Newsletter 5-26







Hello to all!





As this newsletter is being delivered, I am busy campaigning this Memorial Day in Cumberland County at five different events. The highlight of all these events is Fayetteville's Memorial Day Ceremony where I am honored to serve as the keynote speaker. Mine is a message of thanks for the service of all who gave all in battle for this country, and also a message of challenge to every American to do more for their country. Anything from obeying all laws, to serving your favorite charity, to serving in the United States military.

I was always taught growing up that to achieve positive results you should never quit. It really disappoints me whenever I meet people ready to give up on Iraq and this war against terrorism. Look at what happened in Vietnam. The vocal anti-war protesters, aided by biased media reporting brought about an unconditional withdrawal. This cost the lives of many Vietnamese who had fought with us. It also encouraged the slaughter of millions in other parts of Southeast Asia. Despite that, the seeds of freedom and Capitalism were sown. Vietnam has gone from a war torn country in the early 1970s abandoned to communist rule, to a thriving CAPITALIST country today. They have one of the most productive oil and gas industries in the region and drilling for more. Vietnam has the fastest growing tourist industry in the world. Over 370,000 Americans visited Vietnam last year alone. It took over 30 years, but Vietnam has been won by becoming a system of capitalism NOT communism. Where you have Capitalism, you generally have freedom, but how many lives - Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian - would have been saved if we had not "cut and run"?

I make this correlation to Iraq today. There have been difficult times there, sometimes the situation seemed desperate, but we ARE succeeding and MUST see this fight through. We are setting in motion a transformation similar to the one Vietnam has witnessed but with our support it will not take 30 years and hundreds of thousands or millions of innocent lives. I really believe this in my heart based on my experience in Iraq at all levels of helping their government.

My staff continues to make aggressive plans to win this race for Congress! One of my top priorities continues to be a debate with McIntyre whenever and wherever. The people of this district deserve an open and honest debate on the issues important to the district, to see exactly who it is that will represent them in Congress. I am passionate about your conservative issues and it will show during a debate...I promise!

Organizations all over this country are making their decisions on who to endorse in this race. This means my filling out numerous questionnaires on my positions, making hours of work for me each week. The work is important, especially with McIntyre resisting open debates. These groups help to spread the real word on the issues to the people they represent. The National Association of Wholesale Distributors' Political Action Committee endorsed me for Congress on 14 May 2008. This adds a network of supporters and individual donors to our campaign. Others will announce their endorsements soon. Why not beat the rush and pledge a donation today at our web site aWILLtoWIN.com.

I sincerely hope that you will continue to talk about my campaign
to your friends. Please keep the support coming!

Remember the Fallen today,

Take care!

P.S. Over a year ago, Mike McIntyre sponsored a bill which was to "fix" the price of gas - that was when gas was under $3 a gallon. He and his liberal cronies have sure succeeded - they fixed it at $4 a gallon. How long can we afford representation like that? Please go on-line now and donate to send a real Representative of the people to Washington!
