Dear....... The News & Observer is one of the most widely read newspapers in North Carolina. And today, Clay snagged their endorsement. "There is a need for members of Congress who will sing a different tune and sometimes a duet with the opposition,” the N&O wrote. “It’s time for Clay Aiken.” The N&O endorsement of Clay is glowing. And just as much as the N&O sees Clay as a driver for change in an ineffective Congress, they see our opponent as one of the biggest roadblocks to any progress. "Ellmers is a part of the problem by being dogmatic and uncompromising," the N&O wrote. "Even more troubling, she does not concede there is a problem.” This endorsement is big for our campaign. We’re just 11 days away from the election, and polls are already open for early voting. Today’s endorsement is part of a huge wave of momentum behind this campaign. In just the past week, Clay also picked up the endorsements of the Southern Pines Pilot and the INDY Week. Yesterday, the Associated Press and Reuters ran stories about our campaign and captured the enthusiasm surrounding Clay’s candidacy and the dissatisfaction with the performance of our opponent. With only 11 days left, it’s clear the momentum is on our side, and it’s clear this is a campaign we can win. To help us win, we need to ask you to give it all you can. Please give $100, $50, $25 or whatever you can afford to help us in these final 11 days. Thanks for your support -- we're almost there!
