Script Of "Tougher" (TV)
RICHARD MOORE [v/o]: I'm Richard Moore, candidate for governor, and I sponsored this ad.
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Some decisions say a lot about character. Like the time Bev Perdue voted against tougher laws to investigate hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan.

It's true. Perdue was one of only two Democrats to vote against Dan Blue's law that gave the SBI more powers to investigate the KKK, a law supported by most Republicans and the entire black legislative caucus.
