February 27 Cont.

The shutdown and the sequester have caused enough harm already to our military personnel and their families.
Any more cuts to our military is unacceptable. This is an issue where both parties should agree.
It was an incredible day on the campaign trail. Great to stand with family in Wake County this morning and then travel the district.
So many of you have given to our campaign today. Please chip in $10 more to get us to our goal for the week act.myngp.com/Forms/52345901… #nc02
Thanks to all who #StandWithClay by giving. Please join them act.myngp.com/Forms/52345901…

good to see @clayaiken at the precinct meeting tonight! good luck!

Clay's reply:

RE: military cuts — I oppose any cuts in pay/benefits for military personnel. Too many veterans in NC have already been hurt.

Thank You, Robert Holding

Thank You, Robert Holding

Gary Pearce posted on March 06, 2014 12:27

He helped answer two questions that I get a lot: Why are you helping Clay Aiken? And, of course: What’s he like?

When Holding said he was considering running against Renee Ellmers in the Republican primary (he didn’t, in the end), he said she “has gone Washington.” He added, “Do not underestimate Clay Aiken. He’s speaking from the heart. If he gets off the ground there is a concern on my side that he could get loose and win that thing.”

Bingo, Robert.

Aiken is known for his singing voice, but he has a unique political voice. As he showed in hisannouncement video, he tells his life story in a compelling way, he captures the public’s disgust with Washington dysfunction and he offers a clear and refreshing contrast. And he’s bringing attention to a race that wasn’t on the radar.

What’s he like? The first thing people say is: “You’re taller than I expected” (an inch or two over six feet.) He’s genuine, down-to-earth and likeable. Self-assured in the way successful people are, but not cocky. He’s not intimidated by cameras, media scrutiny or the Republican tracker who tapes his every move and utterance. Been there, done that.

He’s tougher, smarter and more informed than people expect. He’s a sponge for information and he sets high standards for himself and people around him.

He has a genuine distaste for what politics in America has become, just like many voters. And he has an internal compass that steers him clear of politics-as-usual. He’s a welcome contrast to a cynical, power-hungry, money-obsessed political world.

And his campaign is attracting smart, idealistic and committed young people. That’s good for the Democratic Party.

Martin Nesbitt believed that his job was to vigorously represent the people who lived in his district. He did that throughout his career.

When I began my campaign for Congress, I said that I believe people in my corner of North Carolina want a Congressman who listens to them.
Some people think that’s too optimistic. And I can understand why. There is so much cynicism and negativity in politics today.
It seems that the loudest, most extreme voices get all the attention. And that needs to change.
As I traveled across the district last week, I met so many ppl who still believe that our brightest days are ahead of us.
They know what is possible when you work together. They represent the true values of North Carolinians.
I am ready to keep fighting for you. Will you stand with me? act.myngp.com/Forms/52345901… #NC02 #ncpol
