Clarification is needed for all Moore County Republicans. David Burton is not our party’s Webmaster! (Refer April 21 issue of The Pilot, “Coble Defends Bush at District Convention” article written by Florence Gilkeson.)

The article reported negative comments about Co-Speaker Morgan that were in an open letter to Kenny Kidd and other supporters of Rep. Richard Morgan signed by Dave Burton, “Webmaster for the Moore County GOP Web Site.”

Extremely misleading! There are only three letters that differentiate his site from the authorized Moore County Republican Party’s. Although various Moore County Republican Party leaders have asked Mr. Burton to alter his site address and end the confusion, he has refused to do so.

Mr. Burton has become an avowed, outspoken enemy of Rep. Richard Morgan. Fortunately, he is a resident of Wake County and, in turn, unable to vote for elected officials who represent Moore County. Although he is entitled to his opinions, Moore County voters need to be aware that he is not a member of the Moore County Republican Party.

Visit www.mooregop.com the Moore County Republican Party authorized Web site address designed to inform and educate voters from an unprejudiced point of view.
