Who does Sen. Hagan represent?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

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.

  • To The Editor

    To the Editor:
    A recent news story about the Montford Marines honors the important and too-often forgotten group of men. However, some of the statements in the story were wrong and need correction.

  • Happening a special event

    My first Happening on the Common was one to remember, perhaps in part because it included a wide variety of music, arts and crafts and food.
    And while you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking if someone liked either music or arts and crafts, there is no such uncertainty when it comes to food.
    My favorite of the day was from the Hispanic Youth Group from Tarboro’s First Baptist Church. Their tamales were, as the Campbell Soup Kids used to say, “umm, umm. good!”

  • A thief at large

    To the Editor:
    A glorious day was marred by a pickpocket, stealing from an eldery lady enjoying the day  at the Happening on the Common on Saturday.

  • Arts Council does many things for community

    Happening on the Common, which offered the opportunity for a day filled with leisurely entertainment, didn’t just happen.

  • Remembering Betty Perrin NeSmith

    Betty Perrin NeSmith was a force of nature. I hate the past tense, but it's the grammar we use when someone dies‚ Im just not sure it's the grammar Betty would use when thinking about death. She is moving on, with things to do. She was looking for a higher plane even while grounded on this earth, and I'm happy to think of her still searching out there in the other worlds.

  • A great example of poor judgment

    TO THE EDITOR: I was having breakfast at a restaurant last week when I was asked, What do you think of the new police chief selection? I responded with, Who did they choose? Thats when I was given the devastating news it wasn't one of our own.

  • Did you ever lose your vehicle?

    Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a parking lot, knowing in yiour heart that you remembered where you parked but faced with the realization that you didn’t?
    I think many of us have been down that path, sheepishly realizing that the reason your automatic door opener isn’t working is because it’s not your vehicle.
    Then, sheepishly, we walk away and begin our wandering and wondering as we try to find our wheels.

  • Economic growth a must

    I give credit to Rich Karlgaard, a regular contributor to Forbes magazine, for many of the statistics I use in this column.
    As we all know our economy is extremely sluggish to put it mildly.  It’s just growing at somewhere between 1 percent and 2 percent and at this rate the economy can only get worse.  In comparison,  our economy has grown, on average, at a rate of 3.3 percent since the end of World War II.  And even during this time frame we had two big recessions.

  • Rest of week just gets busier here in Tarboro

    Just the other day, as the community was making final preparations for Relay for Life, we heard someone complaining about how there is “never anything to do around here.”
    We beg to differ.

  • And we continue to walk ...

    As a cancer survivor — and on behalf of other cancer survivors — thank you to everyone who has taken even the most minute role in the Relay for Life effort.
    That effort continues this week when the Rocky Hock Opry rolls into town for a couple of Saturday performances at Edgecombe Community College.
    Please, continue your support.
