Three things have happened in the last two weeks that make this the right time for me to challenge the 8-term Republican incumbent, Charles Taylor. A major article has been published, detailing numerous ethical and legal questions about Taylor. That article is here:

The response of Taylor's office to this article was the worst possible choice. By e-mail, his Press Secretary threatened a law suit against the paper. The Editor promptly shared that threat with all other media in NC. That's discussed here:

Finally, one of Taylor's minions saw fit to attack me personally, in print. No competent incumbent should even mention the name of his opponent, much less attack him.

So, it's been a favorable two weeks. I look forward to the interest and support of my colleagues on FR.

John,

Godspeed your candidacy and those of other statesmen!

And rulers decree justice."

Illegal and legal 3rd world immigration is the critical issue facing our country that will determine whether our Western European culture survives or be driven to extinction. It will also determine our children's and their childrens future.

Good luck Mr. Armor. If I was still living in Murphy, I'd vote for you. However, I ran just across the border into Georgia a few years back.

(I mean just. I'm probably a hundred yards or less from North Carolina.)

I have driven and hiked your Blue Ridge Mountains with my service dog - as we have many other places in the US we visited. I must agree with you about it's beauty.

And the RV's are as bad as Alaskas' during the summer.

I wish you well in your effort. Wish I could vote for you but must be content to vote against F'stein, Boxer and Lee.

John,

Godspeed and Good Luck!

I'd vote for ya if I weren't in Arizona (currently in exile from Minnesota).

My prayers are for you personally, as I understand politics can get quite personal and nasty...illegitimi non carborundum.

Cheers!

Great news John ! I was kinda hoping you would decide to take the plunge. Who knows? Some of us might even be able to shake a couple of dollars loose to help ya out.

Good luck and happy hunting (for votes). It looks like the mere announcement has started a few fireworks. heh heh

I'm looking forward to addressing you properly ..... The Honorable Congresscritter Billybob. Just think. I'll be able to say I knew you way back when, before you trod the hallowed halls of Congress.

Best of luck !

You know your opponent will be pouring over your writings here at FR. And he'll find only brilliant analysis and common sense. Good luck!

Go John!

As for some interstate cooperation coming from the other side of the mountain, I can tell you a lot of Tennesseeans would be right there with you.

I grew up in the foothills of the Smokies on that side. I've unfortunately been forced to move by circumstane, but I'll be back.

All the best!
