Maple Springs/Old Roughy Fire added 2 new photos.
If you live in the pre-evacuation area of the Maple Springs and Old Roughy fires please be ready to leave if you are asked to go. While leaving areas affected by wildfires watch out for snags (fallen trees caught up in other trees), they are extremely dangerous.
Happy Veterans Day to all who have served and all those who continue to serve in our military. Thank you for keeping us safe.
I'm looking forward to working with president- elect Donald J. Trump to build a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.
Since 2007, the VA may have misdiagnosed traumatic brain injuries for thousands of North Carolina veterans including nearly 3,000 in the Winston-Salem area. Diagnostic tools and treatment options for traumatic brain injuries have advanced significantly in the last decade. If you believe the VA may have misdiagnosed you, please contact the VA at call 1-800-749-8387. If you need any additional assistance, my staff may be reached at 1-800-685-8916.
I believe the American people deserve to have a full accounting of Secretary Clinton’s practices and a complete picture of her actions as Secretary of State. We should allow this to go through the complete processes, this time including all of the emails on Clinton’s server.

It is disgraceful that the government is asking veterans to repay their bonuses. We owe our veterans a debt of gratitude. It’s time to do the right thing and allow these vets to keep their bonuses. If not, Congress will fix this problem.
Obamacare is not working for North Carolina.
From the New York Times: "In Raleigh, N.C.,18 plans are available for 2017 from two insurers, but the premiums could be a substantial expense for some consumers. For a 53-year-old man with income of $53,000 a year, the cheapest midlevel silver plan will cost $714 a month, or $8,568 a year, according to the federal website, and no subsidy would be available."

This morning, I met with state officials and emergency management professionals about the Hurricane Matthew relief effort. Hurricane Matthew is a significant disaster for North Carolina and the devastation is substantial. If we work together, we can overcome it.

Tomorrow I'm participating in the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Charlotte Buddy Walk.
There are still too many barriers in our society that prevent Americans with Down Syndrome from realizing the full potential of their God-given gifts. Down Syndrome Awareness Month is a good time to remember that we must keep fighting to tear those walls down.
