The following press release was sent out today alerting the media to events we will be having tomorrow, during Barack Obama’s visit to Asheville. Please attend any and all of the day’s activities if you can!
Two things you should be aware of as participants in this event:
1 – If you have McCain/Palin yard signs, please bring them with you to use at the event. You WILL be taking them home with you again! They are in such high demand that we do not have enough for the event.
2 – We will be meeting at 11am at Victory 08 Headquarters, located at 16 Regent Park Blvd, Asheville, to prepare and organize before the event. Parking will be very difficult at Asheville High! So it is in everyone’s best interest to meet at Victory 08 HQ in order to carpool.
Thank you for everything you do for our country and our community!
For Immediate Release
October 4, 2008GOP To Celebrate McCain/Palin During Obama Visit
This Sunday, while Barack Obama holds a rally in Asheville, local Republican Party activists will gather at the Asheville High School beginning at noon, to show their support for Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin as well as Republican candidates at the local, state, and federal levels. The group will then reconvene at the City-County Plaza for a 3:30 press conference, where candidates and local business owners will talk about why it is essential for Republicans to be elected at all levels of government in order to get our economy and our country back on track.
“Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin understand what our country needs to remain economically strong. Our state and county candidates, many of them local business owners themselves, appreciate what working people, seniors, and business owners of North Carolina need to remain economically strong during these difficult times,” says Chairman Timothy Johnson of the Buncombe County Republican Party. “Democrats have been in control of our state and county governments for far too long, wasting our tax dollars and avoiding accountability, while Washington has become entirely beholden to special interest groups, such as ACORN. We need mavericks like John McCain, Sarah Palin, and Carl Mumpower in Washington to represent the average person again.”
The schedule of events for Sunday will be as follows:
12:00-2:30 PM – McCain/Palin Celebration at Asheville High School stadium (McDowell St. side)
3:00 PM – Continuation of Celebration at City-County Plaza
3:30 PM – Press Conference highlighting the differences between Republican and Democrat economic plans and how they would effect North Carolinians. Local candidates and business owners will be participating.Confirmed to attend are County Commissioner candidates Mike Fryar, Ron McKee, and Don Yelton, NC Senate candidate RL Clark, and NC House candidate Paul Purdue.
