KING: of NC delegates works to get Party going in Florida; Isaac won't rain on this parade FROM Page 1. we are in and to do that we must have a President who has signed the front of a paycheck," King said. "Gov. Romney has done just that. He has built huge businesses that have been successful and knows how to create jobs. This conven- tion theme will be about the economy and jobs, which is on the forefront of every American's mind." "I am excited about what these two fine men will do for the United States," King said, hinting that Ryan was a good . «pick for VP. "First of all, he's a man of principle. He is a bold visionary individual that presents not only problems with the . budget and economy, but broad-based solutions. This has “been his track record in Congress and I feel that he will do the same if not more as VP." This is King's third trip to a Republican National Con- vention, but his first time serving on the Party's platform Is it a Muscadine or a Scuppernong? All Scuppernongs are Muscadines but not all Muscadines are Scuppernongs. Muscadines is a broad category of grape that includes many cultivars of both bronze and black grapes. Both bronze and dark cultivars taste great and make wonderful jams, jellies, pies, juices, and wines. Scuppernong is one of the bronze cultivars and were the first muscadine grapes discovered and cultivated in America. With Scuppernong being one of the oldest and most popular cultivars, the name is sometimes used to refer to any bronze cultivar of muscadine. There are now many other sabivers of muscadines used both in wine production and for fresh eating. To be precise it is better to use the term muscadine when uncertain of the cultivar. oPESDy Og * farm © 1811 Shelby Rd. Kings Mountain 704.734.0420 Open: M-F 10-6:30 © Sat 10-5:30 committee. One male and one female delegate from each state are chosen to serve on the committee. The commission's purpose is to construct the GOP plat- form which outlines the Party's core beliefs and the Party's stance on key issues, facing our nation. It is traditionally com- prised of some of the top Republican leaders from around the nation. j King succeeded United States Senator Richard Burr as Chairman of the Delegation and as platform committee mem- ber for this week's convention. Burr chaired the delegation to the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minneapolis / St. Paul. "Tampa is a beautiful city and the people of Florida have been great," King said. "I am very excited about this con- vention." E King, considered one of the "young guns" of the Repub- * lican Party, unseated the state GOP's incumbent vice chair last year at the state convention.#At 30 years old, he was per- haps the youngest man in the country to take the second most-high position in a state Republican party. At 27, in 2007, he was well on his way beating out two opponents for chairman of the Cleveland County Republican Party. Two years later, he was elected chairman of the 10th Congressional District. And now, in his service as NCGOP vice chair, King continues to fight for the Party he loves.
