TO LARRY KISSELL, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND JOBS

RALEIGH—Just two days after Larry Kissell fell over himself to embrace liberal Democrat House Leader Steny Hoyer in North Carolina, Hoyer led the effort in Congress to pass a foreign free trade agreement with Peru – the kind of trade agreement that Kissell said was devastating manufacturing jobs in the 8th District.

“It’s no longer just textiles in our district being devastated by the Washington politicians.  We see it from Kannapolis all the way to Fayetteville.  If we don’t take a stand now, there won’t be any manufacturing jobs left at all.”  (Larry Kissell, Even More our of Work in the 8th District, July 24, 2006)

“While Robin Hayes was in Washington fighting for the workers in his district, Larry Kissell’s liberal leader was leading the way on the kind of free trade agreement Kissell had said was devastating to the 8th District,” said North Carolina Republican Chairman Linda Daves.  “Why doesn’t Larry Kissell take his own advice and stand up to Washington politician Steny Hoyer?” 

“Larry Kissell isn’t a member of Congress, but he’s already under the thumb of the liberal leadership that’s bankrolling his campaign.”
