What Three Townhalls Have Revealed! Members of the Board of Education announced that THEY will select between the WOKE Northam or REFORMED Youngkin History standards proposal based solely on public comment. Who is making public comments and what public comment sources are accepted? 80-95% of public comments made at the three townhalls were made by WOKE special interest groups! Virginia Education Association and local union members are largely behind the opposition to Younkin's reforms! Virginia Education Association is so radical that only 7.5% of teachers in our largest city of Virginia Beach are members. But wait, that's not all! Governor Youngkin campaigned on education reform and appointed 5 new board of education members giving Virginia State a 5-4 majority providing a clear pathway to achieve reforms. In February, Democrats in the state senate voted to remove one of Youngkin's appointees, Suparna Dutta, leaving the Board of Education in a 50/50 split, and simultaneously announced Townhall meetings would be held on Youngkin's Education History Reform proposal. WOKE BOE Board Members, in cooperation with state Dem's, the Virginia Education Association, and state unions, has RIGGED this system against the parents and real stakeholders. The Board of Education has created ONLY two ways to submit public comment, serving as a vote for or against Youngkin's curriculum reform. SHOW UP and make a public comment at a townhall or SUBMIT a public comment through the BOE portal. The BOE public comment portal has been scripted, by design, for academics and professional educators; It is NOT a parent and community friendly public comment portal that allows parents and the community to simply support Youngkin's proposal in general, but forces individuals to comment on a specific singular piece of content you support or object to. It is confusing and restrictive ON PURPOSE! Go to the Official Public Comment Form>> These townhall meetings are a public ruse orchestrated by an unelected WOKE collective, to sell the idea that the radical Northam curriculum is largely supported by the parents and people of Virginia. BUT WE KNOW THE TRUTH! Enough with the charades! It's time to put the decision-making power back into the hands of the people of Virginia! Call on Governor Youngkin and the state legislature to intervene! Elected officials should be the only policy makers! Act for America is going to hand deliver your petitions into the hands of the Governor and lawmakers across the state demanding education reforms for parents NOT special interests! |

Our team continues to work hard for Virginians across the Fifth District. Since taking office:
House Republicans on Tuesday afternoon introduced a sprawling energy package aimed at boosting fossil fuels and mining and limiting environmental reviews for infrastructure projects.
The nearly 200-page bill, which they announced last week would be H.R.1 - signaling that it is the party's top priority - is highly partisan and is unlikely to pass through a divided congress.
However, it does outline Republican goals and positions - particularly as they seek to both criticize the Biden Administration's energy policies but also try to find a bipartisan compromise for speeding up infrastructure project approvals. Read more

Shows California Appeals Court that law violates the Constitution |
WASHINGTON—The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) has submitted a friend-of-the-court brief before a California state appellate court in a case in which citizen voters challenge a San Francisco alien voting law. The law gives the right to vote in school board elections to alien residents of the city. A trial court struck down the law under the California Constitution, which reserves the right to vote to citizens, and San Francisco brought this appeal.
In its brief, IRLI shows why the law violates the Equal Protection Clauses of both the federal Constitution and the California Constitution. United States citizens should be considered a protected class under both provisions, IRLI argues, and thus the San Francisco law, which automatically dilutes the votes of every American citizen in San Francisco, can only stand under either Constitution if it is necessary to serve a compelling governmental interest.
No governmental interest in giving the vote to aliens can be compelling, IRLI argues, because doing so necessarily infringes on the fundamental sovereign interest, recognized again and again by the U.S. Supreme Court, of U.S. citizens in the democratic self-government of their country. Aliens are "by definition outside of" the political community of the United States, as the Supreme Court has put it, and "the right to govern [and to vote] is reserved to citizens."
"We are fighting this law and others like it around it around the country—including in our nation's capital—because they erode the People's democratic sovereignty over this country," said Dale L. Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of IRLI. "And that erosion will spread. If laws like this are not struck down, next there will be calls in many states to allow aliens to vote in statewide and even federal elections. We hope the court is assisted by our brief, and invalidates this assault on the sovereignty of the American people."
The case is Lacy v. City and County of San Francisco, No. A165899 (Cal. App. Dist. 1 Div. 5). |

The Virginia Medical Freedom Alliance (VAMFA) is concerned that the Virginia Board of Health may be considering the addition of the C-19 jab to the required immunizationschedule for school children (which applies to all children under 18 years in VA, regardless of school attendance or type).
Also, we encourage a phone call to call Governor Youngkin, (804)786-2211 to demand that honor his tweet from of Oct 2022 that he will NOT allow this experimental, toxic jab to be mandated and added to the childhood immunization schedule.

State Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh, far-left politician in the Nebraska legislature, has filibustered every single piece of legislation for the past three weeks. The legislature is now halfway through its session and major bills are not moving. She's been very clear, telling legislators, "I am going to make it painful — painful for everyone. I will burn the session to the ground."
Why is Sen. Cavanaugh doing this? She's demanding that Republicans either withdraw or defeat a bill to protect children from chemical sterilization and mutilating transgender surgery.
This is insane! The American people overwhelmingly support this legislation. But progressives are fighting like mad to stop these bills in every state legislature across the country. Joe Biden has denounced them as "sinful."
We don't allow nine year-olds to get tattoos, and in many states a parent cannot even allow a child to get a tattoo. But tattoos are insignificant compared to a decision that sterilizes them, mutilates them and condemns them to a life of health problems.
When it comes to subjecting children to such drastic actions, most Americans rightly say, "NO!"
Why are liberals so committed to forcing this insanity on our children?
Every conservative should speak up as loudly as possible, exposing the left's transgender extremism so that it is impossible for the public to remain ignorant about what is going on.
While we're on the topic, check out my latest column at CNSNews.com exposing the left's anti-family, anti-child agenda. Their insane policies are child abuse!
"By the way, the word democracy appears in none of our founding documents.
"The Founders of our nation recognized that we need government, but because the essence of government is force, and force is evil, government should be as small as possible. The Founders intended for us to have a limited republican form of government where human rights precede government and there is rule of law. Citizens, as well as government officials, are accountable to the same laws. Government intervenes in civil society only to protect its citizens against force and fraud, but does not intervene in the cases of peaceable, voluntary exchange."
Walter Williams
