3rd District GOP steps into presidential election protest
January 6, 2021 is expected to be a big day in our nation’s capital. The Congress will gather to attempt to ratify the results of the Electoral College vote. It’s been made clear that a substantial number of Members of Congress will be protesting the election results. If the Republican protest of the College’s vote is successful, the election — for the first time in 200 years — could be thrown to the US House for a final decision.
On December 18, North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District GOP governing body passed a resolution endorsing the protest of the November 3rd election results AND that of the Electoral College.
In the resolution, the leaders ask North Carolina’s entire congressional delegation to “reject the elections” in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada when their Electoral College reports are officially presented to the Congress.
The 3rd district includes a lot of coastal North Carolina, as well as some of the state’s northeastern counties. The district is represented in Congress by Republican Greg Murphy.
So far, we’re able to confirm that Republican congressmen Ted Budd and Dan Bishop — as well as newly-elected Republican Madison Cawthorn — are on board with the protest.
If only we could find some Republicans who are not threatened by China Mitch McConnel in the Senate to protest the election there. The House is not really a concern but the Senate seems to be where this whole scheme will be thwarted because we just don’t have enough people who believe in the Constitution and fair, legal elections.
Please send this on to your state House and Senate representatives. The NCGA GOP can and should collectively support this protest and demand Burr and Tillis to join in.
My question is Greg Murphy sign on to the protest? I am a new resident of District 3 but lived here when Walter B Jones was our representative. I have no clue of anything Representative Murphy has done to aid our President in his quest for Making America great again. Seems to me that our representative has gone with the flow and to heck with his constituents. I have not heard of any time that Dr Murphy has spoken out, but he has voted with the bunch of Republican RINOS…the entire House of Representatives have been stricken mute pretty much since Trump was elected. Shame on you!
Fedupoldwoman, I suggest that you are very wrong. Dr Murphy has brought an open, freshness to District 3 tho most of us respected Walter Jones and his service one rarely heard from him or saw him. Greg Murphy, on the other hand, has established 4 Constituent service offices, is often in the field when not in DC, published a regular Newsletter (get on his mailing list via his official website) and, as a Physician, will be doing another COVID-19 update Town Hall this evening. He cares about his District, the Constitution, his role in the scheme of things and I suggest your opinions (which you are entitled to) are in the minority.
Outstanding. What I have heard here in Moore County about Mr. Murphy I like. I would suggest that our NCGA needs to sign on. If the final election decision comes back to state legislatures, they will be casting the deciding vote. As things now stand, I have no confidence that they will follow the clear will of the people of North Carolina. The Never-Trumpers in the NCGOP have never really gone away, but they have benefitted from Trump’s popularity in the recent election.
Murphy voted to override the President’s veto of the NDAA. I expect that garbage from the likes of McHenry, Holding, And Foxx but Murphy owes an explanation.
Murphy most certainly did. So what would he tell us that gives any credibility to the $trillions sent to foreign govts/countries? Planned Parenthood? Pakistan gender studies? Border walls for other countries but not our own? And lest we know why Kennedy Ctr (CLOSED) received $millions. Natl Endowment for Arts (CLOSED) $millions?
Is all this by chance, we are now ‘back open’ to China and foreign countries doing biz as usual? Do those foreign $$ somehow, someway make their way back to the politicians? I suspect so.
I heard Murphy speak in person during his campaign. He talked the conservative talk. However, I don’t see Walter Jones ever voting for this Bill and should not have. Neither should Murphy.
WHY are Amn taxpayers on the hook for these $trillions? I’m dang disgusted with USA spending, borrowing, national debt.
If there is a God, Bob Orr, and his jealous followers, will burn in hell.
What did happen to Bob Orr? I recall his early work at the Institute for Constitutional Law in Raleigh. I was one of seven plaintiffs suing the state over incentives given to Dell for their short-lived facility near Winston-Salem. Orr was a rare opponent of corporate welfare back then. Now he seems to be a statist liberal like all the rest. Very disappointing.
And if you didn’t know, the $1800 to illegal immigrant families was co-sponsored with Marco Rubio by our own dear ole friend, none other than, conservative Thom Tillis…..can we recall this jackass?
When will North Carolina’s grassroots conservatives finally realize that most of our state’s elected Republican officeholders are duplicitous RINOs who will not support Trump and fight the Washington Establishment. We worked our socks off for these fakes in the last election and they pay us no mind.
Speak truth Stan. When? I’m there. How NCGOP expects to elect future candidates will be challenging. Would Brannon have been a worse Senator?
I feel compelled to share this quote. ” Republicans in both chambers of the U S House and Senate have the moral right and responsibility to fight against this fraud during their vote on January 6.”
With the exception of just a couple, the entire NC GOP delegation will betray all of us and live happily ever after in the DC Swamp they helped to create and enjoy so much.
You’re right. I won’t be supporting any of the NC GOP delegation frauds. It’s time to rally around the trusted and to jettison the scumbags. I’ve reached my betrayal limit.
