North Carolina Congressional Hopeful Runs On Impeach Bush Platform
 Friday, June 27th, 2008

Hmmm. We're not in North Carolina, but we received an e-mail from the campaign of Republican Congressional candidate Carl Mumpower, and we find him interesting on several accounts. The first is, Mumpower supports the impeachment of President George W. Bush, but not for the reason you may think. Mumpower believes that the President's failure to enforce illegal immigration, and the announcement of intentions to pull the National Guard from the border.

The second thing we find interesting is that following his May 6th, 2008 primary win, Carl Mumpower stated that he "will not take money from the Republican National Committee, unions PACs, or any other special interest group." Why not? "I am not interested in purchasing a seat in Congress or selling myself to those accustomed to buying the future of America."

And lastly, Carl's e-mail to us revealed something we were completely unaware of: North Carolina is one of the few states that recognize the Consular Matricula I.D. Card as a valid form of identification to obtain a state driver's license and other ID's. The Consular card is an identification card issued by the Government of Mexico through its consulate offices, and assists illegal immigrants in obtaining U.S. government-issued documents.

And our favorite Mumpower quote: "I will consider myself a success if my Congressional office is in the basement next to the boiler room. I do not intend to participate in the perks of higher office that find Congress living better than the people they serve."

There are, of course, some issues on Mumpower's platform that we do not agree with; however we do think that if you're in North Carolina, it's worth checking out mumpower08.com.
