Call to action from a sister organization


We have been contacted by the NC chapter of Protect the Pre-Existing, a group who is understandably alarmed by the proposed changes to health care protections before the U.S. Senate.  Their goal is to ask our Senators to affirm protections of health care coverage for Americans with pre-existing conditions.

Here is their call script:

Richard Burr

  • Asheville: (828) 350-2437
  • Winston-Salem: (336) 631-5125
  • Wilmington: (910) 251-1058
  • Rocky Mount: (252) 977-9522
"Hello! My name is ____ and I’m a constituent of Senator Burr.  I’m concerned that the American Health Care Act, which would get rid of protections for the 1.6 million North Carolinians with pre-existing conditions, will pass in the Senate.  I implore Senator Burr to never vote for any legislation that would get rid of these protections.  Thank you and have a great day!"

Hi Bluesky! Our group, the Blowing Rock Persisters, started in Jan. 2017 out of concern for our democracy and restarted in Jan. 2025 for the same reason. We share ideas for collective action and resources with those in our community and surrounding areas, and we hope to continue that work here.
