CONCEAL NOT THE "TRUTH" FROM VOTERS OF N.C.
HOUSE DISTRICT 48, FORMER NC HOUSE DISTRICT 87
To The Editor:
I am Yvonne Maria Leow who desires "Truth" to be published in The
Robesonian. The "TRUTH" should not be concealed from Voters of NC
House District 48, former NC House District 87.
Sunday, March 3, 2002 Headlines: "Local Lawmakers have Clear Shot
in Primary" page 2A stated, "Bonner and Yongue will face Republican
challengers in November. Bonner will be challenged by James A. Leach
of Hoke County."
Voters are to KNOW the "TRUTH" and not be "MISLED" by The
Robesonian or any other Election Campaign Strategy. James A. Leach
is a "Wiser" Democrat Candidate; not a Republican. When James A.
Leach is elected during the Democratic May Primary, Tuesday, May 7,
2002 for the NC House of Representatives, he will surely do Better for
the NC House District 48, former NC House District 87. The correction
should be published as early as possible.
The Honorable Frances McArthur Cummings was the State Representative
for NC House District 87. Frances is presently enjoying the
"Beauty of Life." Presently, Frances M. Cummings is not affiliated with
any Political Party. In 1996, the Democrat Straight-Ticket Voting
carried Donald Bonne*r to the NC General Assembly. Cummings'
Successful Legislative Achievements were not Surpassed by Democrat
Donald Bonner.
I always believed Donald Bonner carried to the General Assembly a
"Blank Book and Pen" to learn but was unwilling to learn. Bonner did
not even copy from his friend Ron Sutton or his declared "Best White
Friend" Doug Yongue. Therefore, Bonner "FAILED" his people. Yet,
he is happy to receive Taxpayers money without satisfactory representation.
"Very Sad."
James A. Leach, a Wiser Democrat, when elected Tuesday, May 7, 2002,
will ascend the NC Stairway with an agenda for People's Progressive
Prosperity, as Frances M. Cummings, our Beloved Senator David
Weinstein, and State Representative Ron Sutton.
Let us always speak the "TRUTH and Be Blessed."
Peace Be Unto You. AMEN.,
Yvonne Maria Leow

And one out of every six children in

uncertain state of poverty? ill-fed.

to medical care. One out of every

education possible and share that
knowledge as they return to this
community to serve."
