| Collapse all
- EDUCATION. We must address the negative educational, behavioral health, and developmental impacts that are a direct result of how Covid-19 was managed. While many recognize in retrospect that the least vulnerable (children age 0 - 18 years) were subjected to policy decisions that did not make sense, the focus today must be on meeting the problems these policy decisions created head on. To do this effectively will require input from many stakeholders, with a primary focus on parent input.
- ECONOMY. From gas prices to groceries, inflation burdens everyone. Let's restrain government spending so that North Carolina taxes lower and citizens keep more of their hard earned money.
- FREEDOM OF SPEECH and CONSTRUCTIVE DEBATE WITHOUT CENSORSHIP; FREEDOM OF RELIGION; MEDICAL FREEDOM and PRIVACY in MEDICAL DECISION MAKING without FEAR of RETRIBUTION
