Senator Edwards recently campaigned for NC-08 Larry Kissell and described him as the type of leader who will "stand up for the people of his Congressional District" and stated that, "Kissell is as "grassroots as grassroots gets. He's not the "son of mill worker, he is a mill worker!"
Edwards and Kissell have a kinship not only due to the fact that they grew up 10 miles apart but that they understand that America must not only show strength, economic and military strength, but also "moral authority" to lead. "The rest of the world has to respect you. They have to believe in what you're doing" (John Edwards).
Kissell's positions on issues reinforce his progressive beliefs. He's for a a "wrap up on Iraq", less taxes, and strong national security. In his message, "The Road Ahead," he sums up it:
From establishing Administration accountability for a trail of enormous mistakes that have created the mess in Iraq, to the lack of preparation for a future without oil, to a surging national deficit financed by foreign interests, to the growth of government and bureaucratic inefficiency, to rising medical insurance costs, to government corruption, deceit and cronyism, to more Americans in poverty, to a Congress that cuts benefits for average workers only to give tax breaks targeting the wealthiest like our own congressional incumbent.
Back in June, Larry Kissell was added to the ActBlue Netroots page. At that time, Kissell was basically an unknown candidate who faced an uphill battle against. Today, he is the frontrunner, polling ahead at 51-47 against his opponent Robin Hayes, in large part to due his netroots support.
