Dear Readers: Blount Today to close
Boys,I never drank antifreeze, don't know anything about animals or missing signs. Don't even have one in my yard. But I know for a fact that FACTS and National Coal have promised to defeat Sen. Finney. Know that the Director of FACTS has a girlfriend who drives his 1999 Navigator with an Overbey sticker on it. If the money hasn't shown yet, it will. They're smart enough to hide it until it's too late to know that the coal companies bought the Republican primary.

Oh yes, be sure to look at the PAC money Doug takes. Abbott Laboratories Employee PAC; AT&T TN PAC; Caremark RX, Inc. Employees Pac; Comcast Corp. PAC; Concerned Automotive Retailers PAC; Eastman PAC; Eli Lilly & Co. PAC; Farris Mathews Branan Bobongo & Hellen PAC (who is that?); Federal Express PAC; Friends of THA; GlaxoSmithKline PAC; (Can you tell Rep. Overbey serves on the House Health & Human Resources Committee?); Independent Medicines PAC; Johnson & Johnson Employees Good Govt Fund; Nat’l Health Corp PAC; PAC-ABLE TN; Suntrusts Banks of TN, Inc. Good Govt Fund; TN Anesthesiologists; TN Bankers Assoc.; TN CPAs PAC; TN Chiropractic Assn PAC; TN Dental PAC; TN Emergency Medicine PAC; TN Health Care Assn PAC. Well you get the point by now. See for yourself, who’s buying your vote? Ask yourself and visit http://www.tennesseeanytime.org/tncamp/ to see for yourself.Oh and its hilarious that Doug accuses Sen. Finney of trying to raise the price of gasoline. Only one candidate is taking money from the local oil executives who are charging you $4/gallon, its Doug Overbey. You can see that for yourself too.
I doubt that Floydthebarber is from NC which raises a question about the truthfulness, but its entertaining. Doug has broad-based support yes. Contributions from Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Livingston, Kingsport, Greeneville, Tullahoma, Oliver Springs, Scottsdale, AZ; Philadelphia, PA; Indianapolis, IN. Why are They interested in this campaign? Ask yourself and visit http://www.tennesseeanytime.org/tncamp/ to see for yourself.
AlcoaGuy0157 and GOP85 - It's funny you use this independent group to criticize Sen. Finney. If you look at the campaign contribution records, Doug Overbey is the one candidate who has received contributions from any of the organizers of this group.
Doug Overbey has been promised lots of money from the coal companies and their lobbying group FACTS if he can defeat Sen. Finney in the primary. We have no coal in Blount County. So why would Rep. Overbey want their money? They have promised to do all they can to defeat Sen. Finney for his attempts to protect our TN mountains.
