On 5/16/22, I emailed 42 States' AG, my Alabama district congressmen & senators, with my own rendition of your letter (with all the major points), & asked for direct responses. I have, to date, received one response from the North Carolina AG: Department of Justice - North Carolina as copied/pasted below. James, I would appreciate your feedback on their response to the information being "misinformation". Thank you. May 20, 2022

Dear Dena:

Thank you for taking the time to the North Carolina Department of Justice. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Like you, our office is concerned about North Carolinians’ safety, health, and well-being. However, the N.C. Department of Justice and the attorney general does not have authority over the World Health Organization. Reports that the federal administration has ceded decision-making authority about the United States’ medical and public health responses are misinformed.

Our office is only authorized to provide legal representation and advice to all state government departments, agencies, and commissions. You may also consider contacting your elected federal representatives here: https://www.congress.gov/.

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us – hearing from the people of North Carolina helps us to better do our jobs, and we will continue to monitor this issue.

We hope this information is helpful. Again, thank you for your letter. Please do not hesitate to share your perspective with our office in the future.

Sincerely, Constituent Services North Carolina Department of Justice
