshall Adame (candidate for NC's 3rd Congressional District) will be present, as will I.

If you're coming, my cell phone # is 910-546-0769. Give us a call and we'll be sure to meet!

HB 91 (Registration and Voting at One-Stop Sites)

HB 91 (Registration and Voting at One-Stop Sites) will be going through the Senate Select Committee on Government and Election Reform soon (the scheduled meeting for today was canceled). I ask that each of you contact the Senators on the Select Committee to express your support and urge them to support the bill.

HB 91 is important because it will allow registration and voting on the same day during the "One Stop" voting period prior to elections. This is a great opportunity to attract voters and will certainly make voting more convenient for hard working North Carolinians.
