FYI, Republican candidate for NC governor Fred Smith is currently holding a series of rallies this month to give voters an opportunity to get to know who he is and where he stands on the issues. Appearing at these rallies will be country music singer and Fred Smith supporter Lee Greenwood, who will sing several of his hits, including his signature song “God Bless the USA.”
I’ve been to a Fred Smith rally before as part of his 100 county statewide BBQ tour, and had a great time – and Lee Greenwood wasn’t even there, so I know it’ll be even more of a good time with him included.
Here’s a list of the upcoming rallies – links to info about each rally, including the time and the place, are here.
