Rep. Heath Shuler's Federal Power Grab

Rep Heath Shuler of the 11th district of North Carolina has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that would prohibit the general assembly of individual states from redistricting. This bill mandates an independent commission to oversee what is a constitutionally protected prerogative reserved to the states. We are witnessing another federal power grab, and Heath Shuler is the culprit.


N.C. Freedom reports the following:

Mr. Shuler is introducing legislative that is not only unconstitutional; it is a direct assault on the voting rights of the people. This attempt to eliminate redistricting in the new state general assembly at the federal level is indicative on how corrupt Washington has become. It is a prime example why the people of North Carolina must stand up and defend our state’s rights against federal tyranny. So the question becomes one of purpose: what is the motive for Mr. Shuler to maintain a gerrymandered voting system that will not impact his next election?


H.R.453


Latest Title: To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment, to require States to conduct such redistricting through independent commissions, and for other purposes.


Sponsor: Rep Shuler, Heath [NC-11] (introduced 1/26/2011) Cosponsors (18)


Latest Major Action: 1/26/2011 Referred to House committee. Status: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.


Mike McIntyre (D-NC 7) is co-sponsoring this legislation along with 17 other traitors. I do not use this term lightly but let’s look at the definition of a traitor:


One who betrays one’s country, a cause, or a trust, especially one who commits treason.


These representatives have betrayed the trust of their constituents by trying to maintain a system of voter fraud to win elections.


Rep Altmire, Jason [PA-4] – 1/26/2011


Rep Baca, Joe [CA-43] – 1/26/2011


Rep Barrow, John [GA-12] – 1/26/2011


Rep Boren, Dan [OK-2] – 1/26/2011


Rep Boswell, Leonard L. [IA-3] – 1/26/2011

Rep Costa, Jim [CA-20] – 1/26/2011


Rep Cuellar, Henry [TX-28] – 1/26/2011


Rep Donnelly, Joe [IN-2] – 1/26/2011


Rep Holden, Tim [PA-17] – 1/26/2011


Rep Matheson, Jim [UT-2] – 1/26/2011


Rep McIntyre, Mike [NC-7] – 1/26/2011


Rep Ross, Mike [AR-4] – 1/26/2011


Rep Sanchez, Loretta [CA-47] – 1/26/2011


Rep Schiff, Adam B. [CA-29] – 1/26/2011


Rep Schrader, Kurt [OR-5] – 1/26/2011


The North Carolina General Assembly can address this issue by enacting a recall amendment to our state’s constitution through Article XIII.


Our new US House of Representatives can also take action under the Constitution:


Article I, Section 5, Clause 2: Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.


I think Mr. Shuler’s actions have earned him a place in history as the seventh member of the US House to be expelled by his peers.

If you want a tangible sign of the corruption and abuse by North Carolina Democrats, then take a look at the above map. This has to be one of the worst cases of gerrymandering in the history of the country; and Rep. Heath Shuler wants to protect it.

Reps. Kissell and Shuler Show Their True Colors

Reps. Larry Kissell and Heath Shuler of North Carolina showed their true colors, and it sure as hell wasn’t blue. These two lap dogs jumped into Pelosi’s purse when the votes to repeal Obamacare came up today. Sure, they voted against this monstrosity last year, when they weren’t needed. It was a cynical attempt to persuade their conservative constituents, that they were independent of their lords and masters in the leadership. And they gambled correctly.

Heath Shuler ran against the queen of mean for the party’s leadership. He lost miserably. Now, he’s trying to get back into Nancy’s good graces. Kissell on the other hand took a different approach. He became the regional whip. In other words he is the Sheriff of Nottingham in the southeast.

They say that a leopard can’t change his spots; well a blue dog just changed his colors.

Carolina representatives voted as follows:

For Repeal

• Renee Ellmers (R-NC-02)

• Walter Jones (R-NC-03)

• Virginia Foxx (R-NC-05)

• Howard Coble (R-NC-06)

• Mike McIntyre (D-NC-07)

• Sue Myrick (R-NC-09)

• Patrick McHenry (R-NC-10)

• Tim Scott (R-SC-01)

• Joe Wilson (R-SC-02)

• Jeff Duncan (R-SC-03)

• Trey Gowdy (R-SC-04)

• Mick Mulvaney (R-SC-05)

Against Repeal

• G.K. Butterfield (D-NC-01)

• David Price (D-NC-04)

• Larry Kissell (D-NC-08)

• Heath Shuler (D-NC-11)

• Mel Watt (D-NC-12)

• Brad Miller (D-NC-13)

• Jim Clyburn (D-SC-06)

Rep. Larry Kissell Refuses to Repeal Obamacare

Rep. Larry Kissell was one of four democrats who voted to advance a bill that would repeal Obamacare. But that is as far as he will go. His new job as regional whip has solidified his allegiance with San Fran Pelosi and her coterie of socialist usurpers. The concerns of Mr. Kissell’s constituents in the eighth district of North Carolina are secondary to his ambitions.


The Hill reports:


Rep. Larry Kissell (D-N.C.), one of 34 House Democrats who voted against healthcare last year, will not vote in favor of repealing the law when the new Republican majority brings it up for a vote next week.


"I am not going to vote to repeal it;" Kissell told The Hill, adding that despite his opposition to the measure, Democrats "put a lot of energy into this bill."


Kissell said he was pleased the new majority was bringing a repeal vote to the floor, but said a long and drawn out fight over healthcare will only serve to distract from what should be the top priority of the new Congress — the economy and jobs.


"Get it on the floor, let everybody vote, and then let's focus on the economy and get people back to work, because that's what the American people want us to do," he said.


Kissell was also one of 19 Democrats who voted against Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Wednesday. He voted for fellow North Carolina Rep. Heath Shuler (D).


"After the election, I felt that we as a party needed to look at what happened and seek out new leadership," Kissell said. "This was an opportunity to vote for someone else and demonstrate my belief that we need to move in a new direction."


Kissell is the fifth House Democrat who voted against healthcare who has pledged to not vote in favor of a full repeal. Reps. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), Daniel Lipinski (D-Ill.) and Shuler have all told The Hill they will not vote for repeal.



Had Kissell and all the other so-called blue dogs voted for Obamacare last year, they would’ve met the same fate as Rep. John Spratt in the 5th District of South Carolina.

So to all you “conservative” democrats: sit…roll over…now get into Princess Pelosi’s purse.
