Last week Congressman Bob Etheridge’s son told him that he was going to have to destroy 1.5 acres of sweet potatoes because there were no farm laborers available to harvest them. Bob urged him to postpone destroying the potatoes long enough to let him do some creative thinking and action. Congressman Etheridge called the Harnett Food Pantry in Lillington where he learned from Director Carolyn Cox that the Pantry would be glad to receive and distribute the sweet potatoes if people could be enlisted to harvest them.

    NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: January 15, 2010 Barb Bradley President and CEO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Office: (919) 834-6623 ext. 224 Fax: (919) 829-7299 Email: [email protected] Action on health reform Imminent: N.C. House Democrats who voted against bill represent districts that would benefit the most from reform Raleigh -- Major agreements on health reform are being made today as House and Senate leadership aim to get a health insurance reform bill on the President's desk as soon as possible. The three North Carolina House Democrats who are likely to stand against the bill on the final vote represent districts that would benefit most from health reform. Congressmen Mike McIntyre, Larry Kissell and Heath Shuler -- the three North Carolina Democrats who voted against the House-passed health reform bill back in November -- represent districts with uninsured rates among the top five in the state. A report by the Urban Institute demonstrates that in both uninsured children and uninsured all non- elderly, those three Congressmen's districts are among the worst five in the state, and all are worse than the national averages. Here are the numbers: These are compared to national averages of 9.9% children uninsured and 17% all non-elderly uninsured. "We hope all our leaders in Washington realize how badly North Carolinians need health insurance reform," said Barb Bradley, President and CEO of Action for Children North Carolina, a nonpartisan, statewide child advocacy group. "Health care premiums are rising much faster than earnings in this state, and North Carolina is losing employer-based health care faster than almost every other state in the nation.
