Candidate Biography (submitted by candidate):

Greg Dority is a 1981 graduate of North Carolina State University where he majored in Political Science. He spent most of the 1980's directing security at the ABC News Washington, DC bureau before departing just prior to the Gulf War in 1991. During the 1990's he worked in various capacities within the security field and traveled extensively in the Balkans and Caucuses. He did his graduate work at The George Washington University and today is Managing Partner of Sterling Security in Washington, North Carolina.
 
Following the events of September 11, 2001 Greg began a professional transition to International Development. His work experience focused on economic restructuring of post-war regions, to include a stint with the Christian humanitarian organization World Vision. In 2003 he served as a member of the United Nations Security Advisory Board in Tirana, Albania.
 
Greg is a widower with a thirteen year old daughter. His current message of fiscal conservatism is directed toward shaping the future that she and her contemporaries will be challenged with. He makes his home in Washington, North Carolina where he is active in Republican politics and local civic organizations.

The economic policies of the Democratic party are destroying the American middle class. The Keynesian philosophies of the post-war era have been shattered upon the rock of ever-escalating spending and gargantuan magnitudes of debt. Now the American dream rests in ruins at the hands of career Democratic politicians.

That an economic crash will occur is no longer in doubt.  The only question that remains is whether fiscal conservatives will be elected en masse in November to cut spending and restore Constitutional measures to brace for the hard landing next spring.  The major banks are insolvent -- their liabilities exceed their assets -- and no amount of so-called stimulus can repair their shattered balance sheets.  There will be no recovery until there is courage to let these institutions fail.

If there is one thing lacking in the Democratic party now it is courage. There will be a GOP tsunami in November the likes of which this country has never seen before.  I pledge to go to Washington and always honor the Constitution.
