That’s pretty much what the N&R’s Jeri Rowe says in his letter to Sen. Kay Hagan:

We can pull it together, you tell worried people who ask about our future.

You see that American moxie in downtown Greensboro. Rob Lamothe left the jet-setting corporate world, his wife, Tracy, left the world of accounting, and together, they are pursuing their dream: owning and operating a restaurant.

They opened their restaurant in May on North Greene, and they call it Riva’s, after their daughter and Tracy’s great-great-grandfather, Giovanni Riva.

Business is good. But like any small business, they need that economic stimulus package Barack Obama is talking about.

Rowe expresses confidence in Hagan, considering the fact that she’s “one of us.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Jesse Helms catch hell for using that slogan during a Senate campaign?
