QUOTE: "We need to make sure we have an ambassador from our state that will stand on the border of North Carolina, keep the federal government at bay for its functions, but not intrude on us. There's no doubt we have to do that because they're going to keep on nipping and tucking at everything that they possibly can until we have a national government, not a federal government. We must stand up for the rule of law and protect our individual state." — Brannon at forum in Huntersville.
