As promised, the text of my letters to Senators Elizabeth Dole and Richard Burr and Congressman Walter B. Jones, Jr.
Dear Senator Dole, Senator Burr, Congressman Jones, Jr.,
I was shocked to learn that President George W. Bush may have told Israeli government officials during his recent trip that he was planning military action against Iran.
It is [...]

Primary 2008 over and all that’s left is to clear the battlefields of the dead and wounded. For North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District, that means sweeping away Democrat Marshall Adame and Republican Joe McLaughlin.
Craig Weber defeated Marshall Adame by nearly 30,000 votes (or 39% of votes cast).
This was, to me, the most surprising contest of all.
Weber, [...]

The bad news: Craig Weber is the wrong Democrat to send to Congress.

It’s Primary Day in NC!
I’m a proud member of the 8.4% of NC’s registered voters that participated in early voting this year, so I’ll not be standing in lines with the rest of Onslow’s voters today.

NC-03 Primary Problems: Adame, Weber File for May Contest
Posted on February 14, 2008 - Filed Under 2008 Elections, Activism, Democrats, Mainstream Media, NC-03, Onslow County, NC, Politics, United States House of Representatives | Leave a Comment
Raleigh’s News and Observer reported today that Marshall Adame and Craig Weber have filed for the May 6th Democratic Primary.
I’m not sure why Weber filed: He’s got no money, he hasn’t updated his website since 2006, and, from what I’ve heard, he did everything he could to destroy any relationships or support he had (to [...]

Says the Sun Journal:
The candidate, Marshall Adame, is a retired Marine who lives in Jacksonville. Adame is running for North Carolina’s 3rd District seat in the House of [...]
