Greetings Friend --



The Lord abundantly blessed our second annual Celebration of Carolina Values last night!



What a memorable event. We had a wonderful audience at the site of the live broadcast, Prime Barbecue in Knightdale. (Let’s just say if you haven’t tasted their intensely flavorful brisket yet, you haven’t truly lived.) We gathered out on the lawn beside a cathedral of tall pine trees with a soft chorus of crickets, twinkly lights overhead, and the stars above.It really was a magical evening. Nary a mosquito or cicada.Ah, autumn…



We enjoyed inspiring and informative messages by some extraordinary elected officials.North Carolina is truly blessed with great leaders! 



They stressed the need to battle for our values of life, family & religious liberty at this critical time in our nation’s history and to engage in this epic election.



Tami interviewed our honored keynote speaker, Gianna Jessen.Gianna has a truly remarkable faith and an ability to articulate it.Her story of surviving an abortion, and its aftermath, was heartbreaking, but her life lessons were heartwarming.Such rare authenticity. We were moved to tears and laughed out loud.



Gianna Jessen — “This is a war we are in… We need to not be passive. What’s so heartening about this night is that I’m surrounded by people who are actually doing something, but with such grace and such kindness and such courage…. With every life spared from abortion, generations are spared.” 









Feedback from a few of our supporters:



- “What an incredible Celebration tonight! Thank you to each of you at NC Values for your steadfast work for our state. You are empowering like-minded citizens of NC with tools to be able to engage and have an impact on what is taking place in our state. Other than casting a vote I always felt helpless or apathetic. But thanks to your communication and sharing of information, we can all roll up our sleeves and get to work alongside you. Truly a very special evening!”- Margaret M.

Remarks made by some of our fantastic speakers:



- Fred Von Canon, Candidate for State House District 35 — Tami Fitzgerald is a force of nature.



- State Senator Joyce Krawiec — We haven’t been able to get much done since Gov Cooper came into office. With a Governor Dan Forest, it’s going to be a completely different game…. Thank you Tami and the NC Values Coalition for what you do to support and protect the unborn.



- Speaker Tim Moore — I want to thank Tami Fitzgerald. So many people in this state have no idea of the time and the effort and the spirit with which you come and fight for the values that mean so much to North Carolina. I want to personally thank you for everything you do.



- Supreme Court Justice Paul Newby — What happens if you have courts that refuse to enforce the protections of these constitutions of your God-given rights? It’s vital that we have judges who understand and follow the law.”



- State Treasurer Dale Folwell — It’s not easy to receive awards like this.It’s the spouses of public servants that we’re standing on the shoulders of.



- Congressman Richard Hudson — I want to thank every supporter of NC Values Coalition for all you do to stand up for family values, defend life and support religious freedom.



- State Senator Phil Berger — I want to thank the NC Values Coalition. The work you do is timely, persuasive and unbelievably important.I cannot overstate that point. Tami Fitzgerald and her team have done an amazing job. They’ve stayed true to time-honored, traditional beliefs… They’ve been the voice for North Carolina’s families and communities of faith.I cannot thank them enough. 



- E.C. Sykes, Candidate for NC Secretary of State — NC Values and Tami Fitzgerald are leaders standing for our values.You can count on them to stand even when the culture pushes against them. We are grateful for their bold stand, their sacrifice and consistency.



- Lt. Governor Dan Forest, Candidate for Governor — We can’t afford another 4 years of a Governor who undermines these values. A Governor who orders churches closed, and who vetoes a bill that would protect a baby born alive after a failed abortion.



- Senator Thom Tillis: Thank you all for being a part of the Celebration of Carolina Values. We must celebrate our shared values of hard work, family, and most importantly faith. Those values are being tested now more than ever.



- Congressman Dan Bishop - I support the NC Values Coalition because their unwavering commitment to life, liberty and family has never been more important than now.



- Senator Ted Cruz - The President’s decision to nominate Judge Barrett to the US Supreme Court may well have been the most important decision of his presidency. 



- Mark Robinson, candidate for Lt. Governor —Let’s vote our values and move this state forward.



- Congressman Mark Walker — George Washington knew that if this country was going to be great, the power was not to come from top down, it had to come from we the people.There are many in government that would like to silence your voices.That’s why it’s time more than ever to get out and vote…. I urge you this evening to engage, make a difference.NC Values is making a huge difference both in Raleigh and in DC.Both on the state level and the national level.





If you missed our Celebration program online last night, we are going to rebroadcast next week on October 15th at 7:00pm. Details soon!
