75: The legislature should be broadcast live on TV, like C-SPAN. 

73: Political candidates should fund their own campaigns instead of using public financing. 

59: Members of the legislature should stick with two-year terms. 

58: Hunting should not be allowed on Sundays in North Carolina.

55: The state should set up an independent redistricting commission.
