Here are some questions all voters should be asking all candidates for NC Senate and NC House:

Fact: The annual salary for NC state senator and NC state house is $20,659.

Given the low salary, which is barely a living wage, these questions must be considered;

Why do candidates spend tens of thousands of dollars to get a low-salary job?

Why trust someone who spent tens of thousands of dollars for a $20,659 job?

Why are candidates REALLY running for office?

Why do candidates REALLY want to be a Senator or House representative?

How do candidates REALLY intend to live well off of a measly $20,659 salary?

Who do candidates REALLY intend to serve?

Who do candidates REALLY intend to represent?

If Jan MacKay becomes your Senator as a result of the 2008 NC elections, Jan will accept information only from political action committees and special interests. That is where it ends.

“If a lobbyist shows me a check in order to try to buy my vote on an issue, I pledge to immediately show them the door!”

Jan MacKay is NOT in this for the money, and is willing to try and survive on the measly salary. Jan is in this because the North Carolinians need people in the NC Senate who will take a strong stand against politics as usual. Jan MacKay is a candidate for NC Senate because many things need to change in Raleigh. That includes corruption and influence peddling! Jan MacKay will represent the citizens of North Carolina rather than special interests.

Besides instant payola, bribery, and PAC money, there is also another self-serving, profit-motivated reason why some candidates run for office, and this is usually not obvious to the people. Some candidates have a large “deal” in the works and want to clear the way for the deal to go through. These deals could benefit anyone from lawyers to insurance companies, real estate developers, financiers, business owners, school administrators, and as we have seen recently; optometrists and even charity organizers! A legislator associated with a business that sells small motorcycles could make a fast-track profit by raising the requirement for scooters to be registered from 50cc to 150cc. Such legislation, if passed, would generate a huge amount of sales for 150cc scooters that can go over 60 mph, and all legislators who invested in the business could see a quick profit.
This type of self-serving profit motive legislation is “not so obvious” and is introduced routinely in Raleigh. Legislators with no scruples intend to get the state to give money to them in one way or another, or allow special dispensations to businesses they are associated with. Jan MacKay has no such deals or motives.

Jan MacKay will always look for the REAL motive behind new legislation.

SAY NO TO STATUS QUO!

It is going to require a lot of grassroots word of mouth effort, because Jan MacKay will NOT be interrupting your life with political advertisements.
Jan is NOT spending tens of thousands of dollars and owes no favors to special interests.

PLEASE ASK ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO
VOTE FOR JAN MACKAY FOR NC SENATE.
