Edgecombe Community College Tarboro NC
Congressman G.K. Butterfield 1st Congressional District just addressed the delegates to the 1st Congressional District. As always he is educating us about what is going on on the National Level.

Butterfield said the Republicans has a national conspiracy against President Obama and Democrats. He said they were doing it in the name of balancing the budget. They want to dismantle Medicaid and more.

Butterfield said the Republicans have the support of the U.S. Supreme Court. Corporations are now considered human beings so they can give money to support or defeat political candidates. Republicans are receiving lots of money. One person just committed 10 million dollars to try to smear Obama on the 1st day of the convention.

Newt Gindrup Republican went down because of corporate money. This money can be given anonymously.

Butterfield said we must elect some good delegates to the Democratic National Convention that will be held in Charlotte NC.

Butterfield said that if Obama lose NC he will lose the election. So he is asking that all Democrats unite.

Vote Congressman G.K. Butterfield 1st Congressional District! Who Is Daniel Lynn-Whittacre ie: Dan Whittacre? Whittacre Gonna Learn The Day!

Response: Welcome to The Political Agitator’s Blog/Online TV aka The Watch Dog of East. You say, “As I have never heard of your website nor have I communicated with you before, I am wondering how you came to such a decision.” Well You gonna learn the day!!

First if all I have known my Congressman for years long before he became my Congressman. He will always be my Congressman although I can’t vote for him.

I am proud of his record.

Research the candidates? I do my homework. I have made a qualified statement of support. I can see. What I can see about you is that your voter’s registration shows you registered to vote for the 1st time in 2009 and voted for the 1st time in 2010. However during my research sources say you were a REPUBLICAN before switching to Democrat. I know more than enough about you. Your attitude towards my Congressman G.K. Butterfield and your confirmation in this email to me shows me that you are ignant as hell when it comes to my Congressman.

What you needed to have done is you should have done your homework before you sent me this email because I ain’t the one.

If I had any questions for you I would have contacted you before now. So do you get that? Well if you don’t you better ask somebody. LMBAO!!

Subject: Endorsements

Mr. Dancy,

I came across the Political Agitator website today and was a little dismayed to see that you endorsed Rep. G.K. Butterfield for the 1st Congressional District of NC.  As I have never heard of your website nor have I communicated with you before, I am wondering how you came to such a decision.  I believe that I am the better candidate to represent our district as I have first hand experienced the ineptitude of Mr. Butterfield.  In the future I would appreciate it if you would research the candidates who are running for a political office and then make a qualified statement of support instead of a blind guess.

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Dan Whittacre, Capt, USAF Retired

Candidate for Congress, 1st Congressional District, NC

Butterfield Applauds First District Schools’ Receipt of School Improvement Grant

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) today announced that three schools in the First Congressional District will receive a portion of the School Improvement Grants (SIG) awarded by the U.S. Department of Education.  Coker-Wimberly Elementary School, Greene Central High School, and Warren County High School, along with other select low-achieving schools throughout the state, will receive a portion of the $14,484,742 grant to help turn them around.

“I applaud the Department of Education for investing in our education system by setting aside funding to help states improve student achievement,” Butterfield said. “This money will provide school leaders and teachers throughout North Carolina and in the First District with the resources needed to accomplish the difficult work of improving public education.”

SIG are grants to State educational agencies, which then awards subgrants to local educational jurisdictions that demonstrate the greatest need and the strongest commitment to use the funds to substantially raise the achievement of students in their lowest-performing schools.

The funds are part of $535 million provided through the fiscal year 2011 budget and made available to all states.

Health care, taxes at center of District 1 U.S. House race–Source: Rocky Mount Telegram

A Beaufort County businessman believes his doctrine of limited government, small business investment and lower taxes is enough to trump a six-year incumbent’s re-election efforts.

Republican Ashley Woolard, who hails from Washington, N.C., has stepped forward to challenge three-term U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-1st District, in this year’s midterm election. Butterfield, a former N.C. Superior Court judge from Wilson, has been targeted by Republicans — like many U.S. House Democrats — this election season for what the GOP call liberal stances and controversial votes on health care.

Note: First of all this Republican don’t live in the 1st Congressional District so why in the hell he don’t run in his district? He can’t vote for himself. Just because he is a businessman he has the answers? This Republican is tea party driven. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher
