if the people do not wake up, they may have the best labor-union Congress money can buy. The AFL-CIO is doing the dirty work of the liberal Democrats in Congress and of Bill Clinton. In North Carolina, a right-to-work State, union ads falsely charged that I voted to give myself a congressional pay raise. Of course I just arrived in Congress in 1995, not in 1989, when the last pay raise was voted on. Next, the right arm of the Democrat National Committee, the AFL-CIO, put ads on the air in Raleigh-Durham saying that my name was Randy, not David. That would be news to my parents. Then a colleague called me from Nebraska saying that the AFL-CIO attack ad on minimum wage was being shown on television in Omaha, NE, attacking David Funderburk of the Second District of North Carolina. Admittedly, Nebraska starts with 'N' like North Carolina, but that is where the similarity ends. And our 'Randy' in Congress is from Washington State. The big boss labor unions of the Democrat party are spending tens of millions to lie, distort and deceive the public so they can buy back a left-wing, union-controlled Congress. It is time to stop the mud and false ads.
