North Carolina is a Senate battleground this year and we have a pretty good shot at winning. Dole has shown a pretty dismal record if you look carefully, as this person does.

Kay Hagan has recently been running consistently ahead of Dole, even if it just by a few points. I think we can win this one!

Kay Hagan is being endorsed from ALL around the state: (in fact she has ALL the main newspaper endorsements)

Charlotte Observer: Hagan better choice for U.S. Senate seat

Asheville Citizen-Times Editorial Endorsement: Hagan will give N.C. a better voice in the Senate

North Carolina Association of Educators Endorses Kay Hagen

Greensboro News and Record Editorial: Hagan’s track record recommends election

When Bush lied about Iraq's WMD program so we could invade, one man called foul: Ambassador Joe Wilson who KNEW Bush was lying and said so. For his loyalty to the truth, his wife, a CIA agent, was punished by having her identity leaked to the media.

Larry Kissell, who probably won the NC-8 Congressional race but was cheated of his victory by Republican fraud, has invited Ambassador Joe Wilson to come to Charlotte, NC to speak in September. Here are the details from Larry Kissell:

Being willing to stand up and tell the truth, regardless of the consequences, is heroic. Unfortunately, we don't see too many heros in politics these days. I'm proud to tell you that Ambassador Joe Wilson, someone who has truly stood up to defend our Constitution as well as his family, is coming to campaign for us in Charlotte.

Please help me in welcoming Ambassador Wilson to Charlotte, NC September 22 for a fundraising reception. Ambassador Wilson is the author of the July 2003 New York Times Op-Ed piece "What I Didn't Find in Africa" and the memoir "The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity: A Diplomat's Memoir."

See on-line for details and advanced tickets.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Congressman John Spratt and I are hosting the evening.
