Hello all. I'm supporting Harry Taylor for Congress in NC 09. He's running against the formidable and corrupt George Bush "rubberstamp" Sue Myrick. Please support and vote for the man pictured below, Harry Taylor!
Sue Myrick is a corrupt Republican Congresswoman.
Check out this WCNC Report by our local Charlotte newstation WCNC:
After $15M, promised jobs still unfilled
Gaston County company gets $15M from feds, but WCNC finds hundreds still un-hired

A local company (Defense Technologies Incorporated -- a Ranlo defense contractor headed locally by John Torbett, who’s also a Gaston County commissioner) receives help from Republican Congresswoman Sue Myrick to receive a military contract worth $15 million. In return the company promises hundreds of jobs for the community. How many jobs, making how much money?
WCNC also asked Torbett, the DTI vice president, about an interview we found posted on line at dtiweb.net, claiming 200 hundred workers are already on the DTI payroll, with 200 more still to be hired, at salaries of $50,000 a year.
Sounds awesome!!!! Right?
Sue Myrick even brags about her big "get":
That same interview, which bragged about hundreds of high-paying DTI jobs that don't actually exist, also turned up on Charlotte Congresswoman Sue Myrick's Web site – after Rep. Myrick helped Defense Technologies win more than $15 million in federal funding since 2003.
Yep, Myrick uses this sham as a bragging point on her website.
So okay, did it ever happen?
If you guessed no, you win a cookie. Five years later, not one job.
NOT ONE JOB!
It gets better...the 200 jobs that supposedly already existed...you guessed it, they never existed either.
So what does Myrick have to say?
Myrick now admits "we made a mistake in saying 200 jobs."
A mistake huh? Okay, so why do I call it corruption?
The FEC reports that DTI’s out-of-state president has given the campaign organization Sue Myrick for Congress more than $5,000 over the past four years. The company’s out-of-state chief financial officer has contributed $3,000. And Defense Technologies’ out-of-state vice president gave almost $8,000 in campaign donations to Rep. Myrick, since DTI started getting all that federal funding.
Ooops.
Shouldn't the FBI be investigating Sue Myrick?
Please vote and support Harry Taylor for NC 09. We need Harry.
