Hello. I support Harry Taylor for Congress. He officially files to run for Congress today at Noon in a bid to unseat Republican Sue Myrick, and Harry needs our help.
Today, Feb 26th, 2008 Harry is asking for $20.08 from all who hear his call. Sue Myrick the Republican incumbent has been in Congress since 1995, and she has a lot of money. Harry will need everyone's help to wage a successful bid to oust her. Please support Harry Taylor today.
You may remember Harry Taylor as the little guy that stood up to President Bush during a town hall meeting. In a town hall filled with Republicans, Harry actually told President Bush that he should be ashamed of himself. Here's a link to that now famous video of Harry and George Bush. Watch and enjoy all over again. Give 'Em Hell Harry

Here's a link to Harry Taylor's Website which tells more about him.
Harry is running against Sue Myrick. Who is Sue Myrick and how does she stack up to Harry on the 5 issues discussed above?
- Myrick voted for increased surveillance of Americans without warrants.
- Myrick voted against SCHIP (children's health care), and refused to override Bush's SCHIP veto on two additional votes.
- Myrick voted to provide billions in tax breaks for big oil and gas firms.
- Myrick supports the Bush Administration's war in Iraq without end
- Myrick supports George Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest citizens while spending $10 Billion dollars per month in Iraq.
Moreover, Sue Myrick may be corrupt. One local Charlotte television station filed this WCNC Report just this month on Sue Myrick's questionable activities.
Sue Myrick has got to go!
Here's the contents of a letter I received from Harry Taylor asking for our help:
Dear Friend,
Thank you for being a part of this campaign to bring accountability to the Congress of the United States.
By now you have probably seen the video of me standing up to George Bush in Charlotte a year and a half ago. And you know that in Congress, I will stand up for values that matter to you.
At noon on Tuesday, February 26th, I file for Congress. But I need your help to reach the finish line.
