Likely it crashed due to the high amount of traffic from citizens contacting their legislators. Although I could see, based on the past history of our current NC General Assembly, why you would be suspicious. Additionally, I wouldn't be surprised if a hack brought it down. We're pissed and some of us, with exceptional feelings of disenfranchisement, would understandably use all the special skills we have to stop these power grabbing lunatics.

Without having the link to test, it's difficult to provide any significant help here.

Listed below are some things you can try.

1. Step away from the screen and step outside. Stress kills & can alter our ability to do many things. Try again after a change of venue. Many problems only need time to reach resolution.
2. Reboot. Try again.
3. Try connecting from a different device.
4. Test the site by plugging it into

Please post the link for future reference.

This group is filled with many compassionate & capable individuals who may have direct knowledge of the crazy machinations going on in the People's House in Raleigh right now, that I don't have. They may be able to give better answers than mine.

Never forget, we are here to support each other in these disappointingly dangerous times. ~Insert yoga breath here.~

For your own sanity and health remember NC is one of the original 13 colonies so we've had plenty of time to screw things up, historically speaking. Hang on. Don't let the craziness shake your resolve. We'll get through this.
Stay encouraged. I would hate to hear that you had a stroke or worse from getting your blood pressure up. We have to take care of ourselves so we live to fight another day. Forward together! Not one step back!

But please, post the link. Thank you.

Love, peace and shelter. L
