North Carolina earned the designation "first in freedom" by being the first of the thirteen colonies to officially declare independence from England on April 12, 1776. With our freedom under attack, we want to be first in freedom once again. On the First in Freedom Podcast, we discuss current threats to our freedom, how they impact us here at home, and what we can do to stop it. Join other freedom fighters across the state and let's take freedom back! Follow the show on Facebook and/or Gettr to learn more about the host and keep up with the latest.
