During the past few weeks my campaign has picked up several big endorsements from groups like the National Rifle Association, National Right to Life and National Federation of Independent Business. These endorsements are important to me because I know these are the types of organizations that you want supporting your member of Congress.

As our economy struggles under the weight of a financial crisis I believe that it is our small businesses that will prove to be the catalyst for future economic growth. That is why I have worked so hard to promote policies that help small businesses thrive and support our communities. It is also why I was so pleased to receive the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business, a group that represents small businesses around the country.

The NRA, the nation’s preeminent supporter of your Second Amendment rights, gave me their endorsement for my strong voting record in support of your constitutional right to keep and bear arms. In their endorsement the NRA said my record demonstrates “a proven commitment to the of Second Amendment rights of North Carolina’s gun owners, hunters and shooters.”

The Pro-Life group National Right to Life also endorsed my candidacy saying, “Virginia Foxx’s strong pro-life record has earned her the support of all voters who are concerned with the right to life and the protection of the most vulnerable members of the human family.”

But as Election Day approaches I am asking for the only endorsement that matters on November 4—your vote. With your vote on Election Day I will continue to work to get our economy growing again, to keep our nation strong and secure and to make sure your taxes are low by putting the government on a much needed diet.
