Passing of Senior Senator Jesse Helms

by localeyesite on July 17, 2008

North Carolinians and pretty much all Americans held polarized opinions about the career and person of Jesse Helms.  I’ve watched some of the coverage of his career since his passing, and the opinions are passionate and extreme.   

Senator Helms and I were born in the same town, Monroe, NC.  In fact, the Jesse Helms Center is just up the road from my Grandparents house to this day.  So, I thought it fitting in recognition of Senator Helm’s passing to take a look at some of his positions on Healthcare.  Please follow the link below to see his voting record on some key Healthcare related issues.
