He had a regular column in the Times-Dispatch. He is a movement conservative and generally votes right. He […]

We have been talking about the need for an Appellate Defender in Virginia and I am told by deep background that we could sure use a co-sponsor in the House of Delegates.

Once upon a time, when Reagan was ending a most successful Presidency, there was a political activist who had the itch for running for office. This activist did not realize how sexy local government is and wanted to run for House of Delegates or state Senate. Elwood Earl “Sandy” Sanders, Jr., was an attorney in […]

The Virginia House of Delegates managed to come up with a bipartisan redistricting plan that saw a number of Democrats vote for the bill in the Republican controlled House. The Democrat controlled State Senate, on the other hand, managed to devise a plan so one sided and protectionist that it did not have a single […]

Apparently, the state’s public colleges and universities had issued such policies without […]

Even after the child prostitution tapes were shown. He is trying to raise money, calls Delegate O’Bannon names for pointing out […]
