Ilario Pantano
Candidate for U.S. Congress
North Carolina District 7 (NC-7)

Dear Ilario:

Today, I am pleased and proud to announce my early endorsement of your
candidacy for United States Congress in North Carolina District 7 (NC-7).
Having had the opportunity to meet you on several occasions and hearing you
speak on critically important issues facing our nation, I have no doubt that
you understand the national security and domestic issues facing our great
Nation.

I trust that you will bring the necessary leadership to Congress that we
vitally need.  Congress is in dire need of principled public servants and
strong leaders who will put loyalty to the Constitution and the principles
that guarantee our freedom ahead of party affiliation, money and special
interests. I believe you will keep that oath as a Congressman.

I commend you for your service to this country as a Marine and commitment to
our Armed Forces and veterans.  Private citizens and Veterans such as
yourself who go the extra mile of service understand that we have an solemn
obligation to ensure the successful future of our Nation.

We wish you Godspeed in your campaign.  I will be encouraging others to
support your candidacy in the forthcoming special election.  You may
communicate my endorsement to the voters of the North Carolina District
7 (NC-7)as you see fit.

Respectfully,

Paul E. Vallely
