The group did everything correctly: they reserved the location of the event for the entire forty days, held eye-catching signs, and passed out information about their cause. But the left will go to any extent to silence opposing viewpoints.
The companies of Hobbs Upchurch and Atlantic Corp are two of Marc Basnight’s biggest contributors. Atlantic Packaging Corp, based in Wilmington, is owned by Rusty Carter. His son Wes Carter works for Hobbs Upchurch & Associates, an Engineering firm based in Southern Pines. Rusty Carter, if you remember, is a friend of Mike Easley and was subpoenaed to the Board of Elections in connection with his contributions to Easley.
In 2008, the employees and family members of these two companies contributed $120,000 to Basnight’s campaign. What is odd is that extraordinary contributions are made by ordinary people with ordinary jobs. For instance, the Survey Manager of Hobbs Upchurch donated $8000 to Basnight in 2008 and he has been a regular contributor since 2000. According to Basnight’s BOE filings, Gary Culp, donated $8000 in 2000, $4000 in 2002, $2000 in 2004 and $8000 in 2008. Culp is listed in 2008 as living in Raeford. The average salary in Raeford is $36000. When contacted by phone and asked what compels him to contribute so heavily to Basnight, Culp responded “
“Well, we’ve been friends for awhile uh and and, uh, when we go out there, uh I try to frequent his restaurant. But that’s just that. That’s what we got.”

Keep up the great work Wake County newly elected school board and bring some conservative voice back to public education. Do not let up or allow the liberals to bring this down on you. Keep going straight ahead and make the changes "We the People" want and not a select few progressives want who have taken over our public education system for to long.
