Raleigh, N.C. - National political figures from both sides of the aisle
and
Vice President Dick Cheney gathered Tuesday to remember and honor former
U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, joining the longtime senator's family.
Asked one time about his ambitions after serving in the Senate, Helms
replied, "The only thing I'm running for is the Kingdom of Heaven," Sen.
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Senate minority leader, told the packed Hayes
Barton
Baptist Church.
Helms, 86, died July 4 after years of declining health.

Big loss. RIP, Senator.

Sincerely Yours,

On November 4, I'm voting: Straight Republican. Totally Republican. 100%
Republican. Only Republican. All Republican. Nothing but Republican.
Thoroughly Republican. Completely Republican.
