Dorothy Helms pens letter to help Burr

[ccharles000]

Dorothy Helms, the widow of the late Sen. Jesse Helms, has sent out a fund raising letter for Republican Sen. Richard Burr, asking her husband's former supporters to back Burr, Rob Christensen reports.

"I know Jesse would want all of us to do what we can to help Richard this year," Mrs. Helms writes. "Richard represents North Carolinians well in the Senate. He uses a common-sense approach to solving our nation's problems, and he has been recognized by his colleagues for his ability to get things done."

"Simply put," she writes, "Richard Burr is a work horse, not a show horse."

Helms, who like Burr is a Republican, represented North Carolina in the Senate from 1973 until 2003.
