Terry Bellamy:
Who Will She Be
in Congress?
Letter to the Editor:
In order to know who
Terry Bellamy will be as she
represents the 10th District
in Congress, it is important
to know what type of leader-
ship Terry has demonstrated
during her political career.
She is a leader with integrity,

character, and vision and
these attributes will be noted
in her leadership role in Con-
gress. She will be a repre-
sentative recognized not
only as a leader for her con-
stituents, but also as one who
will work for change in our
country to make it a more
peaceful, hopeful, and com-
passionate place, a place
where more people feel ac-
cepted and valued for who
they are.
Terry has passion for pro-
viding leadership that helps
communities turn challenges
into opportunities for posi-
tive change and growth. She
is highly respected for her
ability to reach across differ-
ences and work collabora-
tively with everyone at the
table to get the job done. It is
through this collaborative
spirit that Terry’s leadership
leads to solutions, not grid-
lock.
Having observed Terry in
her role as Councilwoman
and Mayor of Asheville, we
know who Terry Bellamy
Will Be in Congress? She
will be the best choice to
represent the 10th District.
VOTE for TERRY BEL-
LAMY
. David and Willa Wyatt
Mars Hill, NC
Please vote for
NC Amendment
One
Voting for Amendment
One does not make you a
bad or even judgmental per-
son.
Marriage should be be-
tween one man and one
woman. The Bible is clear
about that and God has al-
ready made that judgment.
We cannot tell others
what choices to make related
to how they live. We do have
the right not to’agree with or
support their choices. We
can be civil to others and still
disagree with them.
Our state and our nation,
by way of the people we
elected, ‘are moving us fur-
ther and further away from
our religious base. How can
they ask you not to follow
your beliefs?
The lesbian, gay, bi-sex-
ual and transsexuals are well
organized and will turn out
in droves for the upcoming
election. If you believe mar-
riage should be between one
man and one woman then
please vote yes for Amend-
ment One and don’t be
ashamed of your vote.

Vote Yes
Dear Editor,
We appreciate “Kings
Mountain Herald”!
As we go to vote May 8,
we will vote YES to Amend-
ment 1, marriage being 1
man and 1 woman, taught in
God’s word.
Sincerely,
Jim and Mary Lochridge
