(3/23) - Jesse Helms, the late ultra-conservative senator from NC is now being hailed as a victor of AIDS victim's rights by those in charge of his estate. He was anything but. As a person who had three friends in NC that died of AIDS related causes, I know he fought them 100% of the way. Yet Helms' estate wants to lie and hoist him up in history as a champion for human rights. DO NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. Write the Helms estate directors and demand they not lie. Tell them you will expose the truth. Demand they do the same. Helms was a racial and homophobic bigot. THAT is the truth. - WS
