Sheen Stumps for Real-Life Politician NewsMax Wires Monday, Sept. 27, 2004 KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Actor Martin Sheen did some real-life politicking for a congressional candidate who used to work on his television series "The West Wing."
Sheen, who portrays fictional president Josiah Bartlett on the series, attended private fund-raisers Saturday in Charlotte and Richmond County for 8th District congressional candidate Beth Troutman, who worked four years in Los Angeles as assistant to the executive producer of "The West Wing."
He finished the day at a party at the Raleigh home of former Ambassador Jeanette Hyde.
He made his only public appearance in Kannapolis, a Cabarrus County mill town that lost thousands of jobs last year when a Pillowtex plant shut down.
"I'm supporting Beth's campaign for Congress," Sheen said, standing across the street from the plant. "This is a clear indication of what is happening all over this country."
Troutman is trying to unseat Republican Rep. Robin Hayes, whose grandfather, Charles Cannon, once owned not only the textile mill but also the entire town of Kannapolis. The family sold its interest in the mill decades ago.
Sheen spent about 30 minutes talking with laid-off textile workers.
More like "The Left Wing." Martin Sheen stumping for Dems... Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
Martin Sheen stumping in NC is actually going to help this candidate?? Somehow I doubt it...

He's right.
All over the country, clueless liberal celebrities are supporting inept and unqualified socialists.
"I am President Bartlett! Kneel before me!"
Rep. Robin Hayes (R) of Concord suits us here in NC just fine.
The Left Wing does not come in on our Dish.
well that should spell doom for the Rat.
