Your answers to the Concerned Citizens Survey are pouring in…

And the results are not favorable to the Democrat agenda in Raleigh.

Here are a few highlights from the survey responses so far:

>> “Do you think North Carolina’s economy is improving or getting worse?”

• Getting worse - 90.8%
• About the same - 9.2%
• Improving - 0.0%

>> “What economic issue concerns you the most in North Carolina?”

• Government spending - 60.0%
• Taxes - 24.2%
• Immigration - 10.8%
• Annexation - 3.3%
• Education - 0.8%
• Cost of Health Care - 0.8%

>> “Do you think the budget crisis in North Carolina is due to a slow economy or from too much wasteful government spending?”

• Wasteful spending - 91.7%
• Slow economy - 5.8%
• Other - 2.7%

>> And a few of our favorite responses to the question, “If you could have a conversation with your local elected officials, what would you like to tell them?”

• “Stop wasting our money!” (About 70 of you said this!)
• “We as citizens tighten our belts…why doesn’t the government?”
• “What is REALLY happening with the ‘education’ lottery money?”
• “Stop spending. Listen to your constituents.”
• “Taxed. Enough. Already.”
• “Spending, not revenue, is the problem.”
• “I’m embarrassed by the state government of North Carolina.”
• “Listen to the people.”
• “STOP SPENDING!!!”

What would you say is the take-away message here for politicians and government officials? Ummm…maybe, Stop wasting our hard-earned money!

It’s not too late to voice your opinion on North Carolina government, politics, and the economy. What do you look for in a candidate for political office? If you could have a conversation with your local elected officials, what would you like to tell them?  (Colorful language is encouraged!) Ride the wave of populist anger sweeping the country. Raise your voice: Take the “Concerned Citizens Survey”!

And when we say that your voice will be heard, we’re not kidding! RunSmart2Win will hand-deliver the survey results to Legislative Office Building in Raleigh.

Don’t miss your chance to tell North Carolina’s politicians what’s on your mind!
