[TriLUG] Call and urge Perdue to veto H.129 or it becomes law tonight!

[matt at noway2.thruhere.net]

And effectively hog tying the most likely source of potential competition
isn't likely to help bring any about either.

As you evaluate the merits of this bill and decide whether or not to call
as yourself the following:
1)Who sponsored the bill and what was their motivation to do so?
2)It is being touted as a "jobs creation" bill, is it really or do they
just think were that stupid?
3)Why is there so much concern about preventing something that is
currently a non-issue?
4)What organizations appear to be supporting the bill and who has been in
opposition to it.
5) Consider the fact that this is being brought up by the same legislature
that while facing tough budget years wants to spend millions of dollars to
push their "moral" view while firing school teachers, claiming that this
is what the PEOPLE on NC are demanding.
