Eaves Interviewed by Bolivar Commercial

Eaves recently sat down with the Bolivar Commercial for an interview. Here are some choice quotes:
“I am a Democrat because I am a Christian,” said Eaves. “Jesus came to help the sick and heal the poor. He came and it was all about people, not about profit. He was not about self-service, He was not about greed, and He was about helping. I believe that at the core that is what the Democratic Party’s message is.
...
“I am so disturbed that we are striving for ‘adequate,’” said Eaves. “The great people of Mississippi deserve excellent education. We can do that in so many different ways. We have to give our children the investment that they need in order to create the economic opportunity that our people deserve.”
...
“I look around we have the greatest character of people in the world,” said Eaves. “We have the highest charitable giving in Mississippi. We are the home of the blues, the home of country music and the home of great literature. There is evidence of an outpouring and a soul in Mississippi like no other.”
Eaves is nothing if he isn't consistent. He is proud of his Christianity and is acting on it. I'm glad to see another Democrat who is willing to speak openly about his faith.

  1. Eaves is very inspiring, a man who considers himself a Democrat because of his faith in the Lord!Here is a guy who talks the talk and walks the walk, driven by his faith to try and improve the daily lives of the average working, struggling Mississippian! God bless you,sir!
