Jason Wunsch

The biggest obstacle to Representative Paul "Skip" Stam being the next N.C Speaker of the House is now three months away, November 6th, 2012. Voters in District 37 will have the opportunity to prevent the Architect of Amendment One from continuing to push his policies through the North Carolina Legislature. One of the very important things at stake is our public schools. Represtative Stam has continually attempted to privatize public education, but has so far failed to have any of his legislation approved. Another term will give Representative Stam ample time to create yet another tax incentive for parents to pull their children out of public schools. As Speaker of the House, the influence Stam carries will be far reaching. He succeeded in writing discrimination into the Constitution, he succeeded in destroying the Racial Justice Act, he succeeded in ensuring that a mistaken vote ushered in Fracking and he will succeed in dismantling our public education system.

Running Against the Architect of Amendment One by Jason Wunsch Democratic Candidate N.C House District 37

Many tears have been shed over Tuesday's passage of Amendment One in North Carolina. I would argue these tears have been for a good reason. As I have posted on this site and in social media, the collateral effects of this amendment will now plague our state for years to come. All is not lost. Voters have the power to hire and fire their elected officials. The one I am running against is the co-author and co-sponsor of Amendment One. While Tuesday may have appeared to be a victory to my opponent, a certain number had to have caught his attention. 57% of Wake County voted against Amendment One.

The battle is not lost. Unfortunately, it will now be fought through petitions and court cases. However, on November 6th, voters of District 37 will have a choice whether to allow the architect of Amendment One to keep drafting Bills in the N.C House of Representatives. I believe a change in leadership in this District is long overdue.
