Yikes! I nearly missed this one despite the best efforts of friends like Bruce and James (thanks guys). If you live in Prince William County, Occoquan District and are registered to vote, you are eligible to vote in a special election to fill the seat vacated by Corey Stewart (who is now a Chairman) as […]
Virginia holds elections every year. Typically federal offices are done on even years just like the rest of the country; but state office elections are held on odd years. In 2007 there will be re-elections for all the House of Delegates seats and all the State Senator seats.
This last weekend before the election we should all be getting voters to commit to going to the polls or voting absentee, and I certainly have been doing that and will continue, but only after a short break from politics. My wife and I are sporadically celebrating 14 years of adventure together (yes, sweetheart, I […]
Last night, Erci and I went down to a firestation off Yates Ford Road to attending training for how to be an election officer on election day. We’ve decided to help the county run the election this year. Every year pretty much every county in the state is short-handed for volunteers to work the election. […]
Last night I was released early from work to sleep for this morning’s big install at work (that went well, BTW). Instead of resting, I went over to Judy Feder‘s campaign HQ and spent four hours stuffing, sealing, and stamping envelopes; then sorting contribution sheets and doing research online. It was fun, and I can […]
I had a politics-free weekend with Erci to honor our 13th Wedding Anniversary. We had lunch at Maestro with the Smithsonian Association where chef Fabio Trabocchi prepared amazing meal of sausage terrine and pork chops on risotto. Yum! Then we drove out to see beautiful leaves and taste wine at Stillhouse Vineyards and Three Foxes […]
Howard is a very good friend of mine and he is going through some challenges establishing his Massage Therapy business in Manassas. Turns out bigotry has reared it’s ugly head in old town Manassas. He made the the news, first in the Manassas City Journal, and now the Washington Post. Sadly the Post’s article (Monday, […]
Craig has started an interesting discussion about the legality and ethics of those campaign signs that popup every year (sometimes twice a year for primary elections) and always seem to take too long after an election to disappear. He cited the portions of the state legal code (33.1-369) that apply here in Virginia, we think… […]
I just got back from a fundraiser for Sharon Pandak hosted by Beth and Bruce Roemmelt. Food was very good, the people were awesome, Sam (the Airedale Terrier) was his usual curious self, and Sharon spoke eloquently about the issues she expects the board of county supervisors will face. The Washington Post got it right; […]
Subject says it! Today was gorgeous. Cool, clear air, lots of sunshine, clean smell to the air. Perfect day to meet neighbors and do a little more bicycle canvassing for the Commonwealth Coalition’s Vote NO campaign on my recumbent. I went out early this afternoon and came in only when it got a bit dusk […]
