In a stunning and very public abuse of power during Tuesday's committee meeting, the Democrat leadership (Ray Rapp, Madison Co. and Bob England, Rutherford Co.) not only refused to hear testimony from anyone who opposed the Sex-Ed bill (H879), they didn't even allow a formal vote to be taken! "Why not?" you ask? Read what the bills author, Rep. Susan Fisher (D) of Buncombe County told the Charlotte Observer after the fiasco took place:
Fisher acknowledged after the hearing that the bill may not have had the votes to pass the committee, and moving it ahead may give time for support to grow."I am not a gambler," she said. "We want to give people a chance to think about what they heard and see if it makes any difference down the road." (you can read the article here)
