Charlotte-Area Representatives: A Look at Their Records

Vote ranking: 34th most conservative member of the House, according to National Journal."

SNIPPET: "The record: She's a vocal opponent of taxes, spending and illegal immigration, with a voting record to match.

Last year she introduced the "10k Run for the Border Act", which would have upped penalties for employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. This year she chided President Obama for opposing Arizona's tough immigration law.

In January, the House passed her amendment to bar TARP recipients from outsourcing new customer service or call center jobs to foreign companies."

SNIPPET: "Myrick has made headlines for her increasingly outspoken warnings about terrorism and radical Islam. She has made online videos on everything from Sharia finances to the Fort Hood shooting.

More recently, she has been particularly critical of the response by intelligence officials to Saudi-born Samir Khan. The man who ran a radical blog from his Charlotte home is now believed to be editing an online magazine for the group al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.

What her opponent says: "I just feel she's out of touch. I don't feel she votes for the people she represents." - Democrat Jeff Doctor, Marvin."

SNIPPET: “Republican U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick warned a Huntersville audience Tuesday about the dangers of “homegrown terrorism” and new Iranian inroads into the Americas.”

SNIPPET: “”I’m extremely concerned about Iran and the situation in the Middle East,” she said. “People don’t want to face the fact that we have terrorist organizations operating in this hemisphere and this country.”

Myrick, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said she’s disturbed by reported activities in this hemisphere by the Lebanese-based Islamic group Hezbollah, seen by many as an Iranian proxy.

Myrick repeated what she wrote in a June 23 letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano: that Hezbollah has increased its cooperation with Central American drug cartels and poses a threat to security on the southern U.S. border.

Myrick said she worries about Iranians learning Spanish and slipping through the border.”

SNIPPET: “Myrick also expressed her frustration with the case of Samir Khan.”
