Today is Memorial Day. A day when we should pause and reflect upon the sacrifices made and hardships endured by countless men and women so that we can enjoy the many freedoms that we have. These days, however, many citizens view today as part of a three-day weekend and time off from work. It is [...]

For some reason that I don’t truly understand, I’ve been receiving emails from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee or DCCC. Like most Republican emails, they implore the reader for money and are written by a variety of Democratic leaders: Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, or Chris Van Hollen. Regardless of the author, none are quite the [...]

At the 6th district meeting this weekend, delegates selected long-time political activist Trixie Averill of Roanoke as our new Republican Chairwoman. As stated earlier, having worked with/for Trixie in the 2006 election cycle, I can personally attest to her commitment and dedication to our cause. I want to congratulate Mrs. Averill for her victory and [...]
Matthew Berry for Congress
Posted in Political Musings, tagged 8th district, Matthew Berry on May 22, 2010 | 18 Comments »
Throughout the history of this blog, I have always stressed that in order to reclaim our country we need to elect limited government conservatives. Earlier today, I had the opportunity to speak with Matthew Berry, a Republican candidate for the House of Representatives in the 8th district. Over the last week or so, he has [...]
Marshall Endorses Goad
Posted in Political Musings, Valley Politics, tagged 6th District Chairman, Bob Marshall, Danny Goad, Trixie Averill on May 19, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Early in my inbox this morning (and I do mean early), I received an email from our conservative friends in Botetourt County. In it, Delegate Marshall (R-13) offers his opinion about the race for the 6th District Chairman. To follow are his comments: Can you take four to five minutes from your busy day to [...]

Tonight was an important night for the restoration of liberty in our nation. Both the primary success of Rand Paul in Kentucky and the defeat of Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania signal that voters are looking to change D.C. Let me first start with Specter. Although he was competing in the Democratic primary, I believe Specter’s [...]

A Tribute to Matt Lohr
Posted in Political Musings, The General Assembly, Valley Politics, Virginia Politics, tagged 26th District, House of Delegates, Matt Lohr on May 11, 2010 | 2 Comments »
A little over a week ago, my Delegate, Matt Lohr (26-R) resigned his seat in order to become the Commissioner for the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Although he has been my Delegate for the last five years, I didn’t know a whole lot about him. Maybe you felt the same. Like myself, [...]

Sorry for little pause in updates. My personal circumstances are changing including a potential move, though I should still be in the 26th district. But on to the topic at hand… Limited government conservative and establishment Republicans have long butted heads and 2010 is no exception. For starters, you can look south to Florida for [...]
