Renee Ellmers for Congress

Dear Supporter,

Thanks to all your hard work, we have the momentum going into Election Day tomorrow!

Last week Civitas released a poll showing Renee leading Bob Etheridge by 5 points. The following day the NRA endorsed Renee’s candidacy.

Over the weekend enthusiastic supporters attended rallies for Renee in Franklin and Nash Counties. Today we continue that momentum with rallies in Chatham County – in Pittsboro and Siler City, and in Lee County – in Sanford, NC. And Bob Etheridge’s campaign is reacting with desperate last ditch email attacks on Renee.

The next few hours are crucial to keep that momentum going to achieve victory. There is still much work to do.

We need you to vote tomorrow if you have not already voted. If you need information about where to vote check our Voter Info Center for a link to locate your county board of elections.

After you have voted, please call all your friends who support Renee and make sure they have voted as well.

Then we need you to make phone calls to help get out the vote. Call us at 910-292-4140 if you are able to volunteer.

Please be alert when you vote – especially if you vote on touch screen machines. There have been reports from all over the state about problems with some of the machines. Be sure your choice is highlighted before you complete your vote. If you have any trouble voting immediately alert a poll worker and call 910-292-4140.

After the polls close at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow please join us for a Victory Party at the Shrine Center, 211 North Clinton Avenue, Dunn, NC.

Thanks so much for all you have done and continue to do! We have an opportunity to change the direction our country is headed. Please do everything possible in these final hours to push us over the finish line.

“The NRA-PVF (www.NRAPVF.org) has endorsed Renee Ellmers for Congress. It is critical that you vote for Renee Ellmers for Congress, and urge your family and friends to do the same. We need to bolster our ranks in Congress to keep this White House from pursuing an anti-gun agenda after the 2010 elections. That’s why it’s [...]

Dunn, NC─ Today a new Civitas Institute poll showed Renee Ellmers, Republican candidate for Congress in North Carolina’s Second District, leading longtime incumbent Rep. Bob Etheridge by 5 points, 46 percent to 41 percent. The survey of 400 registered voters was taken October 21-24 by SurveyUSA.

Ms. Ellmers’ opposition to new taxes and President Obama’s healthcare bill, along with high-profile endorsements from former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and leading conservative groups, have given her an advantage over Etheridge in what has become “the political fight of his life,” according to Civitas.

“Despite Congressman Etheridge receiving millions of dollars in contributions from union groups and Washington special interests, the people of North Carolina’s Second District are looking for a citizen representative, not a career politician,” said Ms. Ellmers in a statement. “We will never again have an opportunity like this to unseat 14-year incumbent Bob Etheridge.”

The poll also shows Ellmers lead growing among voters who plan to vote this year to 49 percent-40 percent. Ellmers has peeled off 20 percent of Etheridge’s Democratic base.
