Burr is the NC equivalent of PAC Man. But, this is trivial in contrast to the massive amount of money he will have next year - from PACs, Corporate lackeys and Lobbyists. We need to get rid of Burr, he is an embarrassment to the people who elected him.

Ben,

Shouldn’t the headline read: Burr has 3.4 million. Considering that $461,445 you left off is almost 3 times the amount any of his opposition has. Just trying to be fair since you put Lewis and Marshall’s numbers up like that. Thanks.

I testified with AG Cooper in DC about the impact of robo calls.

It is too bad that politicians continue to exempt themselves from Do Not Call law.

StopPoliticalCalls.org is fighting for the privacy of the American voter.

1 - Creating a Political Do Not Call Registry
2 - Testifying in the US Senate about robo calls (Sen. Feinstein’s Robocall Privacy Act)
3 - Forcing states to enforce existing robo call laws (CA, MN, NJ, etc..)
4 - Getting politicians to take a do not robo call pledge (7 have)

As I testified at the US. Senate these robo calls are an epidemic and this election cycle “phone spam” and are invading the privacy of All American Voters.

Our members are taking a stand and saying enough is enough at the National Political Do Not Contact Registry at StopPoliticalCalls.org.

Here is a quote from a member recently:

"I'm a shift worker, working variable shifts. I depend on my sleep to be able to do my job safely and efficiently. I'm a locomotive engineer. Imagine the disaster were I to fall asleep, operating a freight train carrying hazardous materials in your neighborhood, due to fatigue from being awoken in my middle of the night on a continuous basis during election season. Please stop.."
