Message from Harry Taylor

Here’s a message from Harry Taylor:

I’m Harry Taylor, and I’m running for Congress.

By now you have probably seen the video of me standing up to George Bush in Charlotte a year and a half ago. And you know that in Congress, I will stand up for values that matter to you.

Here’s how I line up with my opponent on some of the most important issues we face as a nation:
On Iraq:
I opposed the invasion of Iraq from the beginning and support the withdrawal of our troops as well as renewed focus on diplomacy in the region.
Rep. Sue Myrick:
Supports the Bush Administration’s occupation of Iraq in their endless war.

On Healthcare:
I support access to health care for all Americans and believe that no American should face financial ruin due to medical crisis.
Rep. Sue Myrick:
Voted against SCHIP (children’s health care), and refused to override Bush’s SCHIP veto on two additional votes.

On the Environment and Energy Independence:
I support the development of renewable energy and efficiency initiatives to replace our reliance on carbon; I’m calling for a moratorium on new coal-fired power plants.
Rep. Sue Myrick:
Voted to provide billions in tax breaks for big oil and gas firms.

On Civil Liberties and FISA:
I oppose Bush's warrant-less wiretapping of American citizens and immunity for telecom companies who broke the law.
Rep. Sue Myrick:
Voted for increased surveillance of Americans without warrants.

On the Economy:
I stand for fiscal responsibility; restoration of sound economic policy and spending practices; fair trade policy that protects American jobs and development of green industries and manufacturing.
Rep. Sue Myrick:
Supports George Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthiest citizens while spending $10 billion dollars per month in Iraq.

I was recently struck by this quote from Dr. Martin Luther King :
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

I refuse to be silent.

At noon on Tuesday, February 26th, I’m filing for Congress. But I need your help to get to the finish line.
