The next original Kissell campaign event

PhotobucketFrom LKSOC (the Larry Kissell School of Original Campaigning) comes the following event, which Under The Dome already calls "the most creative political event of the year".

The Democratic Congressional candidate will host free lead screening of toys from noon to 3 p.m. this Friday in downtown Concord, the hometown of Robin Hayes.

"Not only as a candidate for Congress, but as a parent and school teacher, I'm concerned about dangerous imports and the safety of our children," says Kissell, "I don't believe you have to wait for an election to begin working on behalf of families in the 8th District."

A NC certified lead risk assessor using X-ray fluorescence, the most reliable technology available, will be on hand to examine items.

PhotobucketMillions of toys and children's items, many imported from China, have been recalled recently for containing lead. Lead paint is toxic and may cause brain damage, organ failure and even death in children.

While many popular toys like some lines of the Thomas the Tank Engine have already been removed from shelves, the list of toxic toys continues to grow and parents may be unaware that Holiday items purchased for gifts or already in their home may hold a deadly threat to developing children. The public is invited to join Kissell this Friday, December 21 from noon to 3 p.m. in Downtown Concord for the free toy lead screening service.

The event location is 9 Union Street, Concord, near the intersection of Union and Cabarrus Avenue.

and his planting of thousands of trees after an ice storm as part of his congressional election was inspiring. He ended up planting close to a million trees throughout his 20 year career in Congress.

Between gas and kids toys, I think Larry is looking to be the same type of congressman. A dedicated public servant intent upon using his position to protect working people and provide an independent voice no matter what.

Go Larry Go.

...and these are just the public events...there is so much that Larry does privately to serve his community. He is exactly the type of person we need in Congress.

And Helms begat Reagan...


Arguably, Ronald Reagan's Helms enabled win in the 1976 NC primary was all the encouragement he needed to try again in 1980, setting the stage for the Reagan Revolution and synergistic escapades like this one...

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
