Everyone needs to do their part to improve the quality of life of their community. We can recycle our money by patronizing local businesses within the community. This is key for the restoration and maintenance of our economy. With my entrepreneurial background, I have the experience and commitment to move the 1st District forward. Hard work, customer service, quality control and professionalism is what I value. Improving the health, safety and quality of life for our citizens is a requirement. I wish to serve the citizens of North Carolina as their next United States Congressman and I ask for your confidence in me.

It's sad that of all the problems facing the district, some people have such disdain for someone who openly shares his humble beginnings. It would stand to reason that a candidate who worked his way up and wants to make a difference would at the very least not get slammed for being candid.
Let's stay on topic and focus on the issues that really matter.

Try the link I posted.
Unlike the first line of Larkin's website about mowing lawns?
'Cause that's exactly where THAT goes.

haven't had the privilege of reading info about Larkins, but your sarcasm is ill placed.

November 6, 2009 - 6:17pm — GiggleBoxThat's surprising given his background of mowing lawns.
Is this a joke?
