Newsletter 4-28

Hello all!

The schedule continues to be busy and the money keeps on coming in! As you read this, I am doing a week of Army Reserve duty in Charlotte rewriting a regulation on our training standards. I am often asked, how can you be a Major in the Army Reserve AND run for Congress?

The answer is in my status. Since I am a soldier in the Army Reserve, I can be a federal candidate. If I were in the active or full-time Army, I could NOT be a candidate because of the Hatch act provided for in Federal law.


I disagree with this act concerning full-time soldiers but it is what it is for the time being. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina still serves as a Colonel in the Air Force Reserve and is the highest profile Reservist in Congress. When it comes to my duty in the Army Reserve, I place it as higher priority than my campaign because of my sense of duty to our country. I will have at least another week of duty before the election in November, but rest assured that while I am away at duty, my great staff and county coordinators are hard at work!

I am very encouraged by the number of fundraising house parties people from all over the district have scheduled in May. There is even a stretch where we have 5 parties in four days! This is key to getting the word out as well as adding to our cash on hand for advertising this fall.

The neediest county in the 7th Congressional District is Robeson County. The Lumbee Indian tribe, which constitutes a major part of the county, thanks too the efforts of Senator Elizabeth Dole, is now closer to receiving $80 Million in federal funding. A disturbing statistic that came out as part of the story on her pending legislation, it came out that Robeson County is the POOREST county in North Carolina. This is particularly disturbing since our sitting Congressman, Mike McIntyre (until election day) has been in office for almost 12 years and this is his home county! He cannot help his own county, much less the rest of the district. You see, what matters is not only how a Congressman votes on an issue, but how he FIGHTS for that issue and and the people involved. McIntyre is content to take all of us for granted because he has felt up until now, his job is safe.

I took my campaign to a Hilliary Clinton function in Fayetteville a few days ago. What I found was that the majority of the Democrats I spoke with LOVE the Fairtax!

A Democrat I met this week sent the following e-mail to my Campaign Web site:

"You have my vote! I will be voting outside of my partyaffiliation for the first time. I am a huge Fair Tax supporter and your position on that issue alone wins my vote. I truly believe that most all of the major problems facing our country can be addressed by implementing the fair tax. I hope we can start a tax revolution, and I know the Congress is the best place to start.

I wish you all the best--Keep the Fair Tax torch burning!!

Thanks for your service to our country!

This is just one issue that will attract many Democrat votes to me in this election. McIntyre is running scared of this issue, he is trying to publicize his sponsorship of the "Tax Fairness Act", a bill in Congress that would preserve the IRS and the income tax. He claims that it satisfies the desire for reforming the tax code. But it is clear that if the income tax remains and the IRS stays in place the big spending social engineers will continue to play their games with the tax code. Instead of defending his liberal positions, McIntyre is trying to steal my conservative issues! How Conservative was he being when he voted to place Nancy Pelosi two heartbeats from being President? (Click here to watch a YouTube about this)

I ask for your continued support of our campaign. I am working 80 hours per week bearing your conservative burdens because they matter, especially in this weakened economy, and to keep attention on them in the media. Your generous contribution at aWILLtoWIN.com will help us in this fight!

With Faith,




Will

PS: We are preparing to mail information to the voters in District 7 detailing the differences between McIntyre and myself. This will cost around 25 cents per voter, your $100 donation today would let us send that important info to 400 voters. Click here or go to aWILLtoWIN.com
