Dear Representative:
Rep. Deborah Ross, chair of the House Judiciary I Committee, is
stalling about scheduling SB 928, "The Castle Doctrine" for a
committee hearing. I urge you to use all your influence to persuade
her to schedule it for a fair and honest hearing. It is too important
that this worthy bill that will protect our citizens from dangerous
criminals and abuses of the legal system after a case of self defense
be passed into law.
The Castle Doctrine is an important concept that has proven effective
in the protection of citizens in the number of states that have
already implemented it. It is vital that you throw your influence
behind the interests of the honest citizens of this state and allow
them to protect themselves from criminals.
I trust that you wish to protect the lives and interests of the law
abiding voters of North Carolina rather than enable the criminal
element. I will be following your actions on this bill through Grass
Roots North Carolina.
Sincerely,
A Concerned North Carolina Voter
