March On Raleigh ^

[MitchellC]

Due to the amazing energy of the
9-12 March on Washington, we are

BRINGING IT HOME TO
NORTH CAROLINA!

North Carolina FreedomWorks is sponsoring a

“Taxpayer March On Raleigh”

The 11-14 event will begin at 11AM and include a
march and rally.

The event will begin on Halifax Mall, the large grassy area
located between the Legislative Building and the Legislative
Office Building.

As FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe is fond of saying, “Government goes to those
who show up.” We showed up to march on our nation’s capitol. It’s time to bring it home
to our state capitol!
