News from the Herb Kemp for Delegate Campaign 22FEB13

HERB KEMP, Democratic candidate for Delegate from the 86th district. on sequestration and Virginia as well as the inability of the gop / tea-bagger (my description, not his) government in Richmond to deal realistically with the Commonwealth's budget, especially transportation, and taxes.

New Leadership for a New Virginia Slow Motion Train Wreck Virginia Republicans Using the Same Old Losing Playbook As the National GOP As I write this we find ourselves in a situation in which Republican intransigence of key financial issues threatens to damage our economy.  We’ve been watching the slow motion train wreck called sequestration unfold in DC and it looks increasingly likely that the sequester will ...

take effect on March 1st, with major Federal budget cuts rippling through the economy and causing major economic impact in Northern Virginia.  At the same time, as we look south to Richmond, the Transportation Bill remains undecided as the legislative session nears its ending.  Regardless of the final version that emerges, it is almost certain that the transportation bill will (1) fail to fully fund our transportation requirements, (2) fail to adequately address the transportation needs of Northern Virginia, and (3) draw some of its funding from the General Fund, which means taking money away from education. Help Get Herb's Name on the Primary Ballot We'll be at Panera Bread in Herndon on Sunday from noon to 2pm, collecting signatures to get Herb's name on the ballot. Bring a friend or family member who is a voter in the 86th District and sign the petition.  One problem is at the Federal level, the other is at the State level.  However, the problems share a common root cause: the refusal of the Republican Party to agree to raise the necessary revenue to address the needs of the people. This is both bad fiscal policy and bad business, and needs to be reversed.   In order to do that, we need to continue to work to build Democratic majorities in our state and federal legislatures.  Join me in this campaign to restore a Democratic majority in our legislature.  Help me get to Richmond to represent your interests. Let’s get the job done.   Donate and Volunteer
