Thank you
for visiting our campaign web site. I
intend to conduct a straight talk
campaign and will provide the information you need to make an informed vote on
Nov. 3rd. The page banner above says it clearly; this campaign will be about
Real Issues,the kind of issues that affect the daily lives of our residents.
Not Wedge Issues that are used to divide us.
A wedge issue is a social or political
issue, often of a divisive or otherwise controversial nature, which is used by
one political group to split apart or create a "wedge" in the
support base of an opposing political group, with a view to enticing voters to
give their support to the first group. The use of wedge issues gives rise to
wedge politics.
These emotionally charged issues cause folk
to loose focus on the larger picture and vote for issues that neither
candidate my have any real hope of affecting at his or her level of political
office.
Survey
after survey conducted by both the Democratic and Republican Party show
clearly that North
Carolinas are more
concerned about Jobs - Education - and Health Care, in almost equal
proportions.
My pledge
to the folks of the 91st district is that I will work each and every day while
I'm your representative to find solutions for the real issues that we all agree need attentions.
I will work for improvements in Jobs,
Education and Health Care.
Others
want me to make a pledge to support their wedge issues, I can not do that.
Below
is my pledge to the men, women and children of the 91st
to work for their best interest
