Payback time for Virginia Foxx

She finally has an opponent. A carpenter and progressive radio host named Billy Kennedy.

Kennedy filed today to take on Foxx. So let's show him some support by checking out his site and considering donating.

“We must respect the labor of all people,” Kennedy said. “Right now, hard working people are not being looked out for, the middleclass is in trouble and without a middleclass, businesses cannot thrive in America. I’m outraged by the continuous shift of wealth from most people to the select few. The ratio between the lowest and highest pay in America today reflects poorly upon our values. We can’t afford the excessive compensation and survive and thrive. We should have a more level playing field for all Americans.”




Kennedy raises livestock on his farm, makes furniture in his carpentry shop and has had a home remodeling business. He is married to Rebecca “Becka” Saunders and is the father of three children—Amber Grace, Jessica and Willis

11. Billy Kennedy is the man to do it
I have heard Billy Kennedy's radio broadcasts, and he is a man of intelligence and compassion.

Back when I was just volunteering bits of time doing door/voter-canvassing for Obama and Hagan, Billy Kennedy was coordinating a lot of these efforts at the County level. He is exactly the type of Democrat I want to see in office. K&R.

19. It is rare for a person as ugly on the inside as she, to be equally hideous on the outside.

21. She is every bit as stupid as she looks.
Palin may look like a lightweight, and be one, but Foxx - oh my God. She looks like she just got out of the loony bin! Or just went in.

Ugly and hideous. I think you just about summed up this worthless piece of crap.

8. Foxx has $1.2 million -- we can beat that - I know I'll be donating to Billy.
I love the thought of sending another Kennedy to Congress!

10. I can't remember where I got this from: "Galling," says Grantham: When he came to America
in 1964 "the ratio of CEO pay to the average worker was ... between 20/1 and 40/1." That had "held for the previous 30 years. By 2006, this ratio had exploded to between 400/1 and 600/1 ... obscene."

My husband is a friend of Billy Kennedy's wife. He's a solid candidate and the polls are good. He has a good chance of winning!
