Hey there, amazing supporters!
I hope you're all doing great! I've got some important news to share about our petition. As of today, January 13, 2024, we've hit a milestone of 203 signatures – that's fantastic progress! However, with 1,488 folks having checked out our petition, that means only about 13.64% have signed it. We're also seeing a pretty cool sharing spirit – 122 of you have shared the petition, which is about 60.1% of our signers. That's amazing, and it really helps spread the word!
But here's the deal: we need to rally even more support if we're going to grab the attention of the North Carolina insurance board. This isn't just about homeowners; it's about everyone in our community. Increased insurance rates mean higher rents, less money to spend locally, and even a possible dip in property values. And let's not forget, we in North Carolina are already paying more than the average for homeowners' insurance. Ouch, right?
So Here’s What’s New: We’ve refreshed some key links in our petition to ensure everyone has access to the latest and most accurate information. It’s vital that these updated links get as much visibility as possible.

Your Share Counts More Than Ever: Every single share can reach hundreds, even thousands, of potential supporters. Think of it as casting a stone into a pond – the ripples can spread far and wide. So please, share and reshare these links. Talk about it with your friends, family, and community. Post it on your social media, send it in emails, or even chat about it over coffee.
We’re at a critical juncture, and it's our collective effort that will make the difference. The more noise we make, the more likely we are to bring about the change we desperately need. This isn’t just a petition; it’s a community movement, and every voice, every share, counts.
Together, We Can Make an Impact: We’ve got a strong community spirit here in North Carolina, and I know we can use it to push back against these unfair insurance rate hikes. Let's band together and show the power of our united voices.
Thank you for being a part of this crucial journey. Your support and action mean everything.
With a sense of urgency and community,
