From Dallas Woodhouse at Americans for Prosperity North Carolina:
Former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory will be urging voters to contact their member of the General Assembly this week as part our effort to override Governor Perdue?s reckless veto of the Health Care Freedom Act. Click here to watch a special message from Pat McCrory. It is clear that the citizens of North Carolina want to be protected from President Obama?s overreach. If you haven?t yet, take action on this critical issue! Click here to send a message to your legislators urging them to override Gov. Perdue?s veto.
Pat couldn?t have said it better himself: ?A majority of states have challenged the worst parts of ObamaCare, and two federal judges have agreed that the bill is unconstitutional. The NC General Assembly overwhelmingly passed a bill to protect North Carolinians from a federal government mandate to buy health insurance and other unconstitutional parts of ObamaCare.
However, after a trip to Washington and meetings with big government liberals including President Obama, Governor Perdue vetoed this common sense legislation. I urge citizens to contact their members of the General Assembly and ask them to override the Governor?s veto.? It is clear Governor Perdue is standing with Obama over the interests of North Carolina citizens. With your help and the help of leaders such as Mayor McCrory, we can not only support this important piece of legislation, we can be influential factors in its passage.
Remember, while Governor Perdue has exercised a veto of this legislation, she can not veto the will of the people to be protected from Obamacare.

Thank you for your continued support and activism to protect economic freedom and prosperity across North Carolina. Together, we can make a difference.
John Locke Foundation experts and others from across the country also have explained to the governor why she had no constitutional grounds to veto House Bill 2.
