Many of us have been moved to tears and anger after watching interviews with those who participated in the Moral Monday demonstration yesterday. Their inspiring actions are beginning to create a powerful shift in the political conversation here in North Carolina, and maybe even around the world.
As we move forward to press the case for freedom and fairness, let's keep focused on the root cause of the problems we're facing. Our Republican-controlled legislature is not a legitimate government. Their supermajority power came through rigged elections in every House and Senate district across the state. They barely won the popular vote, but still ended up with nearly three quarters of the seats in the legislature.
Our Republican-controlled legislature is not a legitimate government. We have no obligation to obey or respect the laws they pass or the actions they take. On the contrary, we have a moral responsibility to resist them at every turn.
