I really enjoyed the B.J. Lawson BBQ event on Saturday. The brisket was delicious, and the conversation was enjoyable. I appreciate B.J. giving me the unexpected chance to introduce myself and mention my top campaign issues. That simple introduction broke the ice for me and made for a wonderful evening of meeting some great people and talking about liberty.

Had an opportunity to meet my Republican opponent at the event. Mr. Beezley is a great guy who’s also passionate about changing the direction of government in N.C. Though we disagree on the role government should play in that change, I’m glad there’s people like Beezley putting their hat in the ring to get the self-serving establishment out of the legislature.

Wednesday’s coming, and I’m really looking forward to being part of the StopNCAnnexation Rally in Raleigh. I’ll be doused in sunscreen and ready to talk about meaningful annexation reform. Hopefully, I won’t forget to take my camera this time. (Darn it, Fernie! You were always there, and you always remembered! We miss you, and we’ll keep trying to fill your well-worn activist shoes.)

Then… Saturday, June 19, is the big COOKOUT at Pullen Park! Be sure to spread the word! The food and fun are free, and I’ll give a brief statement to talk about my campaign. Bring the whole family! I posted the details at the Meetup.com group, but RSVP there is optional: http://www.meetup.com/GoLiberty/calendar/13591665/

If you’d like to volunteer to help for the cookout, email me at stef@goliberty.net and I’ll let you know what tasks we still need covered.
