One PO'd Conservative

I am a retired Engineer who grew up in the mountains of North Carolina. Although I now live in another state I own a home and other property in North Carolina. I expect to reestablish my residence in North CarIolina in 2015.

I am a moderate conservative concerned about the direction of our National Government. I am perhaps even more concerned about the transformation of the Republican Party in North Carolina & other states who have fallen under the influence of 'big money' provided by the Koch Brothers & their ilk.

Here in North Carolina Art Pope has outdone the Koch Brothers taking effective control of the entire State Government by deploying his vast fortune to support "republican" candidates that will follow his lead. His degree of control over the State's Agenda & direction is unprecedented. This is neither healthy nor productive for the State we all love.

I am not sure that one concerned individual with limited time & resources can help bring about change. We shall see.
