Legalize This!

Libertarians believe each adult should have the freedom to make his or her own choices about medication, without a permission slip from a government-blessed medical professional. If you think control of antibiotics is about sound science rather than control, you should check out the agriculture industry, where antibiotics are given routinely to perfectly healthy livestock.

Why make poor folks suffer through a weekend's pain or go to an emergency room for a simple tooth abscess because they don't have a regular physician on call? Let's educate folks about antibiotics and let them make their own call - to a doctor or to a pharmacy of their choice.

Public Hearing on Annexation

What: Public Hearing on Annexation

When: Wednesday, June 13, 5:00 PM

Where: NCGA Legislative Office Bldg Third Floor Auditorium

Event Description: There is a public legislative hearing on an annexation bill Wednesday evening and our allies at StopNCAnnexation want us to participate. The hearing is to get public input on a bill that started out as anti-forced annexation and has been watered down into a bill calling for a 'study' of forced annexation.

Who needs another taxpayer-financed study to investigate a clear wrong?

The VITAL thing is for us to bring lots of folks to the hearing and make vocal our displeasure with the shameful practice of forced annexation.

Below is the notice of the event, giving info about who to contact if you want to speak on the subject. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT SPEAK, PLEASE TRY TO MAKE THE HEARING. YOUR PRESENCE IS A ***LOUD***VOICE!
