I want to address something about the Republican Primary for House District 43. There seems to be some people who want to claim that Clarence Goins, Jr. is the person who will make things happen in our county and state. I wish to point out that in all the years he has been in Cumberland County, that would be all of his life, he has not done anything to help anyone except himself.
He has never volunteered to work with any civic organization to better the community. He has never joined any organization within the community that would give him the knowledge or experience to understand just what the community needs and the different ways that we as a community can accomplish those goals.
He can say that he is for conservative values but, without having ever done anything to help the community or the state to push for those values, the words are empty rhetoric.
I would like to ask everyone to do some research before deciding who is the best Republican Candidate to represent us in Raleigh. Look at the website “justfacts.votesmart.org” and compare what is on there about Clarence Goins and what is on there about Diane Wheatley.
I believe you will see a big difference and understand that while Clarence Goins talks about wanting to do things, Diane Wheatley actually goes out and does them.
