Craven to ask for photo voter ID
by Sue Brook, Sun Journal New Bern
Warning this article is not exactly honest about the details!
You can read it here: http://www.newbernsj.com/news/local-102230-passed-county.html
Congressman Butterfield has declared he will try and stop it. What is he and the Democrat Party (there were 2 Democrat party representatives at this morning's meeting) trying to hide? What are they so afraid of?
Ms. Brook also wrote the folling article and it ran in the Sun Journal this morning prior to the Craven County Commissioners meeting and vote on the resolution:
Craven commissioners to consider requiring voter ID
http://www.newbernsj.com/news/county-102225-requirement-craven.html
Again Ms. Brooks facts are a little off and her bias is showing!
I urge voters to contact Congressman Butterfields's office and TELL HIM THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN and we SUPPORT VOTER ID! Call him at 202-225-3101; fax 202-225-3354.

Once again--Mr. Butterfield's numbers are WAY OFF! Commissioner Dacey reported about 750 people in the county were estimated to need an ID which will be provided FREE OF CHARGE.

Once again, our chairman Raynor James remarks were taken out of context, (Raynor spoke to the commissioners in support of the bill).

Raynor was interviewed by both stations--I will post any video if they run it.

Woolard: Butterfield must give back Rangel payoff or face escalation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Woolard: Butterfield must give back Rangel payoff or face escalation
Washington, NC-July 29,2010-Republican Congressional nominee Ashley Woolard (NC-1) strongly criticized incumbent G.K. Butterfield this afternoon following release of Ethics Panel charges against embattled Democratic congressman Charlie Rangel. Earlier this week Woolard, in a series of district-wide press conferences, demanded Butterfield return "political bribes" given him in the form of campaign contributions from Rangel.
Butterfield sits on the Ethics Committee investigating Rangel that handed down today's decision. Opensecrets.org has reported Rangel has made $4000 in contributions to Butterfield.
"Congressman Butterfield must return these political bribes before the September trial. Failure to do so -- as many of his Democratic colleagues have done already -- ensures this issue will be a dominant theme in the upcoming election campaign," said Woolard Thursday.
"Charlie Rangel is another corrupt Democratic congressman that belongs in prison like Frank Ballance. Congressman Butterfield has taken a payoff to watch his back and unless these ill-gotten funds are returned, runs the risk of having the First District seat tainted by corruption once more," Woolard said.
Butterfield was first elected to congress in a 2004 special election to fill the unexpired term of convicted felon Frank Ballance. Ballance resigned suddenly amidst scandal involving embezzlement of taxpayer monies.
"Congressman Butterfield knows keeping this money is wrong, yet he refuses to return it. This begs the question of who he is really working for -- it's obvious it is not the people of eastern North Carolina,” Woolard said.

WOOLARD TO CALL ON BUTTERFIELD TO RETURN TAINTED CONTRIBUTIONS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
WOOLARD TO CALL ON BUTTERFIELD TO RETURN TAINTED CONTRIBUTIONS
GOP First District Congressional candidate Ashley Woolard will call on Congressman G.K. Butterfield to return tainted campaign contributions from embattled Democratic congressman Charlie Rangel in a series of press conferences Tuesday.
Woolard will appear at the Pitt County Courthouse in Greenville at 10:30 AM, Woolard for Congress Headquarters in Washington, NC at 1:30 PM and the Wayne County GOP Headquarters in Goldsboro, NC at 4:00 PM.
Butterfield is a member of the House Ethics Committee investigating Rangel on charges of tax evasion. The House Ethics Committee is scheduled to meet Thursday to address this issue.
“Unless returned, this money has the appearance of a bribe,” said Woolard on Monday. “Congressman Chandler gave back donations from Rangel last year and I call on Congressman Butterfield to do the same before he votes on these charges in committee.”
According to Opensecrets.org, Rangel contributed $4000 to Butterfield. Butterfield was first elected to congress in a 2004 Special Election to fill the unexpired term of convicted felon Frank Ballance, who pled guilty to embezzling taxpayer monies through a sophisticated money-laundering scheme.
“Congressman Butterfield must return this ill-gotten money or step down from the Ethics Committee,” said Woolard. “Anything less leaves him as a possible accessory to the crime.”
