Friend --

If you were a Republican ad maker, you LOVED the climate change town hall. If you didn't watch it, you only missed the same serious authoritarian tendencies that Democrats decry. It's the LAST DAY of early voting, although there are a few counties whose hours will be extended due to Dorian. If you've voted, great: come help get others to the polls. Haven't voted yet? Go today or make a plan to go on Election Day. Some hours have been changed, so click this link to see any updates to your county <[link removed]>.

WHAT HAPPENED

STORIES FROM THE NATION

What happened at the environmental town hall that put the Democrats' extremism on display? Let's see:

- Sen. Sanders wants to ban fracking <[link removed]> and the lower carbon emissions and jobs that come with it. Fox Business <[link removed]>
- Like hamburgers? Mayor Buttigieg thinks you're a problem. Washington Free Beacon <[link removed]>
- Sen. Harris wants to ban plastic straws. Washington Free Beacon <[link removed]>
- Sen. Warren wants to eliminate one of the best sources of energy for future power needs. Washington Examiner <[link removed]>

Population control is something the oppressive Chinese government did for decades, and the practice is associated with racism and eugenics. Today's extreme environmentalist Democrats claim having kids is bad for the environment. Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders seemed to endorse this horrific policy. National Review <[link removed]>

I missed this story myself, but there was news that the Trump administration is refusing to fund Medicaid expansion. Why is this a big deal and is it a win for taxpayers? The Federalist <[link removed]>

As expected, Speaker Pelosi and Sen. Schumer are joining their extremist colleagues on pushing for gun control after the summer recess. This comes on the heels of Robert...er, Beto O'Rourke endorsing a mandatory gun confiscation <[link removed]> and VP Joe Biden suggesting we ban magazines that hold multiple bullets <[link removed]>. Good luck! National Review <[link removed]>

STORIES FROM NC

Because Governor Cooper is still holding the budget hostage, legislative Republicans are passing the budget in smaller chunks. As long as Cooper keeps up his Medicaid expansion ultimatum, Republicans are going to keep doing what they're doing. The Laurinberg Exchange <[link removed]>

Now this story isn't from NC, but it is certainly related. Democrats like to complain that NC's per pupil funding isn't high enough despite evidence there isn't a positive correlation between PPF and student achievement. The Obama admin threw billions at failing schools with no difference in achievement <[link removed]>. So what happens when a school system spends $42K per student? NJ Left Behind <[link removed]>

Responsible Republican budgets have led to another surplus, this one to the tune of almost $900 million. While some might be filed away into the state's Rainy Day Fund, those who paid state taxes this year could see a refund of up to $125 per person. It's your money after all. Forbes <[link removed]>

As mentioned above, Democrat presidential candidates are pushing an all-out assault on the 2A. Federal Democrats have vowed to tackle gun control when they come back from the summer recess. So how does Roy Cooper fit into all that and how can we apply it to 2020? The News & Observer <[link removed]>

CLOSING THOUGHTS

Two things to close with this week:

1. We've been working on this for a while, but it's finally here: we have merchandise. It's only our initial offering of stuff, but lots more will come available soon. Check out the NCGOP Shop <[link removed]>. 

2. This week revealed the importance of winning judicial races and keeping control of the state legislature post-Census <[link removed]>. Not going to sugarcoat this: the ball had been dropped in 2016 and we had an own-goal in 2018. That WILL NOT HAPPEN in 2020. If you haven't started educating literally everyone about the importance of state courts, do it now. Get to know all eight candidates running for the Supreme Court of North Carolina (SCONC) and the NC Court of Appeals (COA). A picture of them is below.



Enjoy your weekend!
