School boards and public education leaders agree: taking money away from public schools and giving it to millionaires to send their kids to private schools is a horrible idea.

The GOP Senate budget has thousands of dollars going to millionaires to keep their kids in private academies while veteran public school teachers get a $250 raise over 2 years. Let your legislators know you support strong teacher raises, not private school vouchers.

It only takes a moment for an accident to happen, for a child to find a gun, for someone to steal a gun. It only takes a moment to prevent it too.

I am profoundly grateful for the extraordinary courage of our American troops and allies as they stormed the beaches on June 6, 1944, turning the tide of WWII and securing freedom for millions of people here at home and abroad. - RC

And here they go with advice from election deniers and fraud perpetrators. Don’t be fooled. This isn’t about protecting elections. It’s about rigging them to help Republicans. - RC

Our public schools are under attack by a right-wing legislature that wants to choke the life out of public education.
I'm counting on you to help protect public schools in North Carolina.

This GOP plan doesn’t increase opportunity. They just want billions of $ going to private schools at the expense of public education so a millionaire gets thousands of $ to keep a kid already in a private academy while veteran teachers get a $250 raise. Shameful. - RC

The life of loyal sports fans can be cruel. lost 4 one goal games that felt nothing like a sweep. Ran into Robo-Goalie, bad bounces, injuries and a hot team. But with Coach & Front Office, strong core, cap space & Caniacs, mourning ends. Onward & Upward!

For your passion, your loyalty, and your support, thank you.

This Republican Senate budget is a historic disaster for public education. It fails to fund basic needs and will force school leaders to cut everything from bus routes to courses even though North Carolina can afford to do much more. 1/

Senate Republicans propose a pitiful 4.5% raise for teachers spread over 2 years while giving tax breaks and private school vouchers to millionaires. Disastrous. My budget proposes a much-needed 18% raise to keep quality teachers in the classroom. - RC

One more thing. ESPN announcers are extraordinarily biased against our . Griping about calls, extolling the talented Jersey and grudgingly acknowledging that “Carolina deserves credit.” Seriously dudes.
