because he believes the issues of economic fairness and social justice are important for all citizens of the 7th District to hear. And guess who wasn't there? That's right, Eric Cantor himself. While Wayne is interested in constructive debate with supporters and critics alike, Mr. Cantor can't even be bothered to show up. (From Wayne Powell on FB)

No thanks.

Hopefully Powell was able to change a few minds though. He's a great speaker that identifies with issues, not party.

'Most of them said they didn't agree with Wayne on everything, but at least he showed up. They applauded him, took pictures of the empty chair they had ready for Cantor. He was very well received.'

I've NEVER agreed with everything a politician has said or done. I never expect to do so.

All I ever expect is to agree with them on my primary concerns.
