Surprises on the Votes To De-fund ACORN

The R's voted yes across the board.

Kudos to Democrats Boucher, Nye, and Perriello for doing the right thing.

Shame on Connolly for not voting. Typical dhimmicrat. Time for him to go.

The two NO votes came from Virginia's very own expert on domestic violence, Jim Moron, and Bobby Scott from the 3rd District. Our rural constituents have been badly served by Scott, and his days are now numbered.

Anyone who can face the public they serve after voting to continue funding for an organization that should be prosecuted under the RICO statutes, needs a dose of reality.

We will do that at the ballot box in 2010.

Putting A Lock-Out Tag on the Political Machine

Campaign season is officially open. Local politics will be the focus for the next 3 months and then we move into the 2010 campaign cycle. We had some great candidates in 2006 and 2008, but the political machines at the local levels prevented some of them from getting on the ballot and others were outspent.

We can’t let that happen in 2010. It’s time to take over the process and show the machine we know where the shutdown switch is.

This is where grassroots conservatives need to exert the most influence. We need good solid conservatives.

Qualifications for Candidates

This blog will give first consideration to any veteran who wishes to declare his or her intention to seek an elected office, especially here in the Commonwealth. The leadership skills and the oath to defend the Constitution are the qualifications needed to insure our Nation remains the reality the Founders envisioned.

Iraq Vets for Congress has great resources.

We need a good candidate for VA-03. It’s time for Mr Scott to retire. The good folks in southeast Virginia deserve someone who is more in tune with the grassroots and is familiar with the Navy and veteran’s issues. Someone with experience in the VA and DoD.
