Pledged Delegate for Hillary Clinton


It's official. Thanks to everyone who voted today at the 9th District Convention in Marvin, NC, for my being named a Hillary Clinton Pledged Delegate to the Democratic National Convention. There's only 100 days until the Convention.

Like I said to many of you: "The only candidate my hand knows how to spell is HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON." I look forward to representing you in August at the national convention and casting each and every vote for Sen. Clinton.

Did you know you can volunteer at the convention? While hotel rooms are getting scarce, they likely have some available if you still want to attend and help at the convention. For more information, visit www.demconvention.com

Big Oil, We're Coming For You: Excess Profits Tax, Price Fixing Investigation, Temporary Federal Tax Relief

So, I did the right thing. I bought a diesel and get GREAT gas mileage. But times are definitely tough. It costs $80 to fill up on Diesel at $4.50 a gallon. And while all of you gas guzzlers out there are paying about 25-cent tax on every gallon, I'm paying nearly 50-cents per gallon. And all those trucks on the road are paying it too! No wonder our grocery bills are going up.

Hillary is right to give some relief-- WHILE SHE ALSO CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION INTO PRICE FIXING! And that the monies that should be paid by US, are going to be paid BY THE OIL COMPANY. There's no loss of revenue for our roads!

It's not the only plan. It's PART of the Plan. We're not stupid. She even said IT'S TEMPORARY! But we need her full plan to be put into action. She also called for a "Excess Profits Tax Against Big Oil"... What does Obama say to that?

I say, put a cap on the profits. Oil companies should make a profit, but at what cost? This is also a national emergency at this point. People can't afford to get to work.

NC Governor Easley for Hillary

Showing the backbone and levelheadedness we love here in NC, the Democratic Governor Mike Easley has thrown his full support behind Hillary. He's been stumping for her across this great state, and he's outspoken about her leadership and ability to lead our country.
