HERE'S WHY MORE AND MORE
NORTH CAROLINIANS
ARE SAYING IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE.
JESSE HELMS SAYS IMPROVING THE EDUCATION OF NORTH
CAROLINA'S CHILDREN IS NOT HIS JOB,
North Carolina ranks 49th out of 50 states in SAT scores. But Jesse
Helms is against all federal aid to education. Jesse Helms has the worst
education record in the Senate, rated zero by the National Education
Association. Just this week, Jesse Helms blocked passage of President
Bush's Educational Excellence Act.
JESSE HELMS SAYS FIGHTING A REGIONAL HAZARDOUS
WASTE INCINERATOR IS NOT HIS JOB.
North Carolina is in danger of becoming a toxic waste dumping ground for
the region. But Jesse Helms has criticized Harvey Gantt for speaking out
against a regional incinerator, and Helms has voted 95 times against
protecting North Carolina's environment. Just this week, Jesse Helms
voted against the Clean Air Act.
JESSE HELMS SAYS HE WAS JUST TOO BUSY TO LOOK OUT
FOR THE INTERESTS OF NORTH CAROLINA FARMERS.
After promising North Carolina farmers he wouldn't, Jesse Helms gave up
his position as the ranking Republican on the Senate Agriculture
Committee. This year, Jesse Helms missed 18 out of 19 committee
meetings on the farm bill and then voted against it.
JESSE HELMS SAYS IT COSTS TOO MUCH TO CARE FOR THE
ELDERLY IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Jesse Helms voted against Social Security 25 times, even voting against
cost of living increases for the elderly. Jesse Helms voted against
Medicare 23 times. In fact, the National Council of Senior Citizens found
that Jesse Helms voted against the elderly 99 percent of the time from
1973 to 1988.
IT'S TIME FOR A SENATOR WHO'LL DO THE JOB FOR
NORTH CAROLINA.
IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE.
