Campaign Lowjinks In Pamlico County

There are some things that should be out of bounds in election campaigns. Threatening phone calls to a candidate's wife fit in that category.

I have spent my life in defense of democracy. I believe every citizen should vote. Every citizen should feel free to express political opinions. I wish those opinions related to the substance of political differences rather than "nyaah, nyaah I don't like you!" That's worse than childish.

Everyone in the county seems to know about a threatening phone call to a candidate's wife, reported yesterday in the Sun Journal.

Welcome to Mile 181

Mile 181 on the Atlantic Section of the Intra Coastal Waterway brings you to Oriental, NC.
