<<< Tea Party all the way, running for Representative in the House. Her Democrat opponent once was afraid that Guam might tip over and sink into the Pacific.
Here is a moving recollection of flying into New York on
September 11, 2001 and watching in horror - out of an airplane window - as
the World Trade Center towers were in flames. Liz Carter is the Republican nominee running for
Congress against incumbent Hank Johnson (D-GA-04) in the Atlanta metro area.The
pilot announced, “It’s a clear day and we are just passing over Manhattan. If
you look out the window you will see….” His voice trailed off as I stared out
my window in shock. A plane had just hit The World Trade Center Tower and smoke
was starting to bellow into the air. As confusion reigned, nobody
knew what exactly was happening... A series of announcements from a pilot
who was clearly in shock. “We are not quite sure what type of aircraft has hit
the tower,” “Ladies and gentleman we have just learned the tower has been hit
by a commercial jet,” “Please stay calm as we attempt to find out what is
happening,” “A second plane has hit The World Trade Center,” and then something
happened. I tried to reflect on my life, but memories of my father’s teachings
about our Country, my America, rushed into my head. I felt my core wrench in disbelief
upon the realization that something was very wrong. Read all of Liz Carter's blog post here... You may
remember Carter's opponent Johnson as the Congressman who feared that the island
of Guam would "capsize and sink" if more military personnel were
housed there.
