Fwd: An Invitation and Small Request from Greg Garrett - You're Invited to an Event with Scott Rigell

Dear Friend,

 

We need to elect Republican Scott Rigell to Congress to send a message that "WE DON'T APPROVE OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN WASHINGTON" !!!

 

This is not a district-by-district issue anymore....We all have to reach out beyond our own Congressional District and support candidates like Scott who will go to Washington and begin to turn things around. If we can't elect Scott in Hampton Roads, then the Democrats will believe that they have a mandate to keep going in this current unsustainable, destructive direction.

 

Please come meet Scott & his wonderful wife, Teri.

 

But even if you cannot join us on Sunday, Sept 12th..... PLEASE send a donation.....Whether you send $5 or $2,500.........it will be your small part of turning our Nation around.

 

Thanks,

 

Greg Garrett

Fwd: Last Evenings Tuscany Forum

From: The Tuscany Forum <thetuscanyforum@cox.net>
Date: Jul 23, 2010 10:41 AM
Subject: Last Evenings Tuscany Forum

Thanks to all who attended last evenings Forum!!  Much discussion and many excellent initiatives and issues were voiced by the citizens of York County. The Forum Core Team will now be busy over the next several weeks prioritizing and developing the fall Forum agenda.  

Our guest, Delegate Brenda Pogge, presented a spirited and informative update on state and federal successes, but with many remaining challenges.  Delegate Pogge considers herself, a representative of the people, not a politician.  She further indicated her representation of the people is framed by her values as a Christian, a Conservative, and upon the U.S. Constitution.  Thanks Delegate Pogge!

A invitation was given by Mr. Wade McRoberts, the York County Republican Committee (YCRC) Chair, to any citizen who is not a member of the YCRC to join.  The next Committee meeting is Thursday, September 2nd, 7:00pm, at York Hall in historic Yorktown.  Mr. McRoberts can be contacted via email at "mcroberts.ycrc@verizon.net".

The August Forum date is not yet certain, as we are working with the schedule of our guest speaker, Representative Rob Wittman.  The date and agenda will be forwarded when these details are known.

Fwd: VA-ALERT: Victory in York County!



---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Philip Van Cleave <philip@virginiasystems.com>
Date: Jul 21, 2010 12:34 PM
Subject: VA-ALERT: Victory in York County!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
VCDL's meeting schedule:  http://www.vcdl.org/meetings.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Abbreviations used in VA-ALERT:  http://www.vcdl.org/help/abbr.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Last night the York County Board of Supervisors voted to repeal their discharge bans and let state law rule!

The only fly in the ointment was that they did decide to keep a ban on discharging rifles that are greater than .22 caliber.

The York County Sheriff, Danny Diggs, did a fantastic job in standing up for gun owners in front of the Board of Supervisors and deserves the lion's share of credit for this victory.

Around 30 gun owners showed up and around 4 antis.  Significantly, no one from a Home Owners Association was there.

The vote was broken into two parts:  repealing the ban on discharge of rifles that are greater than .22 caliber and repealing all other discharge bans, including discharging a gun in and around a subdivision (state law would prevail and there would be no issue if such discharge was done safely).

Here is my impression of the Board members in this matter:

Walter Zaremba - voted wrong both times and fell flat when he tried to use logic to lay down the groundwork for his anti-gun vote

Sheila Noll - knew she couldn't stop the .22 caliber rifle restriction from being lifted if it was voted on in conjunction with lifting the other restrictions, so she pushed for the TWO votes .  As gun owners talked, she bobbed her head up and down like she understood what they were saying, but at the end of the day she voted wrong on both items.  I am now thinking she was just working a kink out in her neck

Donald Wiggins (chairman) - voted correctly on both items.  Some of his comments originally made me uncomfortable as to how he was going to vote, but he came through in the end.  He also voted to NOT have a separate vote on the .22 caliber rifle limitation

George Hrichak - the quietest one on the Board, but the one who really understands freedom.  He pushed to not have a separate vote on the .22 caliber rifle limitation, too

Thomas Sheppard Jr - I thought he might support both repeals, but in the end voted wrong on the .22 caliber rifle limitation.  He pushed with Ms. Noll to have the two votes, instead of just one.

What was really frustrating is that NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN CHARGED with violating the .22 caliber rifle restriction, but three of the five board members voted to keep it any how.  The three votes to keep that restriction were politics at its worst:  keeping up an illusion that they were still doing "something" to "protect" their constituents, while actually oppressing those who are law abiding.

Anyway, this was still an important victory for York County - we can come back to get rid of that .22 caliber rifle restriction later.
