His new book, With Honor in Hand, is the tale of two friends battling with a serious moral dilemma- a fight between the code of their profession vs. their code  of honor. Mercenaries, the two friends, Douglas “Big Mac” Pollard and Amos Man Killer Stewart, are the truest of professionals and the best at what they do. They have never reneged on a contract, but now find themselves in a position where they wish they could exercise that option.

It is our honor and pleasure to support Terron and recommend his book for your library.

Terron’s book is available from many sources, remember that Barnes and Noble is 100% blue in their corporate giving (v. Amazon that is 100% red).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FROM VIRGINIA’S EIGHTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IS CONGRESSMAN JIM MORAN

Eighth Congressional District Democratic Committee Chair Margo E. Horner announced today that only one Democratic candidate, James P. Moran, Jr. filed to run in the Democratic Primary on June 8, and submitted a filing fee and 1,000 signatures of qualified registered voters in Virginia’s Eighth Congressional District.

Since Congressman Jim Moran was the only candidate to meet the filing requirements, Horner announced that “there is now no need for a Democratic primary.  The Democratic Primary scheduled for June 8 has been cancelled.".

"We are very pleased, said Horner, "to have Congressman Jim Moran as our nominee.  Jim has served with great distinction for nearly twenty years."

Point of Contact is Charles B. (Charley) Conrad , Secretary  Eighth Democratic Congressional Committee.  703 835 6614    charleyconrad@gmail.com

• 10th CD — Jeff Barnett
  • Richard Anthony dropped out to have back surgery, leaving Jeff Barnett unopposed.
• 11th CD — Gerry Connolly (incumbent)
  • No candidate filed to run against Congressman Connolly.

Two candidates have submitted their petitions, Declaration of Candidacy and a receipt showing that their filing fee has been paid to the State Board of Elections: James P. Moran, Jr. (incumbent) and Ronald Mitchell.

The local registrars will review the petitions ensuring that there are 1,000 signatures of qualified voters in the Eighth Congressional District from each candidate, and once the 1,000 signatures’ number for a candidate is met, then their work will stop on that candidate.

Margo Horner, Chair of the 8th Congressional District Democratic Committee, must then submit the Certification of Candidates Form to the State Board of Elections by Wednesday, April 14, 2010, at 5 pm.
