Coble’s voting record shows need for change
My wife and I live in Rep. Howard Coble’s district and cannot find any evidence that he has voted to support his constituents’ best interests. Please consider the following before you vote this year.
• Coble voted against lower drug prices for seniors and for deep cuts in Medicare services;
• against extending unemployment benefits for job-loss retraining due to trade with China or NAFTA;
• against helping homeowners with troubled mortgages;
• against curbs on pollution and global warming;
• against prevention of child abuse;
• against renewing the Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP);
• against equal pay to women for equal work;
• for the invasion of Iraq in an unjustified war;
• and finally, voted for “big oil” repeatedly while refusing to consider energy efficiency or renewable energy.
In short, Mr. Coble doesn’t represent us on any of the major issues like the economy, health care, the environment or income security for seniors.
Teresa Sue Bratton is clearly the best choice. She is a retired pediatrician who served Greensboro children. She is our “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” to best serve us and make the changes we need and deserve.
