Call Gov. McCrory NOW!

Download this Legislative Issue Alert on Cuts to Unemployment Insurance and call Governor McCrory right away!

Call Governor Pat McCrory at 919-733-5811.

Tell him that unemployed workers should not be made to pay a debt owed by North Carolina employers. Tell him to reject the benefit cuts as fundamentally unfair and terrible economic policy, not only for the unemployed personally, but also for NC's overall economy.

And in case you haven't seen it yet, please watch and share this video of NC Stories of Life on Unemployment:

He cares about big banks and big business. Period. Don't fool yourself into thinking that Pat McCrory is anything but another corporate tool.

that the idiot Gov can be removed once NC folks see that he's a fucking moron and needs to be sent to prison for 300 years doing nothing but pick up sticks and put it up his own ass. Daily.

No recall law.

There is an impeachment provision... but the chances of that happening are as slim as the republicans passing a recall law.

no voice mail, just call back after 8 am during business hours, and "good-bye"
i also shared the video on fb. tried downloading the alert, but adobe stalls my little old computer. i'll try again later when i don't have so many windows open.

this is one of the meanest and stupidest laws ever. and they're just getting warmed up!

You'd think with what we pay these louse, they could afford an answering svc. But then again, this cretin probably doesn't want to hear from people. All the more reason to call, IMO

"i know i didn't just sit idly by"

We can't afford to do that - especially as 2014 approaches. We have to 'get the red out' of NC!
