• Also on Tuesday after our event in Fayetteville, I will participate in Lee Greenwood's concert for the Fred Smith for Governor campaign at Methodist University. (For more details see the paragraph below).


• 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.

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

Democrats - the Party of Lawyers

Bruce Walker at the American Thinker has this piece:

The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are lawyers. Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama are lawyers. John Edwards, the other former Democrat candidate for president, is a lawyer and so is his wife Elizabeth. Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate.) Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Benson, went to law school. Look at the Democrat Party in Congress: the Majority Leader in each house is a lawyer.

The Republican Party is different. President Bush and Vice President Cheney were not lawyers, but businessmen. The leaders of the Republican Revolution were not lawyers. Newt Gingrich was a history professor; Tom Delay was an exterminator; and Dick Armey was an economist. House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer, not a lawyer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.

He goes on to say:

We are citizens of a republic which promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.

Today, we are drowning in laws, we are contorted by judicial decisions, we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives.

Breazeale Signs No Earmark Pledge

Washington, DC – Declaring his intention when elected to Congress to forego “Earmarking,” - the practice by which members of Congress divert taxpayer funding to special projects outside of the normal competitive and merit-based review process – Congressional Candidate Will Breazeale (R NC-7) has signed the “Earmark Pledge”.

Striking a cord for fiscal responsibility, Breazeale said “If a project in my district needs and deserves Federal funding I will submit that as a bill or as a budget request – which will be held up to the daylight of public debate and a vote by Congress. I will not request or support these earmarks that go outside of the regular legislative process!”

THEREFORE, I, _Will Breazeale__, in my capacity as _Congressman_, do hereby pledge that I will personally support spending reform in Congress by refusing to seek, support, or enact earmarks during the appropriations process for fiscal year 2009.

“I have no doubt that Rep. Mike McIntyre will avoid signing this pledge, since he has repeatedly submitted earmarks of his own” Breazeale continued “and refused to vote against removing even ridiculous earmarks like Rep. Charley Rangel’s $2 million for a public policy center, conference center and library that will bear Rangel’s name. Senate Republicans called it Rangel’s ‘Monument to Me’.” (Roll call 678)

The pledge is the centerpiece of FreedomWorks’ overall campaign to stop out of control federal spending and end the earmarking process. Grassroots activists will be able to download the pledge and monitor progress at the FreedomWorks sponsored site, www.earmarkpledge.com.

Hello all!

Another long, busy week, I am tired but remain inspired!!! As you saw in our email alert, Friday I appeared on FoxNews. A recording of it can bee seen by viewing the homepage of my website at http://www.awilltowin.com/ or at YouTube.


Be sure to check our calendar of events as we are always booking events near you. We are also receiving calls from many organizations to book me as their speaker. I enjoy campaigning, meeting new people and listening to their opinions. If asked to speak to a group, they don’t get a “canned” stump speech like many politicians give. My remarks always come from my heart, not a paid speechwriter. You can count on an interesting and honest speech with maybe a little humor mixed in as well!
McIntyre has been turning down speaking engagements at a record pace. Whenever it seems our paths are going to cross on the campaign trail, he fails to show up at the event. McIntyre is avoiding me at all costs, which is really bad for you. You the voters should be able to listen to both our views and see the contrast. How can you make an informed choice only hearing one half of the argument? Why is he playing hide and seek with his constituents?
I participated in a national conference call earlier this week concerning the Democrat’s new budget which renders the largest tax increase in history, over $500 Billion Dollars. Do not worry yet, President Bush will come to the rescue with his veto pen, but this situation just shows how important it is for Republicans to take back the House of Representatives. But, staple your wallets shut if the Democrats keep the House and Senate and take over the Office of the President in November 2008.
Thanks to all of you for your encouraging letters and emails. I want to especially thank State Rep. Carolyn Justice of Pender and New Hanover Counties for her support of this campaign. She is wise and energetic and like you, realizes that we need more military experience in Congress to keep us safe.
Saturday I attended a BBQ at State Senate Candidate Bettie Fennell’s home and while there I gained the endorsement of Republican Pender County Commissioner George Brown and Pender School Board member Doris Carlton. What a great bunch of people we have representing us here in the district!
Keep in mind that house parties and coffee receptions DO work and are a great way to get involved! Take care until next week!

Will
PS: We are gearing up for all the spring festivals and are ordering the thousands of palm card handouts we’ll need. Your donation of just $61 will buy 1000 of these great looking cards or even just $30.50 to buy 500. Use this link to go to Slatecard and make that donation right now so we can be ready for the April 9th –13th North Carolina Azalea Festival in Wilmington!

Sweet Deal for McIntyre and Sugar Producers

By Will Breazeale – Candidate for Congress

Wilmington, NC – Order iced tea in Southeastern North Carolina and the waitress will expect you want it “sweet” – with lots of sugar, that is the way many people take it here. Democrat Congressman Mike McIntyre (NC-7) is a fan of sugar as well, to the tune of some $30,000 just since last April. That is how much “Big Sugar” contributed to his campaign in the past year.

According to the NC Dept. of Agriculture web site, sugar is not an NC grown crop or product. These donors to McIntyre’s campaign are predominately from Florida. What is the connection? Why does “Big Sugar” care if McIntyre has enough money to run for re-election?

McIntyre sits on the Agriculture Committee – where the price guarantees for sugar producers originate. H.R 2419 is the reauthorization bill that includes the “sweet deal” for Big Sugar. A very sweet deal! Under this ongoing deal – which H.R.2419 would extend until at least 2012 – the sugar producers get a guarantee from Uncle Sam that if they cannot sell their sugar on the free market for the guaranteed price, Uncle will buy it from them at that price. Besides that, Uncle Sam slaps a tariff on imported sugar to further support the price.

The bill also provides for Uncle Sam to buy sugar at the artificially inflated prices from the producers and then sell it at deep discount to the companies that produce ethanol! What a great idea from McIntyre’s Democrat controlled Congress. Funnel taxpayer’s cash to sugar producers and then sell the sugar at a loss! No wonder this country is Trillions of dollars in debt and the dollar is dropping in value!

By contributing to McIntyre’s campaign “Big Sugar” expected his favorable vote on the bill. They got it.

What did “Big Sugar” get for their money? Not only did McIntyre vote for the whole bill containing the extension and revamping of the sugar program – which he could claim was a vote for other “important” sections of the bill - he voted against an amendment that would have stripped just the sugar program from the bill. (Roll call 751)

Why do you care? Well, the price of Sweet Tea and all other products using sugar are higher because the price of sugar is artificially high. Other products manufacturers move out of the USA so they can buy sugar cheaper.

Sugar is so inexpensive in other countries – like Brazil – that they use it, rather than corn, to make ethanol for fuel. The Government Accountability Office estimates that the sugar program costs US consumers as much as $2 billion a year in higher food prices. Add to that the jobs lost, the taxpayer’s costs and the $30,000 to McIntyre is a drop in the bucket!

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.”
