Republican Senator Richard Burr admitted Monday night to instructing his wife to withdraw the maximum amount she could from their bank accounts in successive nights the week the financial crisis began. As a member of the Senate he acted on information that wasn't available to the general pubic. He knew things we did not and he took action to protect his personal finances while citizens of North Carolina trusted he was acting in our best interest.

=====================

This is the Senator who held up Tammy Duckworth's confirmation to the V.A.
He is my Senator.
I will work hard to kick him to the curb next go-around.
