Say “NO” To More Refugees In Virginia; Here’s How.


Our 2nd Amendment Rights are not all that is at stake with the pending change in Power in Richmond. Governor Northam has reportedly sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, asking to have more refugees settled here in Virginia. We did not consent to this and should do our part to prevent the Commonwealth of Virginia from becoming the next California. Below is a message to Secretary Pompeo that can be copied and pasted into a message to the U.S. State Department at this link: U.S. State Department

Kenny Hogge, Sr.



Dear Secretary Pompeo,

We the People of the Commonwealth of Virginia, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ask the United States Department of State, to ignore Governor Ralph Northam’s request to have more refugees settled within the Commonwealth of Virginia.


Respectfully,

Of Equal Rights Before The Courts And The Government

"Distinctions in society will always exist under every just government.  Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth can not be produced by human institutions.  In the full enjoyment of the gifts of Heaven and the fruits of superior industry, economy, and virtue, every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when laws undertake to add to these natural and just advantages artificial distinctions, to make the rich richer, and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society....  who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their Government.  There are no necessary evils in government.  Its evils exist only in its abuses.  If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing."

Andrew Jackson

"Here there is no room for favored classes or monopolies;  the principle of our Government is that of equal laws and freedom of industry."

Andrew Johnson

What all of this says, from our founding fathers, it is the statement of equality before the law and of full equal rights.  Anyone see this still in existence today?

Virginia Ken Cuccinelli's Conflict of Interest Concerns

As Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli is responsible for providing advice to the state Board of Elections on legal issues relating to campaigns and elections — including his own campaign for governor.

That means he's responsible for issuing legal opinions about the implementation of voting and election laws, and will be the Board's go-to lawyer if there are any problems or irregularities on Election Day!

If Ken Cuccinelli wants to resolve this stunning conflict of interest, he should recuse himself and his office from election matters immediately.


Ken Cuccinelli isn't the first Attorney General to run for governor of Virginia. But he did break a long-standing bipartisan tradition by flat out refusing to step down during the campaign.

In recent history, former attorneys generals have resigned because of the time commitments of a gubernatorial campaign (when Governor McDonnell stepped aside, he said a campaign "preclude[s] you from working full-time as attorney general") and because of the inevitable conflicts of interest that arise for any attorney general who is also a candidate for governor.

Earlier this month, the Daily Press Editorial Board called on Cuccinelli to step aside, explaining, "if a Democratic campaign needs clarification on a legal matter, it must seek guidance from an office headed by the Republican candidate for governor. And if questions arise for the GOP, the attorney general's office cannot be expected to give counsel to a ticket headed by its own boss."

From the Terry McAuliffe camp.  Sent via email to us.  It's about time that his staff actually sent something worth looking at and reporting and even better yet, without asking for money as well.  And this time we have to admit, it looks like he's right.  There is a very real potential for a conflict of interest here that is not in the least bit fair.  Now we will not try and pretend that we like McAuliffe, we don't.  But this is inexcusable by the Cuccinelli Camp and of very serious concern.  Cuccinelli either needs to step down from his position as Attorney General or leave the race.  

A very black eye for the Cuccinelli camp.
