McIntyre still balking at endorsing a Democrat Presidential Candidate

Washington, DC – Rep. Mike McIntyre is still waiting to see which way the wind blows before deciding, as a Super Delegate to the Democrat National Convention, who to back for President. Although the North Carolina primary is over and Hillary won his district he is still not saying.
News reports have him attending meetings with both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in DC after the NC votes were tallied but neither swayed him. Perhaps he understands the voters in his district better than the national party machine does. Every Presidential election since McIntyre was first elected in 1996 the district has cast a majority vote for the Republican. George W. Bush carried it with 54%. Even Bob Dole won there!
McIntyre knows that he needs votes from people who will not vote for the Democrat at the top of the ticket, either Hillary or Obama. He also knows that his district will also vote to re-elect Sen. Elizabeth Dole this fall. He doesn't want to make any of them angry with him. In fact, he might just want to show up at campaign events wearing Dole and McCain lapel stickers. After all the rank and file Democrats will automatically vote for him just because he is a Democrat but those Blue Dogs, the Reagan Democrats – the Conservative Democrats who have voted for him in the past might just slip and support one more Republican as they scroll down the ballot. With Conservative Republican candidate Will Breazeale, a Major in the Army Reserve and an airline pilot, he faces his strongest challenge since his fist election.

Hello from the front lines of politics!

I have big news for the upcoming week! This Thursday, April 3rd at 3:15pm, I am holding a press conference at the Fayetteville Airport to welcome my Iraqi interpreter from Northern Iraq: Bangian Aldosakee, known as “Benny” to those of us in the coalition forces. Benny served as my interpreter in all sort of combat situations for a year while I was advising the Iraqi Army from 2006-2007. He is brave, talented, and loves America. Benny has recently legally immigrated to New York State and is coming to Southeast N.C. to campaign with me as my special guest. Benny will be here April 3^rd thru the 18th and will make many appearances all over our Congressional District. I hope all of you can be at our press conference and welcome celebration for Benny on April 3^rd! If you have an organization that you would like Benny to speak to, please call our scheduler at 910-409-7023. This may be the only chance in your life to meet an Iraqi Citizen visiting in our area with such a great story to tell!

What a great week I have had. I was honored by the presence of Representatives John Linder (R-GA) and Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA) at a house party fundraiser for my campaign last Friday night in Newnan, GA. The fundraiser was attended by pilots, managers and corporate officers of Airtran Airways in financial and moral support of our campaign. Rep. Linder, who also happens to be a fellow FairTax supporter, made a great point to the crowd: Mike McIntyre, our Democrat competition, is a nice guy, but his votes in Congress are NOT in keeping with the conservative values McIntyre claims to represent. Rep. Linder also made a point that if you value me bearing your burdens as a candidate campaigning 80 hours per week in order to represent you in Congress in the way you should be represented, then show you support by "writing a check!" I could not agree more. Today is the last day to give before our quarterly report deadline. Please take your credit card out and donate on our website.

This past week also found me on stage with Sen. Fred Smith and Lee Greenwood in Fayetteville. That followed an event for our campaign at the Fayetteville North Regional Library. Most of my supporters also left after our event to attend the Smith event. A very good evening!

Thursday night I was honored to speak at a fundraiser event for South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham in Spartanburg, SC.

Tuesday night saw me meeting with a group of students at the UNCW campus in Wilmington. What a great bunch of young people, all taking an active interest in politics!

Wednesday started off with a long visit on the Curtis Wright show on The Big Talker FM. Callers had several interesting questions – particularly one about what I would actually do in Washington, was I all talk about what was wrong or would I follow through with positive action. I answered that, as one of 435 members of the House I would promise to take a positive, conservative stand against increased taxes and pork barrel spending. That I would work with other like minded members of Congress and NC state officials to convince a majority to vote with us on the important issues. I am already building those “bridges” now with my contacts during the campaign with people like Representatives Linder and Westmoreland, Senators Elizabeth Dole, Richard Burr and Lindsey Graham, NC Representatives Foxx, Hayes, Myrick, and McHenry, Senator Fred Smith and Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory. By building this network now and by growing it between now and November, when I am sworn in next January as the new Congressman from the 7^th District of North Carolina I will be off and running and ready to make a positive difference.

The District 7 Convention is this coming Saturday, April 5th in Bolivia. I hope to see all of you there as we confidently stride toward winning this race!!!!

Thanks

Will

• Tuesday evening at 5:30 pm we are holding a fundraiser in Fayetteville with fans of my endorsement of the FairTax.


• Friday we’ll be having a huge event in Newnan, GA, near Atlanta, organized by my fellow pilots at AirTran Airways in which will Congressmen Linder and Westmoreland, both Republicans from Georgia will be speakers.


• Saturday morning I'll be campaigning at the Planter's Day festival in White Oak, NC in Bladen County.


• Then at 4:00 pm. I will be giving a speech at the Politician's Appreciation Day in Elizabethtown.
  

I will be making a special announcement with Fred Smith and Lee Greenwood just before honoring our veterans with Lee's "God Bless the USA." Anyone attending our fundraiser, which begins at 5:30 pm, right before the Lee Greenwood concert are invited to Fred's fundraiser concert where they will have special reserved seating (Fred's campaign is asking for a $25, per person, donation to his campaign). What an exciting night!!!!

We are welcoming George Bell as our County Coordinator of Brunswick County. George currently serves as a Precinct Chairman in Brunswick County for the Republican Party as well. He and his family are dedicated Republicans ready to help us win Brunswick County in Nov 08! His email address is brunswick@breazeale08.com. Contact him if you live in Brunswick County to become part of our organization. Please contact Rob Boyce, my Campaign Manager, if you live in any other county and would like to volunteer! We will have some special perks for our County Coordinators so sign up now!

Mcintyre's flip-flops continue....McIntyre supported the Iraq War resolution to attack Iraq in 2002. Last year, he voted with his leader, Nancy Pelosi, the very liberal Speaker of the House – his first vote in 2007 was to elect her speaker! - to immediately withdraw all troops from Iraq no later than April 2008. Now, McIntyre says the soldiers need to stay until Iraq's government is strong enough to run their own country. The people of District 7 deserve a Congressman who shows leadership, not one who changes his position like a weather vane in a hurricane! On November 4th the voters will show Mike McIntyre that they want this Veteran -- and not a trial lawyer -- representing them in Congress!

Keep the House Party requests coming!!!!

Take care

Will

PS - When Sen. Elizabeth Dole was head of the Red Cross she says she asked people for only three things: their time as volunteers; their money – as donations; and their blood! Well, I am not asking for your blood! but I need your time and your money! Go to aWILLtoWIN.com today to sign up!

Breazeale Applauds GOP Senators for Illegal Immigration Bills

White Lake, NC – Congressional candidate Will Breazeale (NC-7) today thanked a group of US Senators, including Sen. Elizabeth Dole (NC-R), for bringing forward a set of bills that would address many of the issues of illegal immigration. “We have to deal with this problem in a straight forward manner. These bills are not the amnesty proposals put forward by Pelosi and Reid, said Breazeale. “If these bills can be passed – either now or after we Republicans take back Congress next November – we will see a marked reduction in the number of illegal aliens and in the damage they do to our economy.”
Several of the bills would: • Block federal funding from cities that bar their police from asking about immigration status.• Give the Department of Homeland Security the authority to use information from the Social Security Administration to locate illegal aliens.• Require construction of 700 miles of fencing along the Southern border.• Impose sanctions on countries that refuse to repatriate their citizens.• Deport any illegal alien just for one drunken-driving conviction.• Enable local and state police to enforce federal immigration laws
“Of particular importance is the deportation of illegal aliens convicted of crimes, particularly DUI”, remarked Breazeale. “We have really started to reduce the DUI deaths in this country and too many now are from illegal aliens with serial DUI records.”
