NC Senate District 18 has three Republican candidates in the primary election. There’s one clear choice – Glen Bradley. Bradley is the only candidate with any experience in public office. In fact Bradley won his seat in House District 49 even though he was outspent by his Democratic opponent by a margin of 7 to 1.... Far too many politicians proclaim their support for the Constitution but their “support” translates into a campaign slogan devoid of substance. Not so with Bradley. As a member of the NC House he took his oaths to uphold the US Constitution and NC Constitution seriously.

Many supporters of Agenda 21 like to simply
ridicule their opponents by claiming that there's no evidence of any
United Nations (UN) programs being implemented. The reality is that
Agenda 21 (or the UN Agenda for the 21st Century) has been quietly implemented at the administrative or bureaucratic levels, especially in municipalities, since it's inception at the UN conference on Environment and Development held at Rio de Janeiro in June 1992. President George H W Bush signed the document along with representatives of 178 other nations.
Principle 5 from the Rio summit
is, “All States and all people shall cooperate in the essential task of
eradicating poverty as an indispensable requirement for sustainable
development, in order to decrease the disparities in standards of living
and better meet the needs of the majority of the people of the world.”
This goal of “eradicating poverty” does not translate into raising the
standard of living for the poor but lowering the standard of living for
the middle class. In part this is why “smart growth” seeks to force all
people into sub compact cities, eliminate private vehicle ownership and institute light rail even though no market demand currently exists for light rail in cities including Charlotte and Raleigh.

Founders Truth
February 20, 2012
This paper was submitted to the The Wake County Sustainability Task Force
It has long been known that liberty is tied to the institution of private property. The Decalogue codified private property in four words: “Thou shall not steal.” George Washington
“Private property and freedom are inseparable.” George Washington
“Private property must be secured, or liberty cannot exist.” John Adams
“I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.” James Madison
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to understand the contemporary view of sustainability in light of it’s origin with the United Nations. This contemporary understanding of sustainability will then be contrasted with liberty as defined by the US Founding Fathers. It will be argued that a proper understanding of traditional liberty includes private property rights – property rights are intrinsic to individual liberty. Both individual liberty and private property rights are antithetical to the modern notion of sustainability. ...

The entire premise of the “War on Terror” must be rejected. First and foremost it’s illegal and therefore illegitimate. Article I Section 8 of the Constitution states that Congress has the legal authority to declare war. Any war that’s undertaken without a declaration of war by Congress is illegal. This illegal practice of an executive or presidential war has characterized all US wars after World War II. President Eisenhower committed the US to the Korean War under the authority of the United Nations, not Congress.
Of course it’s absurd to maintain that the “War on Terror” could be legally declared by Congress since it’s impossible to legally declare war on an ideology or, as Ron Paul has stated, a tactic. Terrorism defined as either as ideology or tactic can not be vanquished by an illegal declaration of war. (In order to win the “War on Terror” would all references to the words “terror” and “terrorism” need to be removed from every...

 We the People
Where does sovereign power come from and to whom is it bestowed? In other words, from where does the government derive its power?
The short answer is that the government receives its power from the people. A common misperception is that America is a democracy. However, the truth is that the Founding Fathers established our country as a Constitutional Republic. In fact, the word “democracy” is not found in any of our founding documents or state constitutions.

James Madison, 1822
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Calvin Coolidge, Speech on 150th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence
"About the Declaration [of Independence] there is a finality that is exceedingly restful. It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."
