Final Opportunity to view Televised Campaign Message #3
Monday, NOVEMBER 3, 2008, approximately 6:15pm, tune in to Candidate Choice on cable channel 24 to view televised message #3 from Jan MacKay, filmed at the Time Warner Cable Studio in Durham. This “Night Before the NC General Elections” message from Jan will be the last chance to view this particular message on television, and there are no downloadable copies available on the internet.

NC Senate Campaign Message #1 - filmed in Raleigh in the NBC 17 studios. This message has been rebroadcast on NBC (cable channel 6 for Raleigh viewers with cable). See script below.

Comment: Yikes! What a moment! Good thing this is not a beauty contest! They spelled my name wrong. It is MacKay! However, since I campaigned on a shoestring budget, it is absolutely terrific that NBC 17 supported the election process.

NC Senate Campaign Message #2 - filmed in Wake Forest during a Candidate Forum held by the Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce. Has been rebroadcast several times on Wake Forest public access channel #10.
Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce - Candidates Forum -
In this forum, which is occasionally rebroadcast on local cable access channel 10, Jan MacKay talks about what motivated her to run for NC Senate, her background as an activist for individual liberty, makes it clear she favors property owner rights by opposing forced annexation, believes her manufacturing expertise would be beneficial to the state legislature, and that there is a safety culture in the Raleigh legislature which often acts contrary to the rights of individuals to live free, with high-quality, energetic lives.

Other televised interviews featuring candidate for NC Senate Jan MacKay:
November 3, 2008, at approximately 6:15pm, please watch Jan MacKay on Citizens Choice on cable channel 24, as she says we have plenty of lawyers, real estate developers and bankers in the NC Legislature, and no manufacturing experts, and not many IT professionals. Jan MacKay is a manufacturing expert and IT professional who opposes corporate incentive packages, yet we know there will be proposals for more corporate giveaways of your tax dollars in the next two years. Jan makes the point that it would be beneficial to have a manufacturing expert in the state legislature to evaluate such industrial proposals and find the flaws in them. Large corporations have been moving in, taking millions of dollars in corporate incentives, and moving out!

September 18, 2008 NC Senate Candidate MacKay taped this two minute audio/video message at NBC 17, Raleigh.

Hi! I'm “Jan” MacKay, candidate for state senate, a 12^th generation American and military veteran. I served 4 years on active duty. In 1973, I helped correct dental problems of Navy pilots, who, like James Stockdale and John McCain, were prisoners of war. I learned the cost of freedom from them, and from my father who was on the minesweeper that led the American fleet into Tokyo. Mostly, I learned the cost of freedom from families of those who did not return, and from the Kennedy's and Martin Luther King.

As a civilian, I work for rights, liberty, and the most precious gift from our ancestors: freedom. I'm here to ask to serve as your senator, representing Raleigh, Wake Forest, and areas around Falls Lake which should not be annexed against the will of property owners. It is not in my nature or my heritage to tolerate corruption or sit idly by while the state takes away rights. I come into this election as a leader and activist rather than as a politician.

I have experience which could help in drought conditions, as a water district commissioner. I was elected, appointed to the chair, and we accomplished our goals. My professional career expertise is manufacturing, and computer systems. I own businesses which rely on a strong tourism industry. Like you, tourism suffers from higher prices at the pumps, and congested highways. America needs better energy alternatives. I want North Carolina to lead the way. I refuse PAC money so to fight status quo I must count on you all to please spread the word. Vote for Jan MacKay. Thank you NBC 17.
