I am ashamed. Congresswoman Virginia Foxx, who represents myself and the citizens of NC-05, was one of only 33 members of Congress to vote against extending the Voting Rights Act. I am ashamed. And I am angry.
Foxx has racked up many damaging and embarrassing votes during this, her first and hopefully last, term in Congress. She was one of only 11 representatives heartless enough to vote against Katrina relief money. Now she distinguishes herself yet again by voting against extending the Voting Rights Act. She is an embarrassment.
Help me. Help yourself. Help our country. Help get rid of Virginia Foxx...
We are not a high-profile district. There aren't even any polls on this race. But we are right next door to
Larry Kissell's district. These are our neighbors. We follow his campaign too. And here's a secret: When George W. swept our district in 2004, we still managed to vote out all of our incumbent Republican county commissioners. Clearly there are plenty of folks willing to vote for Democratic candidates in NC-05. We just need to give them a little inspiration.
Please consider contributing to Roger Sharpe's campaign. Roger Sharpe is NOT Virginia Foxx. But even more than that, he's a progressive candidate with deep ties to the local community, long experience in state government, and national experience on civil rights during the Carter administration, and did I mention he is NOT VIrginia Foxx??
Please contribute. Your dollars will go far in this very low budget race. And you'll have the deep satisfaction of knowing that your money is going to help fight against one of our most reprehensible congresscritters.
Thank you for your help.
