Richard Burr is the Candidate for Big Business

Elaine Marshall is for the rest of us

Fred Erwin is a professional firefighter for the City of Greensboro and member of Local 947. Fred says it's the greed of Wall Street and big business that created our current jobs crisis. Richard Burr made it possible by voting for trade agreements that ship our jobs overseas. He also voted against unemployment benefits for workers who have had to live with the consequences of his votes. In Richard Burr, big business has its candidate. Working families need a candidate who's for the rest of us.

Watch the video:
