Senator Kay Hagan once again voted against the
interest of North Carolina constituents.
She voted to expand universal background checks on gun purchases even
though both sides of the aisle concede that this wouldn’t have stopped the
Newtown massacre.
What is especially significant about this vote is
the condescending way she and her staff treated concerned citizens who opposed
this bill. Grass Roots North Carolina
reported the following incident:
US Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC, GRNC-1) plans to vote for the
Toomey-Manchin “compromise” amendment to S. 649 which will come up for a vote
possibly as early as tomorrow. After months of sitting on the fence and testing
the political waters, Sen. Hagan and her office staffers are no longer hiding
behind vague comments as to her position on the bill. Several GRNC members have
called Senator Hagan’s office today and the response from her staff was united:
Senator Hagan will vote for the Toomey-Manchin
amendment to S. 649. When several GRNC members pointed out over the phone that
it may cost Hagan their votes in her re-election campaign next year, the answer
from her office was simple: “you probably wouldn’t vote for her anyway”…
We need a recall mechanism. There is only one way to get rid of rogue senators like Kay Hagan, and that is repealing the 17th Amendment
