RALEIGH -- Moral Monday protestors took their case to the Governor's office again Tuesday with a demand that Governor Pat McCrory call a special session to reconsider decisions; such as the one to not accept additional Medicare funding for the next three years and reducing unemployment benefits. The group also held a press conference at a local church. Rev. William Barber said that making changes from the current decisions would be the right things to do.
Barber says, "We have to call on this governor to do what is right. Because taking medicaid and unemployment from people in the midst of the season of Thanksgiving and Christmas is an exercise in hypocrisy 101."
The group presented petitions to the Governor asking for the change. He was not present at the time.
