Grier Martin seeks return to NC House

Former 4-term legislator Grier Martin will run for the House District 34 seat being vacated by Rep. Deborah Ross. Ross will resign to take a position as General Counsel with the Triangle Transit Authority.

“It was my privilege to represent the people of District 34 for 8 years. After being double bunked with my friend Rep. Ross in abusive redistricting, I made the decision to step aside. I had no doubt District 34 would be well served by Rep. Ross, and it has been. She will be an outstanding addition to the Triangle Transit Authority,” Martin said.

“Today I am announcing I will seek to serve the people of the 34th District again, and I’m honored to have the support of Rep. Ross. I look forward to speaking with members of the Wake County Democratic Party Executive Committee, and all interested constituents about how we can continue to make our community the best place to live and work in America,” Martin concluded.

Bringing home the bacon

Wake County has only 173m, about 3.5%, of 5.1 billion alloted for NC stimulus recovery fund projects from the feds, according to Onvia Tracking. We are behind Cumberland, Wayne, and Rowan counties. We can do better and, if elected to the NC Senate in 2010, I'll work to "bring home the bacon" to our community.

Who loves America More? Democrats or Republicans?

While the Republican Party seems to most relish the outward signs of patriotism, such as waving the flag, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and sending troops into harm’s way with aplomb, it is the Democrats who have the longer record prosecuting our nation’s wars since World War I.

Indeed, it was President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, who lead us to victory in World War I; it was President Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, who lead our nation against Nazi aggression in World War II; it was President Harry Truman, a Democrat, who completed our victory in World War II with the bombing of Japan, and who entered America into the Korean conflict; it was John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, who created the Green Berets and who stood down the Russians during the Cuban Missile Crisis; and it was Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, who put troops in Vietnam.
