Abigail Isn’t Fooling Anyone, She Votes with Pelosi 100% of the Time

September 30th, 2022

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY - Today, the Vega campaign responded to Abigail Spanberger's attempt to hide the fact she votes with Nancy Pelosi 100% of the time.   "Abigail Spanberger's election year transformation is becoming stale, it's the same thing every two years. With less than forty days before the election, Abigail is grasping at anything to keep herself relevant as she tries to hide her voting record from Virginians. Too little, too late. Virginians can see through Abigail's desperate attempts to mislead them and they are ready to vote her out in November."  – Vega Spokesperson   Abigail has supported Nancy Pelosi's agenda every step of the way, casting votes in lockstep with Pelosi and the radical left:   Abigail has voted with Nancy Pelosi on trillion-dollar spending packages that have driven up the cost of living and crippled Virginians pocketbooks. Abigail enabled Nancy Pelosi and the Defund the Police movement, voting with Pelosi to defund the police. Abigail voted with Nancy Pelosi to cut parents out of their children's education, doing the bidding of teacher unions.

Spanberger Caught Misleading Virginians, Again

September 27th, 2022

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY - Today, the Vega campaign issued a response to Abigail Spanberger's half-baked attempts to start a fake debate on, you guessed it, the topic of having debates.   "How do you know a politician can't defend their policies of out-of-control spending leading to record inflation, soaring energy costs, and crushing grocery prices? They manufacture a fake debate about debates. Abigail is clearly a politician in a very tough spot having to defend her record." – Vega Spokesperson   Once again, Abigail Spanberger has been caught misleading Virginians in an attempt to distract voters away from her failed record. Vega agreed early last week to a televised debate in Prince William County hosted by the Prince William Committee of 100 and the League of Women Voters scheduled for October 21st.

Victory! Ninth Circuit Refuses to Close Alien Detention Centers in California

September 27, 2022

Agreeing with IRLI, full court finds state law unconstitutional

WASHINGTON—Yesterday, in a crucial victory, the full Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting en banc, struck down a California law that would have ended all alien detention in the state. The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) had filed a friend-of-the-court brief before the full court urging it to find this law unconstitutional.   Earlier, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit also had struck down the law. But the full court vacated that decision and reheard the case en banc. In June, when IRLI filed its brief before the en banc court, Dale L. Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of IRLI, commented:   "As disturbing as it is that the full Ninth Circuit took up this case, in which the panel had reached the right result, we hope the full court will reach that same result for the reasons we provide, and acknowledge that this law flagrantly defies the Constitution."   In its brief before the full court, IRLI showed that the California law is preempted under the Constitution's Supremacy Clause because it intentionally interferes with the federal program of using contractors to house immigration detainees, that no "presumption against preemption" applies because immigration is exclusively an area of federal concern, and that the law also violates the immunity doctrine.   In its opinion yesterday, the full Ninth Circuit agreed with each of these points, finding the state law unconstitutional because it would veto the federal government's decision to use private contractors to detain aliens in California.   "We applaud the full court for recognizing that the intended effect of this law—to end federal detention of aliens in California—is what makes it unconstitutional," said Wilcox today. "Under our Constitution, a state may not interfere with—much less cancel—federal immigration law enforcement, and we are pleased that California's law attempting to do just that is no more."   The case is The GEO Group, Inc., v. Newsom and United States v. Newsom, Nos. 20-56172, 20-56304 (Ninth Circuit) (en banc).

Russell Co. Declares it’s a Pro-life Sanctuary!

The Family Foundation

Victoria Cobb, President

Monday, September 26, 2022

 

The mainstream media won't share this information with you, but we will: the amazing people of Russell County, Virginia, have once again set the standard for the rest of the state by declaring itself a pro-life sanctuary!  On September 12th, the Russell County Board of Supervisors, after listening to their constituents, passed a local resolution that declares the county to be a community that promotes the dignity of all human beings, from conception through natural death. 

 

They are now the first locality in Virginia whose elected body passed a resolution that vows to do everything within its powers to protect the full humanity of the preborn child.  Here are some of the strong declaratory statements contained within their resolution:

• "The Russell County Board of Supervisors hereby recognizes and declares the full humanity of the pre-born child … where the dignity of all human beings, from conception through death, will be defended and promoted."
  
  
• "The Russell County Board of Supervisors hereby resolves to enforce this resolution by all means within its power…"

Now their achievements have inspired Tazwell County to consider a similar resolution affirming the dignity from conception to natural death at its October 4th BOS meeting.  We can't let Russell County (and maybe Tazwell) be alone – every pro-life citizen should help spread pro-life sanctuaries statewide!

Rocky Mountain Black Conservatives: Where Are The Hurricanes?

Funny how certain hysterias are only as good as the hysteria surrounding them, but then when there is none, well, the proponents look pretty silly.

Such was the case a few decades ago when the 'global warming' summit for world leaders that was scheduled in Europe had to be delayed due to a massive snow storm (which lead to the rebranding of 'global warming' to 'global climate change.')

The whole 'man-caused global climate change is the biggest existential threat to the planet' narrative keeps getting propped up by the left only to run aground as mother nature refuses to cooperate with the hype.

A few years ago I wrote about how extreme the extremist's rhetoric was getting with Hilary Clinton claiming women "will bear the brunt of looking for the food, looking for the firewood, looking for the place to migrate to when all of the grass is finally gone as the desertification moves south and you have to keep moving your livestock, or your crops are no longer growing; they're burning up in the intense heat"; Rachel Maddow informing us that Miami "is already experiencing serious flooding on sunny days, as a result of sea level rise", and I included a bevvy of other dire, insane, apocalyptic quotes.

Don't believe it? Read "Is it the 'End of the World" sometime.

By the way - if Miami is "experiencing serious flooding", wouldn't that mean Miami Beach is gone? The beach would have to already be underwater for the city to be flooded, right? Have you heard a peep about the aquatic disappearance of Miami Beach & its tens of thousands of displaced residents? The death of its tourism industry as there's no beach at Miami Beach to vacation on? Etc.?

No? I'll tell you why. Because its still there. The number of dire climate-change predictions not coming true are too numerous to count, but here's one fresh off the press -- WHERE ARE THE HURRICANES??!

In his 2006 book & film of the same name, "An Inconvenient Truth", Al Gore claimed there would be no more polar bear habitat in a matter of decades. That was 16 years ago. Well? In the 1970'scientists estimated there were about 10,000 polar bears living in the wild on planet earth. They now estimate the total polar bear population to be about 26,000 today.

Aside from a submerged Miami Beach know what else you've heard nearly nothing about? HURRICANES!! Had you even noticed? You likely caught wind (no pun intended) of the destruction Fiona wreaked upon Puerto Rico last week but did you notice that was the first such reporting you heard this year? And its September! That's because prior to Fiona - there haven't been any hurricanes.

At the start of this year, due to severe climate change, 'scientists' anticipated the worst hurricane season in history. Have you noticed the lack of hurricanes in 2022? Maybe you haven't, so let me bring you up to speed: this supposedly disastrous storm season is 83% below normal value. From May through August - prime hurricane season - there were NO named hurricanes at all. Not one. It was the first time that has happened since the 1940s.

Decades ago we were told that mankind was ushering in an ice age & we were going to freeze. Didn't happen. Then it was atmospheric-pollution-caused acid rain that was to spell our doom. Then a growing hole in the ozone layer meant our children were soon to be born with scales instead of skin. Through the years we've been told that because of what we're doing to the earth we're going to drown, cause mass extinctions, freeze, dry, fly, fry and die. Guess what? We're still here, sweet corn grows just as tall as ever, sardines still swim into our nets, and we're just as comfortable today as in 1977, 1942 and as far back as any can remember.

Yet despite the fact many of the same 'experts' (who said we'd all fry in the 80s) said this would be the worst hurricane year ever, and we've had a historic derth of them, as late as last month the NOAA was still claiming it "expects above-normal Atlantic hurricane season" even though hurricane season is nearly over. Why?

Because when the science doesn't fit your narrative, ....change the narrative.

Congressman Bob Good: Protecting Our Children

I had the privilege of joining some of my Republican colleagues in speaking at a press conference to discuss the Protect Children's Innocence Act. The purpose was to combat the Democrats' radical agenda that promotes gender-confusion, sexualization of minors, and even irreparable surgery to change their bodies.

At the press conference, we heard from Chloe Cole, whose parents followed the advice of so-called medical professionals who performed life-altering surgery on her as a child. Chloe's story is filled with regret and illustrates that children need the right kind of caring support to help guide them through the most difficult times in their lives.

NO elected official should stand silently by while our children are subjected to permanent physical mutilation of their bodies or dangerous hormonal treatments in the false name of "gender affirming care." And medical providers need to be held accountable for any bodily harm they inflict on a child.

That is why I joined Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (GA-14) courageous stand in introducing the Protect Children's Innocence Act. I hope others will add their support to this commonsense legislation and help us end this abusive malpractice.

Team Virginia: Thank you Delegate Rob Bell

Friend, This past year Republicans have made strides in restoring common sense law and order in the Commonwealth. We at the Republican Party of Virginia want to highlight the fantastic work our Delegates and Senators in the General Assembly were able to accomplish this past session. Today we highlight the Chair of the Courts of Justice Committee in the House of Delegates, Rob Bell. In the past legislative session, Delegate Bell was the Chief Patron on many Bills that would end up becoming law. He spearheaded HB 741, which requires local school boards to have an updated floor plan for each district's public primary and secondary school. Keeping these floor plans up to date is critical in ensuring that any emergency services can take action more accurately and more effectively. Delegate Bell also sponsored HB 740, which makes it a Class 6 Felony to tamper with or steal a catalytic converter from a vehicle in the Commonwealth. Earlier this year, many heard stories about neighbors losing catalytic converters, and Delegate Bell took action. Thank you to Delegate Bell for keeping our students and our personal property safe! Find out more about Delegate Rob Bell here! Republicans are leading the way to make Virginia the best place to live, work, and raise a family. Be on the lookout for more GOP Wins from this last session as we continue to thank our great elected officials for the hard work that they are doing!

GOP's "Commitment to America" promises to end border surges and mandate E-Verify

Fri, Sep. 23^th

House Republican Leadership committed to passing legislation as part of their "Commitment to America" that would end the border crisis, prevent future border surges, and significantly reduce illegal immigration.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), and GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) officially announced the Commitment at a public event in Pennsylvania earlier today.

The Commitment includes:

• Fully funding effective border enforcement strategies, infrastructure, and advanced technology to prevent illegal crossings and trafficking by cartels
• Ending catch-and-release loopholes
• Mandating E-Verify
• Eliminating welfare incentives

While the Commitment is light on details, it's a significant step forward for the House GOP Leadership. In the past, GOP Leaders have been reluctant to talk about anything other than border funding. But the Commitment recognizes the impact that implementing a nationwide workplace verification system would have on discouraging mass illegal immigration and visa overstays and how critical closing the loopholes, mostly within the asylum process, are to preventing border surges.

NumbersUSA issued the following statement commending the "Commitment to America:"

The Biden border crisis has led to more than 3.3 million apprehensions of illegal border crossers since early last year. Instead of addressing this record-level crisis, Pres. Biden has absolved himself of all responsibility. House Republicans, through their "Commitment to America", promise to tackle the ongoing border crisis head on and hold the administration accountable.

In addition to providing adequate funding to secure the border and enforce immigration laws already passed by Congress, the Commitment promises to close the loopholes - like catch and release - that have been exploited by the Biden Administration and illegal border crossers alike.

Just as importantly, the Commitment promises to protect American jobs from illegal aliens by requiring the use of E-Verify. NumbersUSA applauds the House GOP's commitment to end the ongoing border crisis and prevent future border surges, and we look forward to working with House Republican leaders as they follow through on this commitment.

Obviously, holding the House GOP to their commitment to mandate E-Verify and close the loopholes won't be an easy task. But we're confident that NumbersUSA activists and other concerned citizens will hold GOP House Members to their promises should they take control of the House in the 118th Congress.

RPV: Thank You Senator Todd Pillion

This past year Republicans have made strides in restoring common sense law and order in the Commonwealth. We at the Republican Party of Virginia want to highlight the fantastic work our Delegates and Senators in the General Assembly were able to accomplish this past session.  Today, we highlight Senator Todd Pillion from Southwest Virginia. This past Legislative Session, Senator Pillion sponsored SB600 which requires local School Boards to work with the localities Chief Law Enforcement Officer when conducting yearly safety audits. Previously the Superintendent was only required to provide a copy of the audit to Law Enforcement upon request.   Senator Pillion also spearheaded SB 726 which makes it the official policy of the General Assembly to encourage agricultural production in the Commonwealth with specific emphasis on the livestock industry. Providing our farmers with incentives to ramp up production will help every Virginian when they go to the grocery store.  Thank you Senator Pillion for all your hard work this past session! Find out more about Senator Todd Pillion here!

Obenshain Releases Statement on the 2022 Model Policies on the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for All Students and Parents

Updated Policy for Virginia's Public School Systems

 

HARRISONBURG - Today, Senator Mark Obenshain (R-Rockingham) released the following statement in response to the just-released 2022 Draft Model Policies on the Privacy Dignity, and Respect for All Student and Parents from the Virginia Department of Education:

 

"I applaud the 2022 Draft Policy released today by Governor Youngkin and the Virginia Department of Education. This policy was crafted in compliance with the 2020 law signed by then-Governor Northam and patroned by Delegate Marcus Simon and Senator Jennifer Boysko.

 

Last year, when then-Governor Northam released his administration's draft model policy, it flatly ignored the rights of students and parents. It went so far as to prohibit school staff from notifying a parent or guardian if a student requested affirmation of his or her gender identity. It even suggested that there was an obligation for school officials to report parents to the Department of Social Services if they suspected them to be insufficiently supportive of their child's gender identity. The Northam model policy was so extreme and out of touch with communities across Virginia that it was adopted by only approximately 10% of the school divisions in Virginia.  This  notwithstanding the statutory mandate that it be adopted by every school division. The 2020 legislation requiring the adoption of this policy was just a bad idea and it accomplished little beyond making Virginia schools an even bigger cultural battleground than they already were.

 

Parents must be involved in their children's education. Period. A child's development is acutely susceptible to influence and it is the responsibility of parents to play a central role in shaping and molding that development.

 

To the extent that the law requires adoption of a model policy by school divisions across Virginia, I support this new draft model policy which fully complies with the Code of Virginia. And I strongly suspect that the 90% of school divisions across Virginia that were unwilling to adopt the old policy will find themselves much more comfortable with this policy.

 

I hope that parents, teachers, administrators, and school board members across Virginia will work together to adopt policies that will respect parents' rights and ensure our children are treated fairly and equitably in a safe environment."

Senator Obenshain represents the twenty-sixth district in the Senate of Virginia. The district includes the city of Harrisonburg and the counties of Warren, Shenandoah, Page Rappahannock and Rockingham (part). He is running to represent the new second district of the Senate of Virginia which includes the city of Harrisonburg and the counties of Rockingam, Augusta (part), Page, Bath and Highland.
