merrieeee Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Facebook postIt's been 11 years since I was on the cover of Rolling Stone. I was a North Carolina kid who achieved a dream because of the people back home. And now I'm in the pages of Rolling Stone again, but for a very different reason. North Carolina isn't being served the way it was even just 11 years ago. I'll always do my best to serve our state and the Second District. I hope you'll read the story, and I hope to earn your vote.

ldyjocelyn Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 NPR Radio StoryAudio and reporting....Just finished listening to it and reading the story.I then put myself into the shoes of someone who didn't even know he was running, and who might stumble upon this story on their radio or in their Facebook news feed.I think Clay comes off really well. There's a few fans that thinks this story is "lightweight," but we've also been following his campaign for 8 straight months. For those not "in the know," I believe he comes off as having some substance.JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrieeee Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I did the same thing and do think he came off well. Held his ground and was very serious about the campaign. Yes it was a bit on the light side but sometimes that works on NPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I really think almost every media piece on him is going to start off a bit lightweight. It's a good "breaking in" point. For some reason, entertainers getting into politics have to have that entry level like that.The Esquire piece is the only one that isn't truly lightweight, IMO. I do wish more people would read it, as it so shows his passion for what he's doing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrieeee Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Cool@Secordry2: @clayaiken heard "majority should rule" argument on @NPR. Next time, quote Jeffersons Inaugural Address. See pic. http://t.co/k3negPbVxP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
