I get a parade of material from the state GOP and the Cuccinelli campaign virtually every day detailing the suspected ethical lapses of the Democrat, Terry McAuliffe. EB-5 visa program, outlandish lies about Cuccinelli, alleged laundering of campaign contributions, etc. So I ask my Democrat readers (It may be presumptuous but the writers at the […]

Tonight is yet another election night in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Like eclipses, elections occur with regularity every year. This is the primary for the Democrats and while there is no primary for governor (It should be Chap Petersen but I can’t get everything I want…) there are two candidates for each – Lieutenant Governor: […]

I, like millions of others, get the email report of my Favorite Democrat, Senator Chap Petersen. And he did have several legislative successes (The appellate defender should have been included but this was not Chap’s fault!) this session: Dear Friends, Virginians and Citizens of Fairfax: Always worth quoting musical lyrics, circa 1980. This past session […]

I get a lot of emails from patriots and tea party leaders and maybe a few wannabes, too. But I was surprised when I got sent a talking point from a leading tea party patriot with this in it: Quote Democrat Chap Petersen who voted against the bill: “a grotesque combination of tax cuts, tax […]

Check out this blog entry from Senator Chap Petersen – Sandy’s favorite Democrat! Petersen voted NO on the transportation/Medicaid bill! Here’s his remarks: Ladies & Gentlemen of the Senate: I speak today as someone who grew up in the heart of Fairfax. As a little boy I looked out my window and watched the construction […]

I have written several times about the restoration of the Appellate Defender’s office in Virginia. The Indigent Defense Commission had to abolish the office due to budget cuts. Now you can do something about it! Email your senator if you are in his or her district (especially the Republicans!) or can if a Virginia voter, […]

I came across this proposed constitutional amendment that Sandy’s Favorite Democrat, State Senator Chap Petersen, introduced this session of the General Assembly: ARTICLE X TAXATION AND FINANCE Section 1. Taxable property; uniformity; classification and segregation. All property, except as hereinafter provided, shall be taxed. All taxes shall be levied and collected under general laws and […]

People might laugh at this idea, but there are at least three good solid reasons why the Tea Party (I am a member of my local Tea Party group – the Mechanicsville Tea Party!) should support the initiative that Senator Chap Petersen has introduced on the Appellate Defender’s (more details here!) office: 1. The Tea […]

As my readers know my Favorite Democrat was Rep. Heath Shuler of NC, the former Redskins and Saints QB, and conservative member of the House. I even nominated Rep. Shuler for President! But I began to sour on Shuler when he refused to vote to repeal Obamacare and he did not run for Governor of […]

I hinted that there was news on the Appellate Defender’s Office front. Now I can openly discuss it! Senator Chap Petersen of Fairfax has introduced a budget amendment (here it is!) to reestablish an Appellate Defender’s Office in this Commonwealth. It’s a tiny office at first, not even one quarter the size of the criminal […]
