Liberty First Grassroots in NC Holds Training Workshop Organized by Sue Butcher
With 22 citizens from NC attending a Liberty First training workshop in February, concerned citizens were waiting to be engaged. Sue Butcher said she remembers "making 2 decisions that day; one was to create a day to meet again and the second happened moments later when Jim Womack, spokesperson for Conservative Coalition NC ( CCNC ) arrived to speak to the group. I remember Jim discussing with me what kind of action day could Liberty First Grassroots create to take Patriots to a new level of Community Engagement. Jim asked: " Do you have a Legislative Action Day planned? " I said "no, but we will have one in place before we leave today."
Sue said, "What happened next? With my electronic device, I checked the calendar and picked a date, looked at the NC General Assembly website to see activities on that date and it was a go. As I shared to the Patriots before leaving that day Liberty First Grassroots would meet again one month later and in 2 months they would be participating in a Legislative Action Day."
What began as a seed grew with the leadership from Liberty First Grassroots Legislative Action Committee Chair, Joanne Empie, to include participation from across NC. They even had a concerned citizen from Myrtle Beach SC attend. The Legislative Action Committee was a 16 person team.
They accomplished something before their eyes they own as an experience and will continue to tweak and improve for future Legislative Action Days in the coming months. They encourage NC citizens to think about their passions and motivation and apply them productively in actionable ways to make a difference.
Sue Butcher said, "We can ALL be part of the solution in saving your Liberties in your Community, your County, your State, OUR America. Keep on keeping on."
