I want to bring to the attention of the public just who U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., actually represents. She represents the bankers, the Wall Street charlatans and the national and international trade unions. She DOES NOT represent the citizenry of the State of North Carolina.

Kay Hagan has abandoned The United States Constitution by supporting single-payer government run health care.

Kay Hagan has abandoned our nation's sovereignty by supporting global income redistribution via "Cap and Trade" – the brainchild of Enron's Ken Lay, and Al Gore.

Kay Hagan has mortgaged North Carolinas' children's futures and their rights to the fruits of their own labors by supporting the largest government spending spree ever seen, which is being done with borrowed money at variable interest rates.

Kay Hagan has forsaken our economic security and supports the continuation of the Federal Reserve's lack of transparency by opposing an AUDIT of the federal polls show that 75 percent of our citizens support an audit of the Federal Reserve Bank.

Finally, Kay Hagan has abandoned the North Carolina work force in favor of our neighbors to the south in Mexico, she supports card check and opposes secret ballot voting.

In a scant few months, Hagan has proven that no amount of phone calls, emails, or other forms of protest to her voting decisions on the part of North Carolinians will stop her support of her bankster good old boys and union financiers. If there is any question what crowd Hagan supports, look at her top 10 contributors. It should not be shocking to see that every last one is either an international trade union, banker or wall street type. We can expect to see five years of sovereignty and job wrecking behavior from Hagan until she is one year from re-election, when she will attempt to soft pedal her actions in an attempt to get re-elected.

Unfortunately, our nation and state cannot wait another five years while out wealth, freedom and sovereignty are "redistributed" by this tool of a senator. I call on all who read this letter to contact their North Carolina legislator (919-733-7928) and tell them "We want a recall mechanism now" added to our state constitution. North Carolinians should be given the opportunity to vote on a Constitutional Amendment to allow for the recall of our state elected officials, including U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, governor and any other elected government official who is blatantly failing in their obligation to provide a service to the people because of personal belief, incompetence or political cowardice.

Cheerwine and the Outer Banks ... oh, my
I’ve already been told I need to declare, so I’ll tell you right now that my wife bleeds Carolina blue.
Me? I’m more of a Mississippi State fan, myself, although if I had to pick a favorite in the ACC it would be Wake Forest from our days in Thomasville, over in the Triad.
My career has been spent getting the word out to folks about things that were going on. I began at what really was called a cub reporter at my hometown Delta Democrat-Times in Greenville, Miss. and my first boss, Hodding Carter, III, currently serves as University Professor of Leadership and Public Policy at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Since then, I’ve worked in half-a-dozen states, spending about 25 years in Texas. Along the way, I’ve covered a bit of everything — obits, weddings, elections, Little League, Babe Ruth, local, state and national politics and all things in-between, including Hurricane Katrina.

'From the heart of Stone"
With Black History Month beginning, I reflected on my favorite black writers. "Back in the day," when I was a student at Virginia Commonwealth University, I took the first Black History class ever offered at the school.
It was there that I discovered the works of Richard Wright, Eldridge Cleaver, Malcolm X, James Baldwin, and Julian Bond. Over the years, the writings of James Baldwin took on a special meaning when I started working at an alternative school. I re-visited some of Baldwin's work, and exposed students to it.

‘Welcome to Tarboro - your electricity’s been turned off”
When I returned from Paris last May, I was a little stunned to come into a warm house. Not seeing the red digital light on the stove, I could only think: “oh, shoot, I neglected to pay my utility bill before departing.”
Before I could put down my purse, it was “off to the races,” and I immediately hopped in my car, and drove downtown to the Town Hall to check it out.

Being Conservative
I’m conservative. Basically it means to conserve what you have and work hard to obtain more to conserve. It means to take care of your family and to help others in need. I was raised to be conservative. I was born in the middle of the Great Depression and my Dad and Mom went through it. To get through it they had to conserve.

Do you feel that the Town of Tarboro should draft an ordinance making it illegal to fail to clean up after your pet?

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
On Dec. 29th, 2011, the Daily Southerner had an article concerning a policeman crossing the white line and hitting another car. Evidently the policeman was not even reprimanded.
On Oct. 25th, 2011, a policeman stopped me on Howard Ave. and was very vociferous before the encounter was over the policeman was screaming at me. He stated that if I told anyone about this conversation he would see that I would lose my license. Also, earlier in the month or late September another officer stopped for running a red light, plain and simple. Both officers brought up the fact that old people suffered from dementia. I called the police dept. and talked to their supervisor about these conversations. He appeared not to condone their actions too. Both officers seem to think that because I have a web site, it seems to be problematic and it should be for Edgecombe County. But it is not for the police dept. to incriminate me because I have a web site. (www.cohiec.org). Or it is not for a policeman to say I suffer from dementia without a diagnosis. The medical profession and some of the law enforcement officers just perplexed at the old people and incapable of being able to have decent judgment, if I got a ticket and had to take the driving test again, the police officer should have to do the same thing. After all, I did not hit a car.
