McHenry is the Representative from the 10th Congressional District. And even more of a mouthpiece for Bush than Myrick or Dole. But this time, he didn’t vote the same as them. If you know anybody in the 10th Congressional District (basically from SC border of western Gaston Co, to the edge of Mooresville, and west to Catawba county, Avery and Mitchell counties) let them know about this, its appalling. Although, I’ve yet to see competitors for Myrick in my district (9th) and McHenry. Has anybody else heard anything??
