I want to thank (AGAIN!) Wes Messamore, the Humble Libertarian, (actually one of his bloggers, Judy Morris) for this story on an odious law here in the Commonwealth: The Certificate of Public Need act. I would not characterize the act as “racketeering” but it certainly is state-endorsed turf wars among doctors and hospitals. It needs [...]

The following is a message from Virginia State Senator Obenshain on the Voter ID Bill.

I was not able to start our own version of Camp Constitution here in VA YET! But the globalists dare gloat at their peril: the original Camp Constitution is still in business and taking in young people for a week of turth about our history and institutions!

Virginian’s only have two choices in tomorrow’s primary. And that is an absolute shame. The “establishment” Democrats and Republicans have stacked the deck to give the best possible chance to the “anointed” candidate of either party and make the bar nearly impossible for anyone else. If Virginia Republicans had their way, Mitt Romney would be [...]

Dear Virginians: It is a shame when after years of pro-life steadfastness, Governor McDonnell’s commitment gets severely blurred by the sweet wine of Vice Presidential ambition. Intoxicating and crippling, his drunken desire to play fiddle with Massachusetts Moderation dulls his senses and infuriates his supporters. Thank goodness for sober Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli who fearlessly [...]

Two Republican Senators killed a bill today that would have allowed Virginia to dismiss bad teachers who are harming our kids.
