Now that Kamala Harris has been coronated the Democratic Socialist designee for nomination as their candidate for President of these United States, after that political party's contrived primary process "democratically" elected Joseph R. Biden: What are your feelings about this party's progressive posture within their self-styled exercise of "Saving Democracy for America," and how truly critical the outcome of this presidential election will be?

12.5% I am ecstatic that this "Democracy's" First partially Black, First partially Indian, First female Co-Parent, and this nation's primary necessity is to her elect our First woman president.

25% I really do not care about all these "Firsts." I will continue to pray, and work for this Representative Republic to elect someone competent, and brilliantly patriotic to be our next president.

62.5% I will never vote for any politician that "first" does not have the core values to understand how dire this Constitutional Republic's situation has become.

After graduation he went on to pursue a higher education at Chowan College. Shortly after, Richard began working in the medical field where he met Cheri Clements. He and Cheri were married and had two children, Anna and Weston, whom they both loved deeply.

    Richard loved to hunt, fish, wood working, playing cards and guitar. He often enjoyed spending time at home playing music and singing with his former wife Cheri and family. He also was an extremely talented carpenter and wood worker with a hobby of making tables, chairs, bedposts, and other intricate items. Richard loved to spend time with his brothers and children, but cherished the time he was able to spend with his grandchildren, especially his youngest grandson Cayden.

    Later in life, Richard, became a welder/metal fabricator. He enjoyed working in the field and took great pride in his work, but more over being able to support his family. Over the course of his lifetime he worked at several places in Beaufort County, including: Charcoal Service located in Bath, Flanders Filters, P&G Manufacturing, and EPA all located in Washington.
