    • NEW HAMPSHIRE May Be the FIRST STATE to BAN ICLEI! the RNC Resolution Has Also Spurred OTHER ACTION! (2012/1/27)
      I found this fabulous bill based on this site so I confirmed it at the New Hampshire legislative (General Court is the name for the NH legislature) website and here’s the text of the bill that BANS ICLEI in the Granite State – House Bill 1634: STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twelve AN ACT prohibiting the state, counties, towns, and cities from implementing programs of, expending money for, receiving funding from, or contracting with the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives. Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened: 1 New Section; Towns and Cities; Prohibition Added.

    • NOT YET CONFIRMED: COUNTY in NC PASSES Anti-AGENDA 21 RESOLUTION Based on the RNC Resolution! (2012/1/27)
      I received the news through my blog background that Gaston County NC was about to have a resolution debated by its county commissioners to condemn Agenda 21. The Gaston County Board of Commissioners will consider a resolution condemning Agenda 21 during its regular meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Gaston County Courthouse, 325 N. Marietta St., Gastonia. There was some good quotes from these patriotic commissioners in this newspaper: But Loftis believes the county’s resolution “to heighten awareness of Agenda 21’s impact on communities in the United States” is necessary to shed light on a nefarious United Nations initiative.  *  *  *  “The point is, this is something people do need to know about because it’s happening in other parts of the country,” said Commissioner Tra...
    • Schumer Says “We Are in Great Shape” as GDP Growth Slows (2012/1/27)
      At a press conference on Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), a key member of Senate Democrats’ leadership, took to the podium to criticize something Gov. Mitch Daniels (R-IN) said in his Republican Address the night before. Gov. Daniels said , “On these evenings, Presidents naturally seek to find the sunny side of our national condition.  But when President Obama claims that the state of our union is anything but grave, he must know in his heart that this is not true.” In response, Schumer said , “The Republican speaker last night, Mitch Daniels, talked about Americans must talk about the state of the union as grave. So, we think we are in great shape. We are in good shape.” Senate Democrats think “we are in great shape”? Currently, over 13 million Americans are unemploye...
    • ROANOKE COUNTY Votes for ICLEI – SOME OBSERVATIONS (2012/1/27)
      I read with dismay this article on Roanoke County voting to remain in the unconstitutional federation known as ICLEI.  Here’s the justification for this vote: Supervisor Charlotte Moore, who has always supported the membership, voted for it. So did Republicans Mike Altizer and Richard Flora, who opposed a formal resolution from their own party calling for the county to cut ties with ICLEI. “They’ve never come out so strongly on something so … not fact oriented,” Flora said of the Republican Party’s position. He called the ICLEI opposition a movement similar to McCarthyism of the mid-20th century. “Tonight I’m part of a fringe element. I’m so proud of myself,” Supervisor Ed Elswick, an independent, said of his vote against ICLEI ...
    • APPELLATE DEFENDER NEEDS Co-Sponsor in the HOUSE! (2012/1/26)
      We have been talking about the need for an Appellate Defender in Virginia and I am told by deep background that we could sure use a co-sponsor in the House of Delegates.  I want to encourage all my readers to ask their House of Delegates member to co-sponsor the Petersen Appellate Defender budget amendment in the House.

    • Mechanicsville Elementry School Pushes Gay and Lesbian Agenda on Pre-Teen Kids in Hanover (2012/1/25)
      Update – 1/26/2012   7:00 PM There appears to be some misinformation going around. The video in this post is not being shown at any school. The only thing that has been implemented so far is just the first step by GLSEN to get in the door. “No Name Calling Week” is a program that they use to begin the process of “teaching tolerance” towards gay and lesbian people. The lesson ends in the information contained in the video below. At this point, I am sounding the alarm that this group has managed to get in the door. Next will come the pamphlets, the approved reading lists. No Name Calling week is simply one phase of the plan. And it is pretty simply to find out what they plan to do after this. They tell you. Here are the next programs they will push through th...
    • NOW I CAN TALK ABOUT IT! SUPPORT SEN. CHAP PETERSEN’s Budget Amendment Establishing an APPELLATE DEFENDER’S OFFICE! (2012/1/25)
      I hinted that there was news on the Appellate Defender’s Office front.  Now I can openly discuss it! Senator Chap Petersen of Fairfax has introduced a budget amendment ( here it is!) to reestablish an Appellate Defender’s Office in this Commonwealth.  It’s a tiny office at first, not even one quarter the size of the criminal appellate division of the Attorney General’s office, but it is a necessary start. The Constitution of the United States protects an indigent’s right to an attorney in both the trial courts and in the first appellate court in any state like Virginia that has two or more appellate courts.  But Virginia goes one step further – protecting by statute the right to appeal to the Supreme Court of Virginia.  Hence, indigents have the opp...
    • Obama Hawaii Vacation Bill to Taxpayers: $4 Million. Romney Taxes Paid: $3 Million (2012/1/24)
      Mitt Romney should be ashamed of himself! With only $3 Million going to the Federal Government, How does he expect Mooch-chelle and Barack Obama to be able to afford their lavish Hawaii vacations? According to the Huffington Post , the Obamas were forced to spend $4 Million in taxpayer’s dollars to vacation in the style to which they have become accustomed. His and her jumbo jets, lavish dinners and First Class accommodations all the way. It seems that Mitt should at least be willing to shell out another million or so to allow the first couple to enjoy themselves. 90 rounds of golf is not easy. It takes long walks on deserted beaches and fancy Luaus, expensive wines and imported delicacies to even begin to soften the calluses a 9 iron can cause. In fact, I think it is fair to say th...
    • Karen Kwiatkowski: ‘No Whining, Mr. Goodlatte!’ (2012/1/24)
      This is an article by Karen Kwiatkowski who is running against Republican Congressman Bob Goodlatte in VA-6 primary. Virginia Right! has endorsed Karen in her bid to retire 10 term Congressman Goodlatte. His support and push for internet censorship and giving the Hollywood Elite complete power over the internet after taking money from the Hollywood Lobby is the main reason that this endorsement was an easy decision. Goodlatte seems to overlook the destructive nature and hatred that the Hollywood elite has for the Republican Party. And aligning himself with Democrat Chriss Dodd on this subject is simply disgraceful. Please consider supporting Karen Kwiatkowski in her bid to send a left wing Republican home. We need strong Conservatives in Washington! No Whining, Mr. Goodlatte! Good people ...

    • LEAVE HUNGARY ALONE! the Obama Administration Is Taking Sides With the EU to FORCE HUNGARY to Change Its Laws! (2012/1/24)
      How outraged can I be?  The Hungary situation is outrageous.  The EU is trying to use legal and economic power to force Hungary to change internal laws that are none of the EU’s business. Here’s the legal threats: Unimpressed by Mr. Orban’s facile promises, the majority parties in the European Parliament now want governmental leaders to consider invoking a clause of the E.U. treaty that would strip Hungary of some voting rights if Mr. Orban continued to flout European law. Europe’s powers to nudge Hungary back from authoritarianism are limited. But to its credit, it has begun wielding them. *  *  * If Hungary fails to satisfy the commission on those issues, the matter could go to the European Court of Justice, which has the authority to fine Hungary. Beyond that, under...
    • IS the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION Supporting ARGENTINA in the FALKLAND ISLANDS Dispute? (2012/1/22)
      I am greatly concerned about any intervention in a foreign dispute by the Obama Administration.  But the Falkland dispute is special because the answers seem so clear for me and I was confident that we would stand with the Falkland islanders’ wish to remain British would be honored by the US.  Now I read this in a recent Guardian article : A US State Dpartment spokesman said on Friday: “We recognise de facto United Kingdom administration of the islands but take no position regarding sovereignty.” We take no position?  NO POSITION?  The islanders wishes have no bearing?  This is not the only time the Obama Administration took a pretend neutral position.  Consider this resolution of the Organization of American States: It has not yet been possible to resume the negot...
    • Editorials Castigate Obama”s Keystone Rejection as “the Most Craven Sort of Election-Year Politics” (2012/1/20)
      Trying to find any sense in President Obama’s stunning rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline and the 20,000 jobs it would have created, columnist Robert Samuelson writes today, “It isn’t often that a president makes a decision that has no redeeming virtues and — beyond the symbolism — won’t even advance the goals of the groups that demanded it. All it tells us is that Obama is so obsessed with his re-election that, through some sort of political calculus, he believes that placating his environmental supporters will improve his chances.” Indeed, many other observers have criticized President Obama for his placement of electoral politics of American jobs and energy security with this decision. The Houston Chronicle editorialized yesterday, “President Barack Obama has...
    • Will Newt Survive His Ex-Wives With Knives? (2012/1/20)

(They smile in your face) The O’Jays would appreciate the jam Newt Gingrich has found himself in. Backstabbers! But perhaps none can stab harder or deeper than a vindictive and bitter ex. I’m not trying to be sexist here, and I know a lot of men who are real jerks to their ex-wives and do incredibly horrific things, but I think there are some women among us that are so skillful and adept at vindictiveness that their accuracy and timing of the barbs and bombs would make the best missile guidance system blush with shame. Most men will onl...

    • Rotary Club makes donation (2012/1/27)
      The Western Henrico Rotary Club recently was awarded a district simplified grant to be used for the Peter Paul Development group, an afterschool program that educates 55 children in Richmond's East End, drawing from four of the city's largest public housing projects. The grant provides a reading and comprehension development curriculum used by the program. Recently, Jim Bynum (Rotary district governor), Bill Liepis (district grants) and Michael Binns (Rotary Foundation chair) visited the school and helped put WHRC stickers on workbooks provided by the grants.
    • Marshall sees hope for ‘personhood’ bill (2012/1/27)
      Now that Democrats no longer control the House or the Senate, Delegate Bob Marshall, R-Manassas, is hoping the General Assembly will pass his bill defining a human embryo or fetus is a person under the law. House Bill 1 would provide that “unborn children at every stage of development enjoy all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of the Commonwealth.” The bill, which is before the House Courts of Justice Committee, says that this “personhood” status starts “from the moment of conception.” Marshall said HB 1 is significant for several reasons.
    • 2012 Va. General Assembly Q&A (2012/1/27)
      State legislators have returned to Richmond for a 60-day session of the General Assembly, with questions about funding for transportation, education and the state’s retirement system taking center stage as the session began earlier this month. The Henrico Citizen invited each delegate and state senator whose district encompasses a portion of Henrico to provide their thoughts about the 2012 session. The answers of those who responded appear below. 1. What is the most important issue facing the General Assembly this year? Why? Farrell – This year the most important issue facing the General Assembly is clearly the budget. There will obviously be high demands from certain state programs for funding as federal funding is falling back. Managing such demands in a concise and responsible manne...

      Henrico County Police have made two arrests in connection with several burglaries in Henrico's West End, with the possibility of more charges as their investigation continues. Police this week arrested 25-year-old Benjamin O. Heslep, of the 5500 block of Cedar Croft Street, and 22-year-old Michele S. Rintoul, of the 7800 block of Shadowood Court; both suspects were charged with burglary, grand larceny, larceny with intent to sell and conspiracy in each of four separate incidents.

    • County to legislature: ‘Don’t hurt us’ (2012/1/24)
      "Don't hurt us." That's the clear and simple message being delivered by Henrico County's elected officials, administrators and lobbyists to the General Assembly, which convened in Richmond for a 60-day session last week. The missive represents a change from years past, during which county officials annually presented "wish lists" of top priorities to the county's General Assembly delegation. Six years ago, that list contained 14 items. This year, it's down to just one: Do no harm. By placing their sole focus on those three words, local officials hope to make a salient point to lawmakers: localities – Henrico included – are struggling to deal with their own financial problems and cannot afford additional funding cuts from the state.
