Add your name: Reject hate, discrimination and white supremacist violence. VIRGINIA ATTORNEY GENERAL MARK HERRING.

Dear David,

My friend, and our incredible U.S. senator, Tim Kaine, has dedicated his life to building a more fair, just and equal Commonwealth, where each of us has an opportunity to fulfill our God-given potential.

He’s running for re-election as our U.S. senator, and he needs our support – and I’m all-in to help him get re-elected in November. But this month, he’s taking time off from asking for donations to ask all of us to stand for something even more important – equality, justice and opportunity for all Virginians, no matter what you look like, where you come from, how you worship or who you love.

Tim is looking for 100,000 of us to join him in taking a stand against hate, discrimination and bigotry. Will you stand with Tim and me?

Add your name to stand against bigotry!

In Virginia, we know all too well that dark forces of hate and discrimination are feeling emboldened. The violence last year in Charlottesville was a stark reminder that we still have more work to do, and it starts with taking a clear, unequivocal stand against hate.

As your Attorney General, I’m working every single day to combat white supremacist violence. And as our senator, Tim has been a clear and principled voice for the values that we hold dear.

Let’s all add our voice to the growing chorus that rejects hate, discrimination and white supremacist violence.

Sign the Pledge

Thank you for taking a stand,
Mark

FEATURE ARTICLES. WHAT PROGRESSIVES MUST LEARN: STAND TOGETHER, OR FALL APART.

There is one thing, probably more than anything else, that has held Back Progressives from Achieving Electoral Success on a Regular Basis. Care to Guess?  It is an Internal, Self- Inflicted Mindset that Conservatives, especially Tea Party Candidates, have used on a regular basis.

IT IS THE FAILURE OF PROGRESSIVES AND LIBERALS TO STAND TOGETHER.  TO OFTEN, GROUPS THAT PROCLAIM THEMSELVES AS PROGRESSIVE, EXIST AS ONE OR TWO ISSUE GROUPS.  THE REASONING THAT LED TO CREATING AND ORGANIZING OTHER LIKE- MINDED INDIVIDUALS TO PASS LEGISLATION AND ELECT SYMPATHETIC CANDIDATES, IS NOT CARRIED OVER INTO OTHER AREAS.

It is Astonishing to Listen to a "PROGRESSIVE VOTER", Who sees an Injustice and Wants to Affect a Change in the Law to Remedy this Iniquity, Refusing to use the Same Thought Process if it Deals with an Issue That Doesn't Appeal to Them Directly.

Unfortunately, this Lack of a Consistent Line of Moral Guidelines that are NOT UNIVERSAL IN NATURE, SETS PROGRESSIVES AGAINST ONE ANOTHER, AND BREEDS RESENTMENT THAT LEADS TO ELECTORAL FAILURE.

I have heard the Argument that concludes with the-  "...their not all the same. Social , Economic, and Other Domestic Agenda Issues Deal with Different Problems, and Need Different Solutions."

That may be, but it Doesn't Explain or Solve the UNDERLYING PROBLEM THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON; INEQUALITY UNDER THE LAW, WHETHER IT IS...

-  UNFAIR LABOR OR WAGE PRACTICES.

-  ELIGIBILITY AND AVAILABILITY FOR 

GOVERNMENT FUNDS TO ADDRESS HARDSHIP,

IN ALL ITS FORMS.

-   FAIR TREATMENT GIVEN TO ALL COMPETENT

ADULTS REGARDING MARRIAGE LAW.

-  ENSURING EQUAL TREATMENT IN A COURT OF 

LAW, WHERE THE SIZE OF YOUR WALLET DOESN'T 

= THE AMOUNT OF JUSTICE YOU'LL RECEIVE.

...MEANS THAT ONE PERSON IS GIVEN AN ADVANTAGE, HELPING HAND, 

OR JUST AN OPEN DOOR, THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS NOT.

WHO IS THE WINNER WHEN THIS HAPPENS?  

PETITION: Remove NRA meddling in campaigns. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE JENNIFER WEXTON.

David,

We cannot continue to allow the NRA to control our representatives and legislation. I know this. You know this. So many responsible, gun-owning Americans know this. Unfortunately, it’s on us to tell Congress.

Please join me in sending Barbara Comstock a clear message: Get the NRA out of the business of buying elections.

Add your name to let Barbara Comstock know where you stand.

Collectively, we have the power to end this NRA puppeteering of Washington. We’ve seen Barbara change her position on issues when we build up enough support.

I am asking for your signature today because, with our help, we can let Barbara know where we stand on getting NRA money out of this congressional race. Let’s get Barbara to return her gun lobby donations and let’s make sure she runs an honest campaign.

Sign the Petition

Your signatures and support might feel small, but each one is a step forward.

Thanks for all you do,
Jennifer
