I think Senator Hagan needs to make a commercial about #Occupy. There are those that are attempting to steal their message and pervert it. Senator Hagan needs to let the young voters of North Carolina it is important to turn out and vote for the President's agenda to roll back the high cost of a college education.
GREENSBORO, North Carolina — U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan (click here) is running her first two television ads of the fall campaign that promote her legislative efforts to help victims of Camp Lejeune water contamination and the textile industry.
Hagan's campaign said the ads began running Tuesday and will air statewide over the next couple of months. A campaign spokeswoman says the ads will cost at least $1 million.
The commercials seek to portray the Greensboro Democrat as someone who's gotten things done during her first Senate term.
One commercial featured a former Camp Lejeune drill instructor whose daughter died from leukemia. Jerry Ensminger thanks Hagan for getting involved in giving health benefits to those exposed to the water.
Another commercial highlights Hagan's work on legislation closing a trade agreement loophole that hurt U.S. yarn makers.
The topic of higher education is important. In North Carolina even the Governor is cheating public educations students out of fair tuition rates. He wants to divert funding to private colleges.

While the governor (click here) protected some funding for the UNC System, particularly at those that serve minorities, he did call for an overall reduction in university spending. Specifically, the overall UNC budget would be reduced by 2 percent to $2.55 billion.
Reduced funding to public universities increases tuition and raises the need for more loans.

...The remarks came in a national radio interview (click here) with conservative talk show host Bill Bennett, former President Reagan’s education secretary. The breezy, 10-minute interview, in which the Republican governor touched on hot-button issues, elicited a swift, angry response Tuesday from faculty and others.
McCrory declined to be interviewed about the detaill. By day’s end, his staffers were trying to temper his remarks.
“This was not meant to be a personal attack on UNC,” said spokeswoman Crystal Feldman. “Gov. McCrory did not mean to tarnish UNC’s reputation.”
On the show, McCrory said “educational elite” had taken over, offering courses that have no path to jobs. He said he instructed his staff Monday to draft legislation that could alter the state money that universities and community colleges receive “not based on how many butts in seats but how many of those butts can get jobs.” (Listen to the audio here.)...

In 2013, McCrory gave a tax cut to citizens and corporations. NOW, he is asking citizens to pay higher taxes for closing the education budget in the state. He has yet to ask the corporations to give back their tax cuts.

...They waited patiently for 10 hours (click here) in Tillis’ office in the state Capitol late last month. Then police charged them with trespassing, handcuffed them and hauled them out of the people’s house.
These Moral Monday protesters didn’t understand the situation as Tillis did or, for that matter, from the perspective of his fellow hardline Republicans from Wisconsin to Georgia. The way GOP hardliners see it, Tillis is the Speaker. He speaks, and everybody else shuts up and listens. These lawmakers don’t represent constituents in a constitutional democracy. They are overlords. And as rulers over the people, they’ve awarded themselves the power to muzzle and handcuff anyone who disagrees with them....
