MEDIA ADVISORY: Not-a-Dime's-Worth-a-Difference Tour Heads to Wilmington
Leaders discuss at 11 a.m. TOMORROW how John McCain's failed economic policies are wrong for Eastern North Carolina

WILMINGTON, NC – As John McCain arrives in Wilmington tomorrow to peddle his failed economic policies, State Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand and Agriculture Commission Candidate Ronnie Ansley will hold a press conference to let voters know that McCain’s policies are wrong for Eastern North Carolina.

Senator Barack Obama will stand up for North Carolina’s workers by offering incentives to companies who keep jobs in the United States and investing in green innovation to create more jobs.

Eastern North Carolinians are already feeling the effects of four more years of the same Bush-McCain economy:

Georgia-Pacific slashed 400 jobs in its Whiteville plant earlier this month due to the slumping housing market. Another 270 jobs were cut last week when U.S. Marine announced it was closing its Navassa boatyard.

Eastern North Carolinians have a better chance at throwing their money in a wishing well than hoping that John McCain will fix our economy. Senator Obama will bring the change North Carolina’s families need by supporting job creation, keeping our jobs at home, and strengthening our economy.
