merrieeee

Email from TC Dear Friend, Tonight’s debate showed just how out of touch Congresswoman Ellmers is with the needs of the second district. She blamed Clay for the bad economy and admitted that John Boehner was her boss, rather than working for the folks in our district. This is not the first time she has shown her true loyalties. Clay works for the people here in the district, not party leaders or special interests. He is an independent outsider who is not afraid to buck leadership to do what’s right for the district. Help send Clay to Congress with a donation of $25, $50, or $100. Congresswoman Ellmers thinks this is a laughing matter. “There is just a lot of mistrust Americans have for ‘those people in Washington,’” she said, adding with a laugh, “and now I am one of those people in Washington.” I don’t think any of us are laughing. We deserve better. We need someone like Clay who will put the people they represent first. Can you contribute $25, $50, or $100 to help get Clay on TV?

Retweets from Clay!

Well I started to watch it and I hate politics so I turned it off! Bad fan I know. Wral.com I turned it back on......well it was Clay after all. I have no idea who won but I think the moderator was awful.

She surely doesn't like him! Wow!

Clay is retweeting some of the tweets from the media guys.

Hee! Jon Camp ‏@JonCampABC11 17m17 minutes ago Sniping at the Ellmers/Aiken debate: E: "Once again, I think you're confused about how the process works." A: "I'm well aware of civics."

If you read twitter some are concerned he said I don't know a lot but I'll wait till tonight to pass judgement. That was tough. I left a lot out so it should be interesting tonight.

It's over. Now I can breathe!
