TO THE EDITOR:
For the past six years, Senator Richard Burr, R-NC, has faithfully and effectively served the citizens of North Carolina in the United States Senate.
He has been an exemplary steward of taxpayers’ money and has continually fought for the benefit of his constituents.
In an attempt to address the ongoing massive federal spending, Sen. Burr recently co-sponsored a resolution that would require the federal government to annually balance the budget as many state legislatures are currently required to do so.
He also supports the freezing of discretionary domestic spending at the 2008 levels, which would save taxpayers almost $900 billion over the next ten years.
Recognizing the importance of the military to North Carolina, Sen. Burr has worked tirelessly to secure quality medical care and benefits for our veterans.
He has sponsored numerous pieces of legislation that have made it easier for veterans to receive health care services, as well as worked closely with the VA to open six new community based outpatient centers throughout North Carolina to sustain our growing population of veterans.
Sen. Burr has also supported legislation expanding the educational opportunities for veterans under the GI Bill.
Sen. Burr is a passionate legislator with the best interests of North Carolinians at heart. We need to keep Sen. Burr in the United States Senate so that he can continue to fight for our future and the future of our country.
