To the Editor:

Our NC 11th Dist. Rep. Mark Meadows suggested that he is bored with his job when he stated recently that “... it’s hard for me to stay awake and listen to all of this,” and “we were probably checking our Twitter feed more than we were paying attention” while referring to testimonies before the House Intelligence Committee. 

In October 2018 Meadows stated in a local interview that “I’ve gone from not running on term limits to being a strong advocate for term limits. I think that four terms, really, for a House member should be about right.” In January of this year, Meadows co-sponsored H.J. Res. 20 to limit House of Representatives to only three terms.

Rep. Meadows is in his fourth term; he’s had the job longer than he thinks he should; and he’s bored with it all. Do Western North Carolina a favor, Mark, and show us you mean what you say about term limits.

We have a good replacement: a military veteran who’s interested in protecting our WNC environment; believes in our founding fathers’ system of checks and balances; and knows that WNC workers can’t really live on $7.25 per hour. He’s Maj. Steve Woodsmall.
