Rick Clazier : Why the Anti-Marriage Amendment Must be Defeated
Good morning and I am sad to have to be addressing this topic today, but then again the Legislature this year has been filled with sad days and votes. So let’s be clear what the proposed amendment the Legislature in North Carolina just passed and placed on the ballot does— it does not just define marriage as only between a man and a woman—it also bars all heterosexual as well as gay domestic partnerships and civil unions. This is not a mere codification of the existing law, but a vast expansion, creating one of the most, if not the most, extreme...

Thanks to 9/11, Peaceful Protest = Terrorism
Raw Story Video, This video is difficult to watch and some viewers may find the footage from Berkeley, California disturbing. In it, a line of police in riot gear attempt to surge into a line of peaceful protesters, jabbing with night-sticks. Cries of pain and alarm are heard as the protesters are jabbed in the gut, punched, and knocked to the ground. In spite of what is apparently a police effort to scatter them, however, the protesters stand firm. They lock arms and chant “Stop beating students!” in unison and the video ends in a tense standoff....

A Message from Senator Richard Burr
It was a pleasure to be in North Carolina last week traveling across the state, visiting with North Carolinians and discussing their concerns and the issues they would like to see us address in Washington, but it was back to business as usual in Congress this week. Despite the urgency of the issues we are working on in Congress, there was little progress made on behalf of the American people this week. Even though it is clear that the first stimulus bill did not create the jobs it promised, some in Washington continue to push these failed,...
