Hello all,

One day closer to the birthday of Jesus! I have never been a fan of Jesse Jackson, but I do believe in one thing he says: "Keep hope alive!" Christmas reminds me of the hope that Jesus gave us with his sacrifice and his grace for us. We have so much to be thankful for and to "hope" for in this country.

As you read this, I am campaigning hard in Sampson County and The Sampson Independent Newspaper is interviewing me. Sampson County is the only county that McIntyre lost in his re-election effort in 2006. Sampson County is solid Republican proven by the fact that they have a Republican Sheriff who I will be meeting with soon to ensure we win Sampson County in Nov 2008. This past Saturday, I attended a fundraiser for Hospice in Columbus County that was heavily attended by local physicians. I am thankful for the support from many of the dedicated physicians who deliver the excellent Health Care to the citizens of District 7.

The more I talk to people on the campaign trail, the more I realize that illegal immigration is our District's largest and most passionate issue. It really upsets me that the Mexican Government is critical of our efforts to deport illegal immigrants. I have a proposal....let's withhold Mexico's aid package from our government until they seriously help us end illegal immigration.

I was in San Diego, California this past week on a layover with my airline. I was eating at Little Italy and got into a conversation with a group of people concerning illegal immigration. EVERYONE in this liberal city seemed to be in favor of letting illegal immigrants stay. No wonder Californians like them elect Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer.

Let's keep in mind that a large amount of illegal drugs like cocaine are shipped into the U.S. through Mexico. In 2000 242 tons of cocaine were shipped into the U.S. In 2005, the total increased to 397 tons! The border HAS to be secured, even if we have to triple the Border Patrol to make it happen!

How can you help us? Call my scheduler, Ashley Stanton at 910-409-7023 and invite me to speak to a group you are a member of. We have to get our message out to be successful. We will win on the issues but those issues have to be heard. Your financial support will help us get the message out as well, you can mail a check or use your credit card to donate to our campaign at www.aWILLtoWIN.com.

Thanks and God Bless

Will

PS – Have a Safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

The fight for the high ground continues on the campaign trail! This week has been busy. I had a wonderful time having a town hall meeting with students from Waccamaw Academy in Whiteville, NC. Another great thing is that at least half of the students I spoke to will be 18 (voting age) by Nov 2008 and they are overwhelmingly Republican! I would like to thank Mr. Nate Gergel, the government teacher at Waccamaw Academy for the invitation to speak and for his challenging instruction to his students. (My 15 year old daughter Darienne is one of them!)

I also ran a 6.2 mile race with Special Operations soldiers from Fort Bragg. Fort Bragg is hilly and windy which makes for a very challenging run. It brought back visions of when I was a ROTC cadet in 1989 at Fort Bragg when I was being tested by Army officers to make sure I had what it takes to be an Army Officer myself. I issued a challenge to the soldiers to run faster than me in the race. 109 of them did as it took me 48 minutes to cover the 6.2 miles. I drew the name of SSG George Traver of 7th Special Forces Group as the winner of a sightseeing flight over Fayetteville piloted by me for SSG Traver and his family at a date of his choosing. Congrats Sergeant!

Saturday, my aggressive campaign staff and I descended on Bladenboro, NC in Bladen County and St. Pauls, NC in Robeson County to participate in their Christmas parades. Our Democrat competition, Mike McIntyre, decided to sleep in instead of participating in the parades. He must be scared that I would debate his pro-illegal immigration stance with him in public. I also had a great visit with First Baptist Church of Dublin, NC this past Sunday as we worshipped our loving God together.

I want to announce another great addition to our campaign staff in the Campaign Photographer position: Nick Gore. Nick is a 16 year old Senior at Waccamaw Academy in Whiteville, NC and is a wonderfully talented photographer and campaigner. He is very informed on the issues and is a very conservative Republican. He will attend most parades and events to provide pictures for our press releases and website.

I heard from Kim Cotten, President of the Young Republicans of N.C. this week. She was happy to inform me that her organization has adopted our campaign as one of their focus races in the state because of our great prospect for success and our unlimited energy!

Finally, I am excited to announce that our Campaign Manager, Rob Boyce, personally talked to a Top Tier GOP Presidential Candidate about helping our campaign while he was in New Hampshire last week. We are working with the candidate’s staff to put together an event near the South Carolina border with our District...so stay tuned!

Have a great week and enjoy your Christmas shopping!

Breazeale visits Waccamaw Academy

Whiteville, NC – Three American Government classes at Waccamaw Academy in Whiteville were visited by Congressional Candidate Will Breazeale on Thursday November 29th. They learned from him his election issues and discuss those and other topics. The students are planning a trip to Washington DC early next year and will use what they learn to enhance their learning experiences on the trip.

Breazeale is a three tour Veteran of the Iraq Wars and a Major in the Army Reserve. The third tour ended this past June. He expects some of the discussion will involve those related topics.

Among the students was Breazeale’s daughter, who is a student at Waccamaw Academy. The students will be invited to visit Breazeale’s Campaign web site at http://www.awilltowin.com/ where they can find additional information about his background, public statements and issues positions.

SSG Traver wins scenic flight from Will

United States Army Staff Sergeant George Traver, of Headquaters Service Company, 2/7 Special Forces Group, is congratulated on winning a sightseeing flight piloted and donated by Will Breazeale, the Republican Candidate for Congress from District 7. Breazeale is also a Major in the Army Reserve. Breazeale challenged all participants to "beat the candidate" by running faster than him in a 6.2 mile race called the Jingle Bell Jog held at Fort Bragg, NC on 30 November 2007. SSG Traver is happy to have won the prize for he, his wife and children.

Breazeale applauds agreement on Iraq War end

Fayetteville, NC – The Iraqi Government and the US are working toward an agreement by the end of next year that will result in a permanent US military presence of approximately 50,000 troops. This presence is intended to provide security and stability for Iraq and the region.

In a press briefing Monday at the White House, Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute described the agreement between President Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki which lays out a framework to the two countries arriving at an agreement like the “long-term bilateral [agreement] with Korea. There are about a hundred countries around the world with which we have bilateral defense or security cooperation agreements. You should think about the one that's emerging here with Iraq as one in that same sort of setting.”

According to Congressional Candidate Will Breazeale (NC-7), a Major in the Army Reserve who recently returned from his third tour of duty in Iraq, this agreement parallels his stated position calling for such a troop reduction and a permanent presence.

“The Iraqi security forces have the ability in many parts of their country to accept responsibility for their own protection,” said Breazeale, “The Iraqi soldiers I trained in northern Iraq this past year have what they need, we need to give then the ‘keys’ and let them drive! They need a push out of the nest – so to speak”

Breazeale also pointed out that the time may have come to reduce our presence in other places, like Korea – troops deployed to previously war torn areas – that no longer need our stabilizing presence and transfer those troops to the new and similar situation in Iraq.

Will opposes NCCC mandate to accept illegal aliens

Whiteville, NC – Responding to the news that North Carolina’s Community Colleges must now accept illegal alien students, Congressional Candidate Will Breazeale has a somewhat different take than some others quoted in the media. While he agrees with others who have decried the situation and say that if the policy stands they will support legislation to reverse the policy, Breazeale sees it as yet another symptom of the Democrat controlled Congress failing to address the overall problem of illegal immigration.

“If we think of this in terms of my airline, we have planes full of paying passengers – the citizens and legal residents – that are being weighed down by stowaways hiding in the baggage area or impersonating paying passengers – the illegals,” said airline pilot Breazeale, “The planes can still fly for a while but the airline – our society – has to pay more for fuel and maintenance on the overloaded planes and eventually the airline would have to buy more and bigger airplanes in order to keep the paying passengers in the air. Of course the price of those tickets – taxes - will have to rise and the level of service for those paying passengers will decrease as more is demanded by the stowaways.”

The blame for the community college situation lies with current members of Congress who have failed to fully address the illegal immigration problem. The solution will be new members of Congress, like him, who will bring a new determination to solve such problems according to Breazeale, a solution that will include closing the border, increasing security of our social security system, denial of public benefits including attendance of public schools and stopping all federal funds flowing to “sanctuary” cities.

Breazeale is seeking the NC-7th District seat currently held by Democrat Rep. Mike McIntyre. The district covers all or part of ten counties in southeastern North Carolina – from Fayetteville to Wilmington.
