PFAW Member — The Charlotte Observer JUST endorsed Democrat Dan
McCready in the NC-9 special election with an important editorial that

[ [link removed]- ]Headline: NC special election sets stage for 2020

[T]he 9th District election carries some real consequence, because in many
ways, it is about neither of the Dans. It’s about Donald Trump, just as most
races for Congress will be in the coming year. We are at a critical moment
in this country with an erratic president who threatens both political and
structural norms, including calling the Federal Reserve chief an “enemy”
Friday. This 9th District election might be about one small corner of the
U.S. House, but it is the first of many races in which we’ll be making a
choice about our country’s path the next four years and beyond.

Quite simply, a vote for [Republican] Dan Bishop is a vote for Donald Trump.
Bishop has embraced the Trump presidency. He vows to help the president
build his wall at the southern border. He is far less likely than McCready
to provide a check on the president — and far more likely to mirror his
fellow Republicans’ silence at Trump’s reckless words and policies.

But perhaps as importantly, Bishop also has embraced Donald Trump’s style.
In campaign ads, Bishop has called Democrats “clowns” and “crazy,” and he
doesn’t object when his party’s campaign arm attacks his opponent with the
childish label of “McGreedy.” This is not new for Bishop. He’s attacked
LGBTQ advocates in the past, and he demeaned transgender people when he
sneered that Charlotte’s non-discrimination ordinance was about “a
cross-dresser’s liberty.”

Regardless of party or policy, such discourse should be beneath us, and such
demonization threatens to irreparably divide us. But the president has
normalized the kind of behavior our leaders once shunned. This election
offers us another opportunity to declare that’s not who we want to be.

Despite a baked-in Republican advantage due to gerrymandering, Democrat
Dan McCready is running in a DEAD HEAT with Trump Republican Dan Bishop.

Bishop is the right-wing extremist state senator who authored North
Carolina's infamous discriminatory bathroom ban targeting transgendered
people.

Now, we're going all in turn out the progressive vote and kickstart the
2020 blue wave NOW.

[ [link removed]- ]Headline: NC special election sets stage for 2020

Democrat Dan McCready, a solar power entrepreneur who is not accepting
corporate PAC money, came within just 905 votes of winning this seat in
2018 in an election where the results were thrown out because the
Republican candidate got caught cheating!

Now, we have an incredible chance to FLIP this longtime Republican seat
and send an undeniable message to Trump and the GOP that they can't
continue to get away with their extremism and bigotry.

But national Republicans, the NRA, and other right-wing interests are
spending big to smear Democrat Dan McCready and elect Bishop to help carry
out Trump's agenda. So it's going to take the grassroots support of
progressives like you from all around the country to help us get out the
vote in this flippable district.

YOUR help is needed!
