WILMINGTON, NC, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 -- David Perry learned to cherish the ideas of liberty and limited government growing up in New Hampshire. He found many people with similar views in the Republican Party when he ran for a seat on the school board in New Hanover County, NC.

But he soon found himself in conflict with the majority on the school board. For example, when some members wanted him to vote for a pilot program exposing students to AI, he voted against the program in an attempt to protect student privacy. When members representing both parties fight over books and curriculum, Perry tries to shift the conversation to defending students' rights of free expression.

Copy and paste the form letter below into your email, and fill in the brackets. Modify the text if you choose, but remember to be cordial and respectful. The five Republican NC House members who are currently either expected to not vote to override, or are not strong "yes" votes, are listed below, along with their email address. We will update this list if anything changes.

Dear Representative [Representative's Last Name],

I am writing as a concerned citizen from [Your District, County, City, and/or State] to urge you to vote in favor of overriding Governor Josh Stein's veto of the constitutional carry legislation. >

As a Republican lawmaker, your support for Second Amendment rights is crucial to protecting the freedoms of law-abiding North Carolinians. Constitutional carry would affirm our right to self-defense without unnecessary government barriers, aligning with conservative values of individual liberty and personal responsibility. Overriding this veto would send a strong message in defense of our constitutional protections.

Please stand with your constituents and vote yes to override the veto. I look forward to your leadership on this important issue.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
