A Symposium on local Sea Level Rising & Climate Change to be held in Mathews
Dear Concerned Citizens,
Attached you will find information about a Symposium on Sea Level Rising & Climate Change. This meeting is geared mostly to how these issues will affect our local area. This Symposium ties what is called the "false premise that disastrous climate conditions are manmade" and "false predictions of sea level rising" to the taking of property rights.
The main speaker will be Dr. Fred Singer, Austrian-born American physicist and emeritus professor of Environmental Science at the University of Virginia. Dr. Singer trained as an atmospheric physicist and is known for his work in space research, atmospheric pollution, rocket and satellite technology, and is an outspoken critic of the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming. He has authored several books.
Hopefully you will find this different perspective enlightening and of benefit in forming your own opinion about the causes and affects of global warming and sea level rising. The Tuscany Forum takes no position on such issues, but strives to inform you of varying perspectives on issues effecting our county.
Date: January 23rd
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: Cornerstone Fellowship Church, Mathews Virginia
Directions: Cornerstone Fellowship Church is located at 2243 Buckley Hall Road, Mathews County. Coming from Yorktown, go across the Coleman Bridge to Gloucester on Rt 17 North, take Business Rt 17 North toward the Gloucester Courthouse, then take right onto Route 14 East, then take a left onto Route 3 North, then a right onto Route 198. Go right onto Route 198 a mile or 2 and go just past where Route 3 goes off to the North. The church is on your left at that corner of Rt 198 & Rt 3.
Also mark your calendar to attend the York County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday evening, January 17th, to make your voice heard regarding tax increases for the upcoming 2013 budget. Meetings are held in York Hall, 7:00pm.

YOUR HELP is needed by Tom Harmon for VA Senate this last week!!!
The Tuscany Forum provides the following information at the request of Lynda Fairman, York County Coordinator, Tom Harmon for Senate
The Forum encourages all York County Citizens to actively support the candidates of your choice!
***************************************************************************
We look forward to seeing everyone at these events in these last days before the Nov. 8 election!!
Tom Harmon has a real chance of winning IF the voters from York County and the 2nd District get to the polls on Nov. 8th!
Even if you aren’t in the 2nd District, it’s important to help get voters motivated to elect Tom Harmon! We need you!!
Tom’s opponent thinks York County doesn’t matter even though we’re now in the 2nd District – it’s time we showed her all of York County & all of the 2nd District care about who represents us in Richmond!
IT’S UP TO YOU TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Thanks for all you’re doing to get the word out that there IS a conservative choice for the 2nd District Senate – Tom Harmon!!
Hope to see you at my home for Tom’s “Meet & Greet” on Nov. 1st!

Go to this official site: http://redistricting.dls.virginia.gov/2010/
When it comes up, select "Interactive Map & Plans" then change "Default" window to desired state race: Senate or House (of Delegates).
The left sidebar should automatically 'check' the last map choice: "passed 4/28/11" to get the final version of the new lines.
Above the map in the menu bar, type in your address. The map will place a flag on that location.
You can then zoom in and out to see the district lines & streets. You'll see the # of the district in that area.
If you need Tom’s literature, yard signs, bumper stickers, etc.
Contact Lynda Fairman (757-593-1854), Carl Anderson (757-870-6081), or CM Darryl Postell (757-303-8871)!
