This man was acknowledged and voted the most friendly, curteous member of Congress consistantly. Why, because he was just that. Of course detractors try to make it wrong for him to stand up to those who viciously attacked, placed blocks in legislation he advocated. For them it was being cruel for him to use the same tactics to block thier efforts. Liberals all have the same tac, they will say and do anything to make the USA just like Bangladesh. Read their icon Dr. Rawls. Senetor Helms was stalwart, brave, and bold in opposition to that sort of character. He alone stood up to the UN and got that lame outfit to somewhat be improved. Only a Helms could and would do that, others jjust lay back and let someone else do the heavy lifting. Senator Helms was tuned into the people he represented, and he represented all regardless of race, political persuasion, whatever. if you had a legitimate problem, Helms came to your aid. The Democrats of Charlotte having difficulty with the status with Germans exhaused their impotent and in power fellow democrats, and a last hour appealed to Jesse who helped the airport and NC. It was a legitimate difficulty. Sen. Helms always replied to letters, calls. I found him uplifting, and am proud to call him friend, and my advocate in congress. He will be missed by me and those like me to our own graves. Few men earn the respect Jesse Helms has earned. His detractors can go on and continue to criticize him, and in doing so they admit he was by far the better man. God Bless Jesse and take him into your arms. Nobody deserves it more.
