closeI was disappointed, although not surprised, by your recent endorsement of U.S. Rep. David Price. You stated that B.J. Lawson had some good ideas, but that was not enough of a reason to replace Congressman Price. Have you considered:
1) Price voted for the recent bailout even though 200 economists stated it would be ineffective against the current fiscal crises.
2) Americans For Prosperity wrote "Congressman Price's defense of the earmarking system shows just how out of touch he is with North Carolinas taxpayers."

3) Price has been in office for more than 20 years. Being a representative should not be a lifetime job. Congress is at a historically low approval rating in the eyes of the American public.
It is interesting that you chose to endorse all of the incumbents. When is it time for a change?
