This pass Monday Wake County Commissioners voted on a Resolution to support NC Constitutional Amendment 1, that will be voted on this May 8th.
The called for action was launch on Sunday by many tweeters and Bloggers. The commissioners weren’t excepting such a large turn out.. Twenty four people spoke concerning the Resolution.. 23 against and 1 for it.
The one for it was a paid Lobbyist Tami Fitzgerald who work with NC4Marriage and the NC Family Policy Council and a few other bigoted groups in NC.
The Resolution was were by the nephew of the Late Jessie Helms,yes I was shock to learn this , we simply can’t afford more Helms anti-every thing rhetoric. Chairman Paul Coble the writer of the Resolution and who have hope to go to US Congress this November, didn’t look at the speakers while they spoke nor allow a roll call vote. The Resolution pass on party lines..
Tami and her bigoted groups thinks this is a major win, since her group have just started their campaign for Amendment 1, while those oppose this amendment start back in October of 2012.
The anti-gay group had this to say about Wake Resolution,
“We applaud the Wake County Board of Commissioners for promoting civic participation of citizens, and especially for standing with the majority of North Carolinians, who support and understand the importance of preserving and protecting marriage in the State Constitution,” said Bill Brooks, president of the North Carolina Family Policy Council.
With one small win they have taken to their twitter accounts, by tweeting the following.
