CALL TO ACTION!

Unmask Our Children - Call to Action!

On Wednesday, July 28 there is a special session of the WS/FC Board of Education to discuss Gov. Cooper's recommendation that local school boards in NC make the decision whether or not to require students to wear masks in schools starting in the fall semester.

*PLEASE SAVE THE DATE! We will be in touch with how to show up (signs, if they are having public comment, etc.).

Mask proponents are making their voices heard! We need you to help us fight for the rights of families to make their owns decisions on this issue.

*TODAY, please email school board members, and say:
"My son (niece, grandchild, etc.) is at (school name) and I do not want him/her wearing a mask to school. Families should be able to make these choices independently. Please do not mandate mask-wearing in WS/FC schools. Thank you. (Your name)"
... or something similar.

Here are the email addresses to send the letter.

All of our children are affected by what the public school system does. We thank Dana Caudill Jones and other Republicans for consistently standing up for what's right for students. Thank you for your giving your time to this very important issue.

Here are a few of the weapons that you could win: a 12 gauge Beretta Silver Pigeon; a Daniel Defense DDM4V7 .233/556; a Browning Hells Canyon 300 Win; a 12 gauge Franchi Affinity 3; a 9 mm Kimber EVO SP Compact; a 7 mm-08 Bergara Hunter; a .223/536 S&W MP 15; a 12 gauge Rock Island Armor VR80; a 9 mm Sig Sauer P365; a 9 mm Glock 19 Gen 5; a .22lr Henry Golden boy; a 20 gauge ATI Over under; a .357 Taurus Tracker; a 9 mm Beretta APX; a 6.5 mm Creedmoor; a .308 Savage Axis XP Package with scope, and many more!

Last year, 20 individuals, across the state, each won a magnificent firearm, during last year’s gun raffle, for the defense of the families, their homes, their communities, and their county. And their participation in the raffle helped the NCGOP sweep the judicial races in 2020.

This year, you could be the winner as you help place conservative judges in our courts.
