Thank you for the chance to serve in Congress.

I've taken the lead on issues that affect the lives of millions of Americans - fighting predatory mortgage lenders who have cost people their homes, fighting to keep decent jobs with decent wages in North Carolina, and working to help struggling families squeezed by record healthcare costs and gas prices.

I want to finish those fights, and I need your help to do it.

I would appreciate your help so that I can keep working to put government on the side of ordinary Americans.
