Recent Email from Thom Tillis,

It's a fact that Kay Hagan continues to benefit from millions of dollars in spending by liberals like Harry Reid, Michael Bloomberg, and George Soros. They're supporting her - and attacking me - for one reason: as part of a desperate attempt to protect Barack Obama's extreme liberal agenda in Washington.

The good news is we're fighting back with a bold, conservative agenda and the support of thousands of grassroots North Carolinians. We set aggressive fundraising goals for each month, and as of this morning, we're just over $5,000 short of our online fundraising goal for the month of July. Help push us over the finish line by making a contribution of $35 or more here.

We won't ever match the millions in out-of-state special interest money being funnelled to Kay Hagan's campaign, but your grassroots contributions will give me the resources to get our message to every supporter and undecided voter between now and Election Day.

Thanks for your support,

Thom

Really Thom, how about the money you are getting form the Koch Brothers and others who are destroying this country? Who wants to take us back to the days of Jim Crow.

 

Kay may not be perfect, but she is a better choice than you any day of the week..

Kay Hagan finally supports Same Sex Marriage, WOW

From Under the Dome,

U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan said Wednesday that she supported the right of gay people to marry, saying “we should not tell people who they can love or who they can marry.''

Hagan announced her support as the US Supreme Court heard arguments on the issue.

“I know there are strong feelings on both sides, and I have a great deal of respect for their opinions,” Hagan said in an interview. “But after much thought and prayer on my part this is where I am today.''

This change only came after this piece on the Huff,

HuffPo slams the 10 Dem Senators who refuse to back gay marriage_2013-03-27

 

So Hagan gets slams on the Huff for not supporting SSM, then she comes out in support of, done like a true Politician..

NC NAACP Once Again Urges Senators Burr and Hagan to Help End Historic Exclusion of African American Judges to US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

21 February 2013

For More Information:              Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, President, 919-394-8137

Mrs. Amina J. Turner, Executive Director, 919-682-4700

The NC NAACP once again urges Senators Burr and Hagan to help put an end to the historic exclusion of African American judges from the US District Court for the Eastern District in North Carolina with the pending appointment by the President. There has never been, in our history, a African American Judge on the bench in US District Court for the Eastern District of NC. The NC NAACP issued a letter to the Senators on October 25, 2011 urging the Senators to do the same. And on January 23, 2013 we wrote a private letter to the Senators, this time requesting a meeting to discuss the issue further. Senator Hagan has responded. However we are respectfully awaiting a response from Senator Burr's office to schedule a meeting. We are now writing Senator Burr publicly with hopes that he will take the time to meet with civil rights leaders representing many of his constituents in NC before any decisions are made.

Hagan Opposes Blunt Amendment

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Kay R. Hagan (NC) today voted to oppose the "Blunt Amendment," a far-reaching provision that would have given unprecedented authority to employers and insurers to deny women access to preventive services. Senator Roy Blunt (MO) proposed the provision as an amendment to the Surface Transportation bill, important bipartisan legislation that would help jumpstart the economy and create more than two million American jobs.

"It's insulting to the American people that instead of focusing on job growth and the economy, some members of the Senate believe it is more important to play politics with women's health," Hagan said. "The Blunt amendment is a vast overreach that could lead to employers denying 600,000 North Carolina women access to vital preventive services-from mammograms to prenatal care - that saves lives and saves families. While I continue to support the religious exemption endorsed by the administration, which takes into consideration the concerns of religious organizations and requires insurance companies to reach out and offer contraceptive care free of charge, I cannot support a provision that threatens health coverage for women in North Carolina and across the country."

Under current law, individuals are guaranteed access to free preventive services such as cancer screenings, flu vaccines, diabetes and annual checkups. The Blunt amendment would allow any employer or insurer to deny these or other services for vaguely defined objections that would take the power over a women's health care out of her hands and into her employers'.

Kay Hagan opposes the NC Marriage Amendment

U.S. Senator Kay Hagan is taking a stand in North Carolina’s marriage equality debate, urging29 voters to oppose the proposed constitutional amendment that would ban civil unions and define marriage as only between one man and one woman.

Personally I think she is up to something..

You can read Senator Hagan’s full statement below:

”In today’s hyper-partisan political environment, I view any attempt to alter our state constitution with a critical eye. Amendment One has far-reaching negative consequences for our families, our children and our communities. North Carolina is one of the most business-friendly states in the nation, and this amendment would harm our state’s ability to recruit the innovators and businesses that are driving our economic recovery. Jobs are my number one priority, and we cannot afford to take our eye off the ball and give businesses a reason to grow and expand elsewhere. The people I hear from everyday - the families that make up the fabric of the Old North State – tell me they are sick and tired of watching their jobs and their livelihoods fall victim to divisive partisan posturing. In North Carolina we say our state is “Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great.” Amendment One harms our state’s resolve to make all people and all families great, and as a proud daughter of North Carolina, I urge all North Carolinians to join me in opposing it.” – Senator Kay R. Hagan

Is Kay Hagan in the Closet???

Yes she is, and I’m not talking about her sexuality neither.

So what Closet is it that I’m talking about, the Republican one.. Is she a sheep in Wolf clothing?

Kay Hagan is once again on the wrong side of an issue. She also supported (and defended) the bill that allowed for the indefinite detainment of US citizens by the military.

Also we know that she has sold herself to Corp of America..

She more concerned about protecting the $$ of multinationals and less about Americans' freedoms.

So Please Hagan do us the flavor and go head and switch sides now. So we can vote you ass out in the next election and get a true Democrat in there..

Has Kay Hagan sold herself to Corp-America?

KayHaganMugFrom EdCone.com,

Why do Kay Hagan and Mel Watt support legislation that would harm the open internet?

The rest of NC's honorable are as yet undeclared; more here on finding out who backs SOPA and PIPA.

More here.

Another shock move by Hagan. I thought she would never out do herself after one,

A BILL

To amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to modify provisions relating to the exemption for computer systems analysts, computer programmers, software engineers, or other similarly skilled workers.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

The short is, the bill would allow Corps to stop paying over time to its IT workers.. work 65 hours one week would be equal to reg. pay.. not time and half..

It would seem to me that Kay Hagan is selling out her constituency for big under the table paydays..

Did Pam Spaulding hit the nail on the head of Kay's Problem,

U.S. Senator Kay Hagan has a communications closet problem. While the North Carolina Democrat is a supporter of LGBT rights generally – she voted in favor of the current federal hate crimes law and to repeal DADT, she has a history of trying to fly under the public radar in doing so, as if the right wing isn’t going to notice her voting record.

In 2010 she voted to end DADT, while after claiming  support for the Dream Act to those who live in her district, she voted against in 2010..  I firmly believe on the DADT and Dream Act there as some horse trading, between Burr and herself

So where does Hagan stand on current issues? It seem she more for Corp America then for the people who elected her to office..

The Recent: Happy Letter from Kay Hagan.. She should be ashamed of herself..

it listed her past positive items, that she can brag about.. and her 2012 agenda, I have notice that she let one item off, which means she left all her backroom deals with Corp America..

here are her so called Highlights

2011 Highlights

  • Congress passed and the President signed the VOW To Hire Heroes Act, a bill similar to Hagan's Hire a Hero bill that offers a tax credit for businesses that hire unemployed veterans.
  • Senator Hagan included several key provisions to put our students first in the rewrite of No Child Left Behind, the federal education law.
  • Senator Hagan led the successful effort to honor the Montford Point Marines, the first African-Americans to serve in the Marine Corps, with the Congressional Gold Medal
  • The Trade Adjustment Assistance program was extended to help workers who have lost their jobs due to foreign trade.
  • Senator Hagan joined her colleagues from NC delegation to host the Defense Trade Show in Fayetteville, where more than 600 businesses came to connect with senior leaders from Capitol Hill, the Pentagon, Forces Command, Army Reserve Command and North Carolina military bases.
  • Max Cogburn was unanimously confirmed to serve as District Court Judge for the Western District of North Carolina and Thomas Walker was unanimously confirmed to serve as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District.
  • Senator Hagan hosted an Export-Import forum in Charlotte to help NC small businesses gain a competitive edge in foreign markets.
  • Senator Hagan hosted 22 Conversations with Kay in communities around North Carolina. Check hagan.senate.gov to know when she will be in your town.

Now her 2012 Wish list,

2012 Priorities

Jobs remain Senator Hagan’s number one priority for 2012. Thanks to North Carolina’s first-class universities, community colleges and work ethic, Senator Hagan knows that our workers can be well-prepared to fill the next-generation jobs coming to our state. She will continue her efforts to connect workforce development officers, educators, and out-of-work North Carolinians so that our workers are ready for the jobs that are coming available.

Senator Hagan is committed to strengthening the U.S. economy by fighting for comprehensive deficit reduction and fostering a robust business environment.  As the deficit reduction debate continues, Senator Hagan will work to protect investments in education, infrastructure, and research and development.

As our brave servicemembers return from Iraq, Senator Hagan will continue fighting for the support and care these men and women and their families have earned. Whether it is timely and accessible health care, opportunities to further their education, or connecting their skill sets to civilian job opportunities, Senator Hagan will continue to make North Carolina the most military-friendly state in the nation for our veterans.

But she left this one complete out. the one where she on the behalf of Corp America,, Yes she won’t to take the over time pay from those whom work in the IT field, which we all know once you do one job field the others will slowly be done too.. Like those who work in the Nursing Fields… she is help Corp America via back room deals.. She has been a Senator also most three years and she is just a crooked as the rest of them.. Boy she is a fast learner isn’t she.. Just how rich will she be at the end of her term?????

I have to wonder what the fuck she is doing. She claimed she was for the working person; how she is for Corp America.. helping them to save money. This is also the start to take over time completely away. What profession is next? Will the medical field personal be next,while they claim this would help medical cost and insurance…

Senator Hagan, please explain to me how this helps our state?

NC NAACP Releases Open Letter to Senators Burr and Hagan Demanding Equitable African American Representation in North Carolina's Judicial Appointments

NAACP Decries the Fact that North Carolina is Last Among Southern States in African-American Representation in Judicial Appointments and Implores North Carolina's Senators to Support African-American Appointments

Press Conference to be Scheduled in Eastern North Carolina Early Next Week

DURHAM - The North Carolina NAACP is releasing an open letter to North Carolina's US Senators, calling on them to address the embarrassing and pernicious history of African-American appointments to North Carolina's Federal District Courts. As of this week, the North Carolina NAACP is mobilizing our 125+ adult, youth and college NAACP units and our 110+ HKonJ Coalition partners to make calls to the offices of Senators Richard Burr and Kay Hagan to demand they nominate an African American to serve as a federal District Court Judge in the Eastern District, where roughly half of the state's African American population resides and where every county with a majority African American population is located, as well as ensure equity in future appointments across the state.

OPEN LETTER

October 25, 2011

The Honorable Richard Burr

The Honorable Kay Hagan

United States Senate

Re: Appointment of an African American Judge to North Carolina's Federal District Court

Dear Senators Burr and Hagan:

The North Carolina State Conference of NAACP Branches strongly urges you to recommend the nomination and appointment of an African American to the vacancy on the United States District Court in North Carolina.  It is important that the judiciary reflects the racial diversity of North Carolina. Our examination of the presence of African Americans who serve as Judges on the three District Courts in this State shows an abysmal failure by our political leadership to recognize and appoint qualified African Americans to serve as District Court Judges. Therefore we urge you to immediately identify and recommend the appointment of qualified African Americans, to rectify this shameful history of exclusion.

With only one African American federal District Court Judge presently seated, North Carolina has the least diverse bench of all states in the South. President Bill Clinton appointed James Beatty, who is eligible to retire in 2014.  If he does, North Carolina would have no African American representation. Furthermore, 17 years have passed since the last time an African American was appointed.

We are the nation's 10th largest State with a 22% African American population, but in our history we have had only two African Americans to serve as federal District Court Judges. The two, Richard Erwin and James Beatty, were appointed to serve in the Middle District of North Carolina. Not one African American has ever served as a Judge in either the Eastern or Western Districts. In particular, it is an obscenity that there has never been an African American Federal Judge in the Eastern District where roughly half of North Carolina's African American population resides, North Carolinians who have never been represented on their federal District Court. This exclusion is unacceptable and an embarrassment to this State and its African American community.

As you know, President George Bush nominated nine individuals to North Carolina District Courts and each one of those nominees was white and only one was a woman. Thus far, based upon your recommendations, President Barack Obama has appointed two Whites to seats on North Carolina's federal bench. As North Carolina's elected Senators who are responsible for making nominations to the President, we demand you represent all your constituents and change the racial disparities which presently exist within our federal court system.  We implore you to support an African American for the third appointment and ensure equity in future appointments.

Yours in the Spirit of Truth and Justice,

Signature

Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II

President, North Carolina NAACP

NC Congress Senator Selling out the People.

Via the Progressive Pulse,

Kay Hagan is introducing a bill today with her new chum, John McCain, to slash taxes on giant, profitable multi-national corporations. As we noted back in July after her speech to a pro-corporate think tank on the matter, this is the last thing our economy or tax system needs.

This is from that article:

“The bottom line on this matter is pretty simple:

1)      There is simply no end to the creativity of corporations and their tax lawyers when it comes to devising ways to avoid paying taxes (i.e. their fair share of the bill for our essential public services and structures);

2)      The last thing the American government or economy needs is another huge tax break for giant, profitable corporations; and

3)      Senator Hagan must know these truths and if she doesn’t, she needs to get up to speed real fast.”

Yes Hagen doesn’t care about the people, only the corps, that are handing her money under the table to do what they wish of her. She isn’t paying attention at all. Hello Hagan, Wake the Fuck UP… And smell the Bullshit…

I wonder how much does it cost to buy a Congressman/woman????

Hagan to Commemorate 10th Anniversary of 9/11 in Charlotte

In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001, Senator Hagan will attend a 9/11 tribute ceremony at the new Lincoln Heights Park in Charlotte. The construction of the park is part of the annual National Day of Service and Remembrance, an effort to equip more than 1 million Americans to serve their communities on September 11. Local nonprofit agency Hands On Charlotte brought together community volunteers to help build Lincoln Heights Park in the days leading up to the 9/11 anniversary.

In her speech, Senator Hagan, a member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, will honor the victims and heroes of 9/11, as well as the men and women who continue to serve our country abroad and at home. She will also discuss the National Day of Service and Remembrance and the importance of giving back to the community to honor the lives lost that day.

Form Letter Response from Hagan on the Marriage issue.

Dear Friend,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the Respect for Marriage Act of 2011. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this important issue.
The Respect for Marriage Act of 2011 (S. 598/H.R. 1116) was introduced in the Senate and the House of Representatives on March 176, 2011. The Senate bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The bill would repeal a provision in the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that prohibits states, territories, and Indian tribes from being required to recognize any public act or judicial proceeding recognizing same-sex marriage. Moreover, under this legislation federal law would recognize the marriage of a same-sex couple if they entered into that marriage in a state that recognizes same-sex marriage, or if same-sex marriage is legal in the state where they are from.
It is important to acknowledge that public opinion on this matter continues to evolve. I ultimately believe that the issue of same-sex marriage is fundamentally a state issue, and I understand the current law North Carolina has on the books that defines marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman. However, I do support protecting rights for individuals in same-sex partnerships when it comes to hospital visitation, financial matters, employment and housing. As I review legislation that comes before the United States Senate regarding these matters, I pledge to take your concerns into account.
Again, thank you for contacting my office. It is truly an honor to represent North Carolina in the United States Senate, and I hope you will not hesitate to contact me in the future should you have any further questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Kay R. Hagan
