Help the next Governor candidates learn about the death penalty moratorium

The NC Governor's race is crucial to criminal justice politics in
> North Carolina since the elected Governor has the power to issue
> clemency when an execution is scheduled, grant a pardon to a
> wrongfully convicted exoneree and he/she can ultimately declare an
> official moratorium on executions. Regardless of who wins the NC
> Governor's races tomorrow in either party, please call each winner
> and say the following:
>
> Congratulations on your primary win! As a supporter of a
> moratorium on executions and death penalty reform in North
> Carolina, I ask that you immediately pardon all of North Carolina's
> recent exonerees from Death Row and prison and also consider
> issuing an official moratorium on executions in North Carolina if
> you win the general election in November.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
