So, progressives wake up and vote your conscience, not your party this November. Yes, it is possible to split your ticket and vote for both Obama and Lawson. I made the radical move of switching my registration from Democratic to Republican to vote for him in the NC Primary where he won 70% of the vote against a hardcore neocon opponent. BJ bases his platform strictly on the Constitution, and he is more of a peace candidate than most Democrats in Congress now.

Not in our name
will you wage endless war
there can be no more deaths
no more transfusions
of blood for oil

Not in our name
will you invade countries
bomb civilians, kill more children
letting history take its course
over the graves of the nameless

Not in our name
will you erode the very freedoms
you have claimed to fight for

Not by our hands
will we supply weapons and funding
for the annihilation of families
on foreign soil

Not by our mouths
will we let fear silence us

Not by our hearts
will we allow whole peoples
or countries to be deemed evil

Not by our will
and Not in our name

We pledge resistance

We pledge alliance with those
who have come under attack
for voicing opposition to the war
or for their religion or ethnicity

We pledge to make common cause
with the people of the world
to bring about justice,
freedom and peace

Another world is possible
and we pledge to make it real.

"In 1948, Congress made it illegal for a facility such as NBAF to study biological contagions, like Foot and Mouth Disease, that could spread from animals to humans in the continental United States. Since then, this work has been done on Plum Island to help limit any outbreaks to the general population from accidental releases that would inevitably occur," said Lawson.

Please join us as we watch and critique this important documentary. While we may agree on the challenges, and disagree on the proposed solutions, our future depends on beginning a substantial conversation. Join others who are tired of learning about McCain's $500 shoes and Obama's lapel pins. There are more important issues facing our future.

There will be a live discussion among Warren Buffet, Pete Peterson, and David Walker following the viewing of the film. This one night event will be shown LIVE at 8:00pm ET. Lawson for Congress has sponsored an entire theater for the national premier, and welcomes you to join us completely free of charge.

I want to be clear about one thing from the onset of this post: I have nothing against David Price on a personal level. I think that he has served the 4th District fairly well. I thank him for his service to the 4th District for the twenty-two years that he served. With that, I will explain why I am working to get Willliam "BJ" Lawson elected as the next representative for North Carolina's Fourth Congressional District.

Below is a press release the BJ Lawson, Candidate for the Fourth Congressional District.

I would be interested to know where David Price stands on this bill. I have been incredibly impressed by this guy. I can't stress enough how impressed I am. He is a Republican (and some will erroneously argue that he is a Libertarian) but I gotta tell you that his principled stances on civil liberties, good government and sustainability really get me to look beyond the party (which I usually do) and really appreciate this guy. This press release is great!
