Rep. David Price

"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.

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.

There's been a moratorium on the construction of new nuclear power stations for many years, and for many damned good reasons. Those reasons range from safety to economics with many environmental concerns in between, and are (mostly) based on numerous in-depth and qualified studies that had/have our best interests at heart.
