NORTON META TAG

TELL YOUR DELEGATE IN RICHMOND TO VOTE NO ON THE REDISTRICTING PLAN NOW, VOTE SCHEDULED FOR TODAY 31JAN13

THE Virginia House of Delegates is voting on the illegal Virginia Congressional redistricting plan passed by the VA Senate on 21 JAN. The Bold Progressive community is asking all to call their delegates in Richmond to tell them to vote against this bill and to call gov mcdonnell and tell him to veto it if it is passed. If you can't call (click the link for the phone numbers) please e mail your delegate http://conview.state.va.us/whosmy.nsf/VGAMain?openform and the governor http://www.governor.virginia.gov/aboutthegovernor/contactgovernor.cfm  From the PCCC / Progressive Change Campaign Committee....


Victory! Thanks to huge outrage from Virginia voters, the bill to rig elections was defeated in committee. By stopping this law, we sent a clear message to other states that voters will not stand for rigged elections.
Unfortunately, that bill isn't the only challenge to voter freedom in Virginia. Today, the House of Delegates will vote on a redistricting plan heavily favoring Republicans that went through without warning, without public comment, and almost without debate.
You defeated rigged elections and you can defeat this too. Click here to call Governor McDonnell and your delegate. 
While Democratic state Senator Henry L. Marsh III attended the inauguration, Senate Republicans rammed through a new redistricting plan that strengthens their districts and weakens many held by Democrats. It was a clear power grab that took advantage of Sen. Marsh's absence to pass the bill along party lines.
Can you call Governor McDonnell and your delegate? Click here and tell them to stand against this unconstitutional bill.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
