FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 2, 2010

Wilmington, NC: Ilario Pantano, Republican Nominee for North Carolina’s Seventh Congressional District, announced today that he has received the endorsement of national Conservative leader and radio talk show host, Herman Cain. Pantano is one of only three candidates to be endorsed by Cain’s PAC.

“I am honored and humbled to have the support of Herman and his PAC,” Pantano said. “Herman his lived the American Dream. He’s the son of working class parents who worked his way to the top becoming CEO of Godfather’s Pizza and now he is one of the leaders of the conservative movement in America. Herman is committed to supporting real conservatives who will fight for our conservative values and not back down when they get to Congress. I am proud to have him on my team.”

Ilario Pantano takes a stand against the liberal agenda, and the "Axis of Evil": Taxation, Regulation, Litigation. Pantano targets the three killers of jobs and small business which permeate the healthcare bill and exemplify the loss of freedoms that the Pelosi-puppets enable.

The place: North Carolina's 7th Congressional District convention in Wilmington, North Carolina.

The time to join our fight: NOW.
