Letter: ​N.C. voters should determine elections

TO THE EDITOR:

Your readers should know there’s a statewide movement afoot — for the voters to determine who controls our elections.

The question for readers is: do you agree, or disagree, that North Carolina voters should have a chance to join with the overwhelming national majority who’ve already approved that:

A. Artificial entities such as corporations do not have constitutional rights.

B. Money is property — not free speech; it must not to be used to determine the outcome of elections.

Our intent is to engage enough public support that the legislators in Raleigh will recognize the wisdom in allowing “The People” to vote in November 2018 on a ballot measure.

N.C. residents can participate at various levels:

(1) Sign a petition: http://www.ncwethepeople.org/ncwtp-online-petition.php

(2) Send persuasive emails to their legislators

(3) Attend press conferences

(4) Recruit a favorite nonprofit organization to become a co-sponsor with the current 18 sponsoring groups in our coalition.
