Early Springtime Updates:

Yet Another Montgomery County Real Estate Tax Increase
Thanks to all the members who spoke wrote and called before the March 11 board of supervisors meeting. You know what a difference you made for everyone in the County.
 
Montgomery County is advertising to increase real estate taxes again this year. After the county’s ten year spending spree increasing county debt by 1000?? percent, another tax increase is unjustified. After the huge increase of the two previous years more and more families and businesses are having trouble making ends meet. Why should you have to cut back your budget and allow the (State and Federal governments and) county to increase its budget instead of working to do with less and work smarter. Let the board of supervisors know if you will not tolerate their fiscal policies and another tax increase. You have time to give them a clear message. Go to the Public Hearing on March 26th. Between now and the April 24 B.O.S. meeting to set the high tax rate call, visit and write them incessantly. You deserve Fiscal Sanity in the county government and especially the school system and it is time for you to make it happen.

National Heritage Area Designation – Victory for SWVA property rights

- Citizens from across southwest Virginia have defeated the National Heritage Area designation for the Crooked Road. It is documented and indisputable that the federal intrusion into our region would have diminished your property rights. When the Crooked Road withdrew their quest for the designation Congressman Morgan Griffith said “… I do not support any legislation that does not respect the private property rights of individuals”  
 
 If that is accurate we need to ask Congressman Morgan why he still supports the New River Valley Livability Initiative.

We bet you did not know that on March 11 less than two weeks before Congressman Morgan’s statement, the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors approved their resolution of support for the NHA.

2013 Virginia Elections
Thank to so many members who are active in the 2013 elections. So many plan to be delegates at the Republican state convention that this could be the largest such event. Without a question it will be in the national spotlight in the year before the critical 2014 congressional elections.

Montgomery County elections this year

                     School Board in A,C, and D

                     Supervisor.for District A
There are openings this year for both school board members and county supervisors.
Finding new candidates for both are vital in reversing the downward trend in public education
and in fiscal imbalance we experience in this county. Please locate encourage and support
new candidates for these positions.

We will all have to try to clean up our own areas of the state. Goochland County is leading the way. They elected new people to their BOS. Now all grants must be approved by the Board who will research and investigate the strings attached before any grant money is approved.

New River Valley Livability Initiative -

THE NRVLI could be an even greater threat to your freedom in NRV if it is fully implemented. The Boards of Supervisors of the four counties and independent town in the New River Valley Planning District fail to oppose and continue to support the initiative which will impose extensive additional federal regulations to supersede local control of local resources including natural resources AND your private property. You must learn all you can about this controversial program which comes straight from the depths of Agenda 21. Your county friends and neighbors and your supervisors and town counsel need to hear from you loud and clear. For information contact any of the southwest Virginia Tea Parties or visit the web sites supporting and OPPOSING the grants and Agenda 21. More will be posted soon.
  
NRV Tea Party volunteers
With so much action at this time our volunteers are busy on many fronts and may fall behind with events caledars and web site.
If we are going to keep our newsletters website and meeting schedules, and keep them up to date we must have some help. If you have just a few hours per month to help our organization can make a greater presence and accomplish more. We welcome your input to what we do. If you can share your ideas by meeting once a month please consider joining our planning committee. To ask and learn more contact us at NRVTEAPARY@gmail.com

Received from a member and worthy of your attention: Patriots, Snap out of it! America Too Extraordinarily Precious to Surrender!

Patriots, Snap out of it! America Too Extraordinarily Precious to Surrender!

My late Mama instructed, “Never put your business in the street”. Due to the extremely serious situation in which we find our country today, I must share my personal testimony (put my business in the street) to save America.

In 1993, I quit my 15 year position at an ABC affiliate TV station in Baltimore to pursue a new career in music. At that time, callers on the Rush Limbaugh show were losing their jobs to down-sizing. Rush encouraged them to view it as an opportunity to pursue their dreams. Inspired and with Mary’s blessings, I quit my position, despite being in line for department head.

In short, Mary and I lost everything – home, cars and savings. On numerous occasions, we were financially down-for-the-count with no hope in sight. Every time, God came to our rescue with just enough to keep us going. During our several years “wilderness experience”, Mary and I grew in character, wisdom and gratitude. But most of all, we learned to trust God.

So while I am in solidarity with the frustration of fellow patriots across America regarding the reelection of Obama, the surrender of the Republicans, the transformation of what it means to be an American and the deterioration of our culture, I MUST continue fighting to restore/take back America!

I can not and will not join in your hopelessness and surrender.

My firm resolve and optimism are rooted in the Word of God. Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

I can not tune out the news and allow an evil Godless liberal Administration and mainstream media to treat the Constitution like toilet paper and ravish our culture. Edmund Burke said, “The only thing needed for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing.”

Patriots, along with myself, you are good men and women whom God has prepared for such a time as this – to save America. You fought valiantly over the past four years. I totally understand and share your disappointment, anger and sadness for our country.

However, sticking your heads in the sand, is not the answer. For me to do so would feel like me telling God, “I no longer trust You. Thus, I will not continue the mission you called me to fulfill.”For me, such a decision is impossible.

I am Chairman of a new PAC, Conservative Campaign Committee, to fight back with TV ads and etc.

Brother and sister patriots, come back – get back into the battle. America is too extraordinarily precious to do otherwise. We can not simply allow them to “have it”!

Lloyd Marcus, Proud Unhyphenated American

Chairman, Conservative Campaign Committee

Montgomery County Commonwealth’s Attorney – Election

Please review and share with your contacts in Montgomery County – the following information on the MC Commonwealth’s Attorney debate and election.

———- Forwarded message from Mary———-
Thank you ladies for all of the help knocking on doors on Saturday. Between your efforts and mine, I think we covered about 500 households!

Debate – I would appreciate it if everyone would write a short e-mail to their friends with the link to the debate and a note encouraging them to watch even just 10 minutes of it. The controversial part starts at minute 44 but any 10 minute segment will be informative.

Here is a suggested e-mail:

Montgomery County has an important special election this fall for Commonwealth’s Attorney. I encourage you to watch even 10 min of the debate between the two candidates. The controversial part starts at minute 44 but I challenge you to watch any 10 min section.

Mary Pettitt says:

Clear communication. Advocacy. Thinking on your feet. All are essential skills for a Commonwealth’s Attorney. An officer calling from a crime scene needs an answer now. A witness, no matter their background, expects you to understand what they have to say and to help them make the judge or jury understand. The victim relies on you to argue for justice when a crime has been committed. The public deserves a Commonwealth’s Attorney that can speak intelligently with them about issues in the community such as manufacturing methamphetamine, gangs, or sovereign citizens. Judge for yourself how effectively the candidates communicate, advocate and think on their feet. I’m confident you’ll find that Mary Pettitt is the Commonwealth’s Attorney you’d want representing you in court!

Sad Day for America

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:June 28, 2012   Contact: Angela Melvin
Communications Director
(202) 731-1778

Rep. West Statement on the United States Supreme Court Healthcare Ruling
(WASHINGTON)–- Congressman Allen West (R-FL) released this statement today after the United States Supreme Court announced it has ruled to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act:
“The United States Supreme Court has ruled to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act by extending the power of the United States Congress to tax Americans’ behavior. This is a sad day for Americans, as they will be taxed to pay for benefits they may not need or want as part of the insurance they are forced to buy. With this decision, Congress has been granted infinite taxation power, and there are no longer any limits on what the federal government can tax its citizens to do.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will hit the middle class especially hard, as hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost as businesses try to avoid the penalties and costs created by the healthcare law. The healthcare law will cost trillions of dollars, raise costs for employers and create huge incentives for them to drop health insurance.
Benjamin Franklin did indeed state, ‘In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.’ However, Dr. Franklin never envisioned the federal government would use its power of taxation to punish people for not purchasing health care. Today, individual sovereignty in America has been defeated.”
