Virginia Senator Jim Webb takes on Prison Reform

In spite of having the demeanor sometimes of a bull in the proverbial china shop, U.S. Sen. Jim Webb also has the reputation of a legislator who’s unafraid to take on Herculean tasks.

In the last session of Congress, the freshman U.S. senator looked at the huge number of armed services veterans returning from duty in Iraq and Afghanistan and realized the decades-old GI Bill was in need of serious updating.

Himself a Vietnam vet (in addition to being a former secretary of the Navy), he took on the job of crafting a new GI Bill and shepherding it through the Byzantine legislative process to ultimate passage.

That would have been a career-capper for any legislator; for a freshman, it was a success almost unheard of.

When you turn on your lights...

At the heart of America's hope for a "clean coal" future lies the decimation of West Virginia's richest landscapes. More profound still is the heavy toll on human lives playing out just beneath the surface. Armed with the power of their convictions, four individuals emerge as heroes from the scattered voices of their valley, forcing America to look into the eyes of those being sacrificed on Coal River.

It's ISAT!

Mike Signer Team: We won VAYD Lt Gov Debate!

Rockingham County's own UVa senior Sterling Elmore, was favorably impressed by Mike Signer's performance a the LG debate at the VAYD convo in C'ville this morning.

More positive comments by Young Dems here

You have to give this campaign team credit, they know how to use Web 2.0 technology! Reminds me of aggressive use of social networking and new media in the Obama campaign. We all know how that played out.

This should give some Big Mo to Mike's campaign. He has some strong support in NoVa, but he will have to take his campaign to all areas of the state to build some margin over the other strong candidates in the LG race. We'll have to wait and see how much buzz the Young Dems take back to their home districts.

So a very fair question to ask the candidates who pursue your support, your money for their campaign, and ultimately you vote, would be:

What are you going to do about this situation?

We,

You and I,

Demanded and expected these valiant young people to go to war...

Be a true Patriot.

Support our Troops with something other than a yellow ribbon on your car.

Support them with YOUR COMMITMENT that they and their families will not be forgotten.

And will not be pushed aside as inconvenient and costly...

The New Yorker Cover Art By: Barry Blitt - "Octo-Rush"

Del. Todd Gilbert (R-Woodstock) - Crybaby

Todd Gilbert was down at the VDOT Hearing in Verona last weekend, wailing and kicking his feet because his plan to starve VDOT of transportation funding had finally succeeded and it had come back to bite his constituents.

In an effort to make ends meet with a $3.7 Billion dollar shortfall VDOT has been forced to reduce maintenance on rural roads (Class 4 and 5). Gilbert attacked VDOT Commissioner David Ekern for failing to meet the requirements of the 1932 Byrd Road Act - an obscure law that requires the state to relieve localities for the cost of road maintenance. It would all be funny if it were not for the simple fact that Delegate Todd Gilbert is a member of the General Assembly and has steadfastly refused to support legislation to properly fund highway costs.

Gilbert pointed out the untold damage that could be possible to local economies in these rural areas. There 90 percent of their roads are in the Class 4 and 5, the two classes which will see significant reductions in maintenance.

Well isn't that special? You are a day late and a dollar short with the outrage Todd. Your finger may be pointing at VDOT, but but the rest of your digits are pointing back at you.

Basically, the department just decided on their own that they're going to seriously cut back on maintenance and snow removal for as much as 90 percent of the roads in my district.

No Todd, VDOT has a very precise budgeting mandate and you decided not to support it with adequate funding.

How to Destroy the Government in Three Easy Steps

How to Destroy the Government in Three Easy Steps
Thursday 19 March 2009
by: Joe Brewer - Truthout

In eight short years, conservatives have effectively bankrupted many state governments and left the fed in shambles. And now citizens have to "make tough decisions" and share the suffering equally across the land (unless of course, you're part of that lucky 1 percent who co-opted the functions of government to serve their own ends ... they'll be cozy with their offshore bank accounts, golden parachutes and permanent tax holidays).

Are you a teacher who educates our future citizens? Too bad. You've got to tighten your belt and let that job go. Manual laborer? Sorry, but that job can earn more money for our shareholders if it's done in Micronesia. Need a college degree? Prepare for indentured servitude because you'll be working to pay us off for most of your adult life.
Health care? Ha! That's just a Ponzi scheme dreamed up by a bunch of socialists.

Ever wonder how conservatives did all this?

Well, here's your very own how-to manual for getting Big Government out of the way so you and your buddies can horde all the wealth to yourselves and build your empire.

"What other wasteful spending lies just beneath the surface?"

Senator Mark Obenshain, 26th District

"...I'm sure that's only the tip of the iceberg."

Delegate Matt Lohr, 26th District

Year after year, with the notable exception of Senator Emmett Hanger and retired Senator Kevin Miller, Representatives of the Shenandoah Valley in the Virginia General Assembly have steadfastly refused to consider any stable and dependable and DEDICATED revenue source for Virginia's Transportation Infrastructure.

Now, the looming crisis in Transportation Funding about which many of us have been warning for most of this decade has come to pass...

And, rather than admit that they have not represented the best interests of the Shenandoah Valley, they attack: Youtube videos of all things...

This goes beyond irresponsible and lackluster performance on their part to secure necessary transportation funding for projects like road improvement around our wonderful new state of the art Hospital, to a dishonest and reprehensible effort to deflect attention away from their poor representation and lack of foresight while at the same time cynically maneuvering to turn a budget tragedy for Virginia into political gain for themselves...

I'm looking forward to this debate with our esteemed Valley legislators. I warmly welcome all of our Representatives in the Virginia General Assembly to engage their constituents in this discussion, and find a way to justify their position before the public not with the usual empty rhetoric, but with facts, figures, and data...

VA GOP in Disarray

The Virginia Republican Party seems to be coming apart...

Years of Obstructionist Policy is Taking Its Toll
Chickens Coming Home to Roost...

GOP Chairman Jeff Frederick,
Recently a Rising Star, Under Fire to Resign

from Republican House Candidate for the 33rd District of Virginia, Patricia Phillips:

Fact: The controversy about Del. Jeff Frederick’s tenure as RPV Chairman is hurting the Party and our statewide candidates’ chances in this fall’s election. The longer this goes on, the greater the damage to our Party and thus, the greater the injury to Virginians statewide.

Allegations: Apparently those seeking Chairman Frederick’s resignation, and some of our more loquacious bloggers, allege that:
1) that there are numerous instances where Chairman Frederick has acted improperly, bordering on being unethical;
2) that Chairman Frederick has been ineffective;
3) that Chairman Frederick is somehow responsible for the losses Virginians suffered in last year’s presidential, senatorial, and congressional races;
4) that Chairman Frederick has embarrassed the RPV; and 5) finally, that Chairman Frederick’s election at last year’s convention was somehow tainted.

These allegations are considered so grave that supposedly more than ¾ of the State Central Committee have signed a letter (that remains hidden from the rank and file of our Party) pledging to vote for Frederick’s ouster in April should he refuse to resign.

Resolution: All of the allegations against Chairman Frederick should be aired in public. Now. The matter is in the press; any further attempt to maintain secrecy in this matter “for the good of the Party” is pointless. Further, the refusal of those seeking Frederick’s removal to allow the rank and file to judge the allegations for themselves raises very serious questions about the validity of the allegations. If we allow a select few to overturn a legitimate election, for their own purposes and absent proof of illegal or unethical behavior on Frederick’s part, we set a dangerous long-term precedent for both our Party and our state.

Safe Food...

"Buy Local" Makes More Sense Every Day

Obama warns of US food 'hazard'

President Barack Obama has said the US food safety system is a "public health hazard" and in need of an overhaul.

He sounded the warning during his weekly radio and video address, as he appointed a new head of the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

New York Health Commissioner Margaret Hamburg has been named for the post.

The appointment of 53-year-old Dr Hamburg, a bioterrorism expert who was an assistant health secretary under President Bill Clinton, must be approved by the Senate.

Read the story




Hazards in food cause an estimated 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year, most of which are never reported to public health officials. These illnesses cost American taxpayers approximately $6.9 billion annually in medical costs, hospitalizations, and lost work time according to the Economic Research Service (USDA). Despite advances in food production and processing, foodborne illnesses from hazards such as Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, and Listeria, continue to be a significant public health problem. At greatest risk are older Americans, children, pregnant women and their unborn children, and those with compromised immune systems. Bioterrorism also poses a threat to the nation’s food supply.

Noel Enters Race for the 25th HoD

Jim Noel, from Mt. Sidney, has formally announced his entry into the race for Virginia's 25th House of Delegate seat, currently held by Republican Steve Landes. He will seek his party's nomination in the upcoming June 9th Democratic Primary. He will be competing with Greg Marrow from Rockingham County.

Noel, 42, is a Facility Planner with Perdue Farms in Bridgewater. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio he moved to the Valley in 1993. His wife, Rachel, is native to the area. The Noel's have three children. He has been active in youth sports programs, serving as a soccer coach and softball league officer.

"I am originally from Ohio and my wife was born and raised in Mount Sidney. When we decided to settle down and raise a family there was only one choice, here in Virginia. I have been here now for over 16 years and have seen a lot of changes over this time. Businesses closing, hundreds of people out of work, subdivisions going up. Most importantly where we are not being represented in this area. That is why I decided to run. I am only one person. I will not say my ideas for this district are any more important than yours, but I will say – I will listen to anyone that would like to be heard and discuss openly and honestly your ideas and/or concerns involving ‘our’ community."

The main areas of focus for his campaign will be: Schools, Responsible Government and Transportation Infrastructure.

Schools
"We must strengthen our schools, community colleges, and universities. At the local level, we need to develop more specialized schools like Valley Vo-Tech and Massanutten. Our children that choose not to attend college need localized access to training for jobs that are in demand, and in new technologies. This will give Virginia an advantage in bringing in new businesses."

Responsible Government
"We need government to be effective, not bureaucratic. We need straightforward, honest problem solving, not partisan politics. As voters, we must hold all accountable for the results of their policies."

Highways, Bridges and Roads
"The widening of our current roads, or the building of new ones, will not ease the burden we have now with the overcrowding of our current transportation system and the condition of many of our State’s bridges. We desperately need legislation to create a lock-box system, where it is mandatory that monies collected from fuel taxes be used on our State’s highways."

Creigh Deeds - Why He's Running...

poor sound quality - but great unedited, unfiltered, first person reporting

Creigh Deeds at an "on-the-record" Blue blogger meet-up and interview session last night.

video from Blue Virginia, first-hand report from Blue Commonwealth

As the primary is moving into the final ninety days, I have been troubled by the failure of any of the campaigns to really articulate an overarching vision – as distinct from a specific policy position on this issue or that -- for Virginia’s future – that one thing that sets the candidate apart and that will profoundly improve the lives of everyone in the Commonwealth. This was true even for the candidate I support, Creigh Deeds.

Tonight changed that. Tonight I heard Creigh Deeds describe a vision of what his term as Governor would mean for Virginians, how he would achieve it, and why he is the person to accomplish it. Creigh spoke with genuine conviction about his desire to transform Virginia politics to take control of our government away from the entrenched political and moneyed interests that currently command it and return to its rightful place, we the people. aznew - Blue Commonwealth

"You Are A Coward"... Limpbaugh

Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) Calls out the bulbous one. Seems Rush has a yellow streak.

Rushing to Failure

Remarkably, voters view Limbaugh negatively by a two-to-one ratio (53 to 26 percent), with nearly half the country, 45 percent, viewing him very, very negatively. Among independents, the ratio rises to three-to-one. More important are the values that Limbaugh espouses. By a nearly two-to-one ratio (57 to 32 percent) a majority of voters—and independents—say Limbaugh does not "share their values," but Republicans are in a different world where, by two-to-one, they believe he shares them.

Well Said! - Real Conservative Lambasts GOP

Many good folks I've spoken with during the past year echo the sentiments so eloquently expressed by former Republican and Evangelist Frank Schaeffer in the following video:



Following is an excerpt from an open letter to the Republican Party:

In the mid 1980s I left the Religious Right, after I realized just how very anti-American they are, (the theme I explore in my book Crazy For God). They wanted America to fail in order to prove they were right about America's "moral decline."

Soon after McCain lost in 2000 I re-registered as an independent in disgust with W. Bush. But I still respected many Republicans. Not today.

How can anyone who loves our country support the Republicans now? Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley and Ronald Reagan defined the modern conservatism that used to be what the Republican Party I belonged to was about. Today no actual conservative can be a Republican. Reagan would despise today's wholly negative Republican Party.

And can you picture the gentlemanly and always polite Ronald Reagan, endorsing a radio hate-jock slob who crudely mocked a man with Parkinson's and who now says he wants an American president to fail?!

With people like Limbaugh as the loudmouth image of the Republican Party -- you need no enemies. But something far more serious has happened than an image problem: the Republican Party has become the party of obstruction at just the time when all Americans should be pulling together for the good of our country. Instead, Republicans are today's fifth column sabotaging American renewal.
