House Democrats and candidates accepted $100,000 from the Future Now Fund PAC with a promise to defund the police.

The Democrats want to take away citizens' Second Amendment rights with no due process and restrict law enforcement’s ability to get basic protective equipment, the Civitas Institute reported.

They want to end cash bail, court fees and costs. That would put some dangerous criminals back on the streets and defund police training and police retirement funds, the Civitas Institute reported.

Future Now has been classed as a 501(c)(4) issue advocacy organization. Its purpose is to help Democrats win state-level races.

“This radical pledge by House Democrats to defund police in North Carolina is a betrayal of the basic public trust to keep families safe, particularly in times of crisis, as crime rates rise in other areas led by the radical left,” House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Kings Mountain) said, the Civitas institute reported.

In exchange for at least $100,000 in donations, House Democratic candidates pledged to enact legislation requiring “a comprehensive review of the state’s police funding” to “reduce excessive policing,” Moore said, the Civitas institute reported.

The Civitas Institute said the goal of the Future Now Fund is to get Democratic state legislative candidates to back their agenda, fund the candidates and help them win elections, and turn those victories into its own through redistricting, health policy and defunding the police.
