Each State Retaliate: VIRGINIA

Tea Party Tim - Steps In

Defamatory language and profanity (including @*$%& type comments) will be deleted by the moderator. All disagreements will remain civil and not be allowed to derogate from mutual respect into childish ranter.

I receive dozens of emails every day requesting donations. Some of them are for a particular cause, some are to defeat a particular candidate and others are to support a particular candidate. Friends, if people do not get involved and vote all the wealth ever generated in the world will have no impact. The privilege of voting goes beyond just pulling a lever. People need to understand who and what they are voting for. This blog is designed to allow people to discuss issues and candidates, become informed and involved.

The recently passed Health Care Reform Bill is not only an issue of Constitutional debate, but also of representation of the will of the people. The candidates in the US House & Senate that voted contrary to the will of the people are identified by state on this blog. There are videos that are in the process of being added for each of these politicians. I felt that it was far better to allow you to hear what they have to say in their own words, rather than mine.

VIRGINIA

Politicians that Voted for Health Care Reform

Senator Warner
Senator Webb
Representative Robert C Scott District 3
Representative Tom Perriello District 5
Representative James P Moran District 8
Representative Gerald E Connolly District 11

This is not at all a representation of Virginia. This is another State that with proper representation could have defeated the bill. A tried and true State, these people will not let this go without repercussions.

Senator Warner explains that there is no place in the Constitution for health care, but defends it by saying that there is no place in the Constitution that speaks about a telephone.

Senator Webb interogates our military officials as if they are criminals. I love the "gotcha" moment that he expected on the McChrystal 60 minutes interview that turns out to have been filmed 6 months sooner than he had thought.

It seems difficult to find anything that Robert Scott has done. Maybe the voters in Virginia wonder the same thing.

Representative Tom Perriello admits that "stealing" is a problem in politics. Wow!

Representative Jim Moran took a different approach at his town hall meetings, making sure that signs supporting the reform were distributed and bringing in supporters to tilt the debate in his favor.

Representative Gerald Connolly takes a really different approach at this town hall meeting by not making it open to the public, including his constituents.
