John Locke Foundation experts have helped make the case against the Obama administration’s health care proposals during speeches and media appearances throughout North Carolina this week. Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar Roy Cordato served as a featured speaker Monday and Tuesday during Americans for Prosperity North Carolina’s “Hands Off My Health Care” bus tour. Research Director and Local Government Analyst Michael Sanera joined the tour for Wednesday’s stops, and Policy Analyst and Research Editor Jon Sanders is enjoying today the second of his three days as a tour speaker. Program Associates Joyce Pope and Michael Moore also logged time on the bus as it traveled across the state. Media coverage highlighting JLF involvement in the tour included the Burlington Times-News, Lexington Dispatch, Salisbury Post, and Sanford Herald. News 14 Carolina interviewed Sanera today for a health care story scheduled to run this evening, while Sanders’ latest TownHall.com column also focused on resistance to Obama’s proposals. That column led Sanders to a radio interview with WBAL in Baltimore. Meanwhile, JLF President John Hood debunked conspiracy theories about the health care protests during an interview Thursday with WTVD Television. Hood’s latest column on Obama’s health care plans attracted attention from Senate Republicans in their daily e-mail blast, and he also continued to share his expertise with readers of National Review Online’s “Critical Condition” blog. In a case of providing “yesterday’s news today,” a page-one article in today’s News & Observer mirrored Carolina Journal Managing Editor Rick Henderson‘s exclusive Thursday on the refusal of most members of North Carolina’s congressional delegation to hold health care town hall forums.
