Shameful Support

Regarding the March 14 article "Burr, Hagan join on tobacco": It is unconscionable that our senators and representatives believe they should continue to support the discount cigarettes industry. The death toll alone is appalling. More than 20,000 North Carolinians die each year from tobacco-related diseases!
The electorate spoke clearly this past November. Change is called for. No longer should we support a dangerous crop that has killed millions.

It is shameful that modern politicians like Sens. Richard Burr and Kay Hagan and Rep. Bob Etheridge grovel for the contributions of the tobacco interests instead of making an effort to convert our agriculture into producing more sustainable and healthful products. To them it's business as usual despite the evidence that we have a clear choice to make to protect our health.

We all have family among the 47,000 tobacco industry workers, and we are concerned about their livelihood. But to say that modern North Carolina cannot put them to better use in other types of agriculture or other industries is ridiculous and a cop out.

We do need change, and it should start right here in North Carolina on this issue.
