Senator Burr (R-NC) Slow Walkinig the Russian Investigation

Hello Fellow NC's,

Sen Burr is slow walking the Russian Investigation. We have to keep the pressure on him to do his job. I founded an activist group Indivisible Charlotte. We are asking for donations to raise 3 billboards. They will be located in Charlotte, Winston-Salem Triad area and Wash. DC. Our goal is $15,000. If you can help with $5, $10 or $20. We would appreciate it. You can donate via our gofundme page - bit.ly/RussianInvestigation

Our group has had prior success with the Billboards. Back in March/April we raised 2 billboards targeting Tillis/Burr for not holding public Town Hall meetings during their recess. Instead they evaded NC Voters. We received a lot of media coverage over this, but we need to keep the pressure on.

If you can help, we would appreciate it.

Let me know if you have questions or comments.

Regards,
Scott Huffman

And his staff member very rudely pointed out to me that he's not up for reelection until 2022, and thus he doesn't give a flying fig newton about anybody's opinion about anything....

She was a lovely example of a public servant, let me tell you!

Yep - this is why we need to keep applying the pressure. My group Indivisible Charlotte has logged an average of 500 calls a day. 1000's of postcards, letters. You can tell it's having an effect. Look at the rudeness of his staff.

Senate and House will accomplish little or nothing.
