Former N.C. Chief Justice Henry Frye has agreed to be honorary co-chairman of Kenneth Lewis' U.S. Senate campaign.
Lewis, a Durham attorney, was a law clerk for Frye, who was the first African-American to head North Carolina's judicial system, Rob Christensen reports.
"When I first met Kenneth over 20 years ago," Frye said, "he was a smart, idealistic young lawyer determined to use his legal training to break down the barriers to educational and economic opportunity facing communities across North Carolina."
'"Kenneth's legal career, as a business and community development lawyer, is a long record of using the law to find common ground between the private sector and the non-profit community," Frye said. "His experience in community development, coupled with his expertise in business law, makes Kenneth uniquely qualified to represent North Carolina in the U.S Senate."
Lewis is the first Democrat to enter the 2010 race for the seat held by Republican Sen. Richard Burr. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall has formed an exploratory committee. Other Democrats looking at the race include former state Sen. Cal Cunningham of Lexington, Congressman Bob Etheridge of Lillington, former Lt. Gov. Dennis Wicker of Sanford, and Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy.

Re: Frye gets behind Lewis for Senate
Not an unfounded accusation, SonofWS.
From Self-Help's site: "Founded the Center for Responsible Lending, an affiliated nonprofit research and policy organization dedicated to curbing predatory lending."
ACORN money does indeed go to Self-Help - google it yourself. I'm not about to post links anymore - the sites will disappear, just like my comments will soon, and just like stories mysteriously disappear. ACORN is a giant money-laundering enterprise, and even the so-called mainstream media is going to have to start covering its implosion.
So are you going to make some phone calls & get sites cleaned up, WS?
