The Regulators Documentary Promo
The Regulators documents a pre-Revolutionary resistance movement that flourished in the colony of North Carolina. Living in a time fraught with rampant abuses of taxation and widespread corruption in the courts, the Regulation supporters petitioned that the government merely follow the law. After years of abuse their opposition finally led to a showdown with Governor Tryon at the Battle of Alamance on May 16, 1771. The movement may have met an ill-fated end that day but these sons of liberty were not forgotten. The Revolutionary movement learned from their successes and failures and applied the lessons as the next chapter of American history was written.

12-yr-old takes on NC Governor re. voting rights | Story of America #102
| 12-year-old Madison Kimrey of Burlington founded NC Youth Rocks after the North Carolina legislature passed voting restriction laws targeting young people, women, minorities, and the poor.
The law appears to be designed to create long lines at the polls — especially in more populous, urban areas — by cutting early voting and making the voting process more time consuming (this was the formula that created 8-hour waits in Florida for the 2012 election, as a FL election official testified to the House Elections Committee in March 2013). Also, the law requires voters to produce a photo ID, but student IDs are not accepted, even if issued by a state university.
The same law does away with disclosure requirements for political advertising and increases the limit on campaign contributions. Also, the law does away with same-day registration during early voting, which had been popular with African Americans and other groups who had previously not engaged in the democratic process at the same level as white voters had. The US Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit under the Voting Rights Act.
In this speech Kimrey takes exception to the end of a program by which 16 and 17-year-olds pre-registered to vote when getting their drivers license or through school programs. Madison's FB page:
As NC state Sen. Josh Stein (D) argues in our upcoming feature-length film, People come into contact with the government when they get their drivers license. No one has been accused of voting before they are 18, so I'd like to know why we're not encouraging young people to engage in the democratic process.
NC Republicans have soured on pre-registration in recent years because polling data shows that young people tend to vote for Democrats. If young people in North Carolina get their drivers license before the age of 18, as many do, they will have to make an additional contact with the government to register to vote. This is seen as advantageous to Republicans, as a percentage of young people will fail to do so and not be eligible to vote until they do.
Meanwhile, a strict government ID requirement in order to vote — part of the same omnibus voting restriction law passed in July of 2013 — will impact young people who do not wish to get their drivers license, or, simply cannot afford a car. Student ID's are not accepted under this law. So young people in this category will also need to apply to the government for a photo ID in order to vote.

From Burlington's local newspaper:
Hundreds of people packed downtown Burlington's amphitheater Monday night, spilling out into the Historic Depot and along the Front Street sidewalk to get an earful of Alamance County's first Moral Monday rally.
Local and state officials charged an amped-up, sign-waving crowd to continue registering their discontent with the current North Carolina leadership, regarding the state's failure to accept Medicaid expansion money, the rejection of federal unemployment insurance funds, cuts to teachers and educators, and legislation NAACP leaders say suppresses voting rights.
Barrett Brown, education chair for the Alamance County branch of the NAACP, asked the crowd which members were veterans. Several raised their hands. He asked who were teachers. Half of the crowd stood. He asked who'd participated in Moral Monday events across the state. The crowd erupted.
People of Alamance County are paying attention, Brown said.
Madison Kimrey, Burlington resident and founder of NC Youth Rocks, said Gov. Pat McCrory's voting rights laws sought to reduce voting participation in the younger generation and dismissed the youth's voices.
Ellie Kinnaird, retired state senator from Orange County and founder of the NC Voter ID Project, asked everyone in attendance to make sure their neighbors were registered to vote, and knew which precinct in which to vote come November.
Carolyn Smith, state director of Working America, said 1,200 people in Alamance County are unemployed and 2,600 will lose their emergency unemployment benefits by the end of the year due to the state's rejection of federal unemployment insurance funds.
Rodney Ellis, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, said, We are witnessing a mass exodus of quality educators, due to cuts to education and the phasing out of tenure.
Public school educators aren't failing North Carolina's children, Ellis said. Politicians are.
Matthew Antonio Bosch, director of Elon University's Gender & LGBTQIA Center, encouraged those at the rally to seek out people who are different from themselves and become their ally, because allies matter.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Piedmont Triad (or simply the Triad) is a north-central region of the U.S. state of North Carolina that consists of the area within and surrounding the three major cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point. This close group or triad of cities lies in the Piedmont geographical region of the United States and forms the basis of the Greensboro–Winston-Salem–High Point Combined Statistical Area. As of 2012, the Piedmont Triad has an estimated population of 1,611,243 making it the 33rd largest combined statistical area in the United States. The area of the triad is approximately 5,954 square miles.The metropolitan area is connected by Interstates 40, 85, 73, and 74 and is served by the Piedmont Triad International Airport. Long known as one of the primary manufacturing and transportation hubs of the southeastern United States, the Triad is also an important educational and cultural region and occupies a prominent place in the history of the American Civil Rights Movement.The Triad is not to be confused with the Triangle region (Raleigh–Durham–Chapel Hill), directly to the east.
