Lauch Faircloth's Senate biography states that he "believes politicians in Washington need to live by the same principles as hard-working men and women..." Well he sure doesn't vote his beliefs. Faircloth consistently represents the interests of wealthy special interests and their Washington lobbyists, not the interests of average working people in North Carolina. He regularly votes to keep in place the corrupt, PAC-greased political system now controlled by the rich and corporate interests, which prevents our democracy from being returned to his constituents. While Faircloth wants corporate America to have free reign, he constantly votes to limit government authority to protect consumers from corporate abuses whether by polluters, the giant insurance industry, unsafe food manufacturers or the makers of defective products. For those actions he is considered one of the most anti-consumer senators in Congress. And Faircloth tops off his double standard by supporting corporate welfare and voting for huge subsidies and tax escapes for some of America's biggest companies.
