Reposed with additions.
Last night, at the North Carolina Democratic Party's Vance-Aycock Dinner in Asheville, I heard Elaine Marshall tell the simple truth. During Richard Burr's 16 years in Congress, he was "spending money like a drunk on payday."
As you know, Richard Burr voted to add over $4 Trillion to the US debt. That's ridiculous, given the fact that Burr is running on restoring fiscal responsibility. At the dinner, the Marshall Campaign pointed out Burr's "fuzzy math" with "Bank Run Bank Cards" that are going out all over North Carolina!
Help Elaine fight Republican idiocy. MARSHALLBOMB for Elaine Marshall is underway to help Elaine keep fighting. She deserves your help, because we have to beat Burr - and I'm going to keep fighting for Elaine until we reach our goal.
News on Elaine's TV ads below the fold ...
More from the dinner:
N.C. Secretary of State and U.S. Senate hopeful Elaine Marshall acknowledged that GOP leaders are already celebrating victory. "They are saying it's over, and they are just that wrong," Marshall said. "We must make it happen; we will make this happen," she said of keeping political power on the Democrats' side.
I don't have video of the Marshall Ad that went up today, but it's hard hitting and the teaser ad below works in much the same way.
Elaine is taking the fight to the Republicans that put us in this mess. She needs your help to keep it up. Like Elaine said at another visit in Asheville yesterday:
"Richard Burr, after 16 years, has forgotten who he was sent to represent, if he ever knew,"
And, as you may know, Jesse Helms was Burr's mentor:
