Bob McDonnell – LEADERSHIP

While Creigh Deeds ponders, Bob McDonnell proposes meaningful, positive ACTION for Virginia.  Does the Commonwealth need a LEADER or a FOLLOWER as her next Governor?

 
It’s small wonder that McDonnell currently has a 14 point lead.

Shropshire Supporter on The Bag-Ban: Does Ardent Equate to Being Verdant?

CP received the following letter came from Kelly Davis:

I’m responding to an article you posted April 24 to your blog about Alderman Shropshire’s legislation to ban plastic checkout bags. You say, “Besides that, the ban failed here because of Sam's inability to consider alternatives that might have been more effective and might have been passed by his colleagues.” I’m an environmental scientist and have been assisting Alderman Shropshire with the legislation since June 2007. I continue to work closely with Alderman Shropshire in reference to this and other important environmental issues.

In November 2007, exactly one week before the final vote on the bag ban legislation (O-27-07) there was a meeting sponsored by Alderman Shropshire, David Prosten of the Anne Arundel County Sierra Club and me.

Senate Moves Towards Giving DC a Vote in Congress

As with most liberal propositions, it feels so good.  Let's give those poor deprived souls in the Federal District "full voting rights".  Let's give them "representation".  Well, the Senate appears to be on its way.

Well how can you possibly oppose giving the people of DC full representation?  It's easy.  It's wrong and it's probably unconstitutional.

The only reason the District of Columbia has any electoral votes in a presidential election is because of the 23rd Amendment.  That OK, because the people of this country agreed to amend the constitution.  It doesn't matter whether I agree with it or not.  However, Congress doesn't have the authority to give seats in Congress to non-states.
