Jim Bowden for Congress ... on illegal immigration
Jim Bowden for Congress -- the issues:
Illegal Immigration: Close the borders to ILLEGAL ALIENS now. No excuses. No delays. Bowden will work for the proper funding for the full enforcement of the laws already on the books. He supports amendments to fix the worst parts of the 1986 Immigration law. He favors restrictions on immigration from Terrorist-producing countries. Bowden advocates a large, healthy LEGAL immigration of over a million persons a year – especially to re-unite families. Deport criminal illegal aliens first.

Jim Bowden for Congress ... his biography
James Atticus Bowden will be 57 on November 18th. He was born in Lawton, OK, in 1950. He has been married to the former Katherine Kyle of Beckley, WV, for over 32 years. They have two daughters, one son and one son-in-law, one granddaughter and twin grandchildren in the womb. They have resided in Poquoson since 1989.
Jim earned a competitive Presidential appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point for the Class of 1974. He was commissioned as an Infantry Officer. He served in five combat divisions as an Airborne, Ranger-qualified officer and retired after 20 years in service. He has been a defense consultant ever since.
Jim earned a Masters of Public Administration from the JFK School of Government, Harvard University in 1981. He taught American Government, Public Administration, and Research and Methodology for the Social Science courses for 3 years in the Department of Social Sciences, United States Military Academy. He was an Army officer graduate of the United States Marine Corps Command and Staff College at Quantico, VA, in 1985. He earned a Masters in Philosophy of Political Science at Columbia University in 1985. Bowden taught one semester, “Politics of the Cold War,” as adjunct faculty in the Government Department at the College of William and Mary in 1993.
Jim joined the Republican Party the week he retired from active duty. He was the chairman of the Poquoson City Committee 1997-2004. He was elected at competitive conventions, like the one on November 10th, to the State Central Committee, RPV in 2002 and re-elected in 2004. Jim has contributed to 7 local elections where his side was outspent and still won – contrary to all political wisdom – when the odds were 2:1, 3:1, 5:1. 10:1 and 40:1. He has helped win every local election where he had an active role.
He served as the First Vice-Chairman of the First District until Russ Moulton, the former Chairman, resigned. Russ asked him to step up. Congresswoman Davis took the unusual act of endorsing Bowden in public. Jim was elected the Chairman, First District Committee, RPV on September 21st. He resigned this position to avoid the appearance of any conflict of interest in this nomination process to select our Republican candidate.
Jim has been involved in community affairs in many aspects – often as a grassroots activist.
Jim writes an op ed column for the Yorktown Crier/Poquoson Post. He contributes to the premier policy web site and ezine in Virginia, "Bacon’s Rebellion." He was a local columnist at the request of the Daily Press. He has a web site and blogs at Deo Vindice. His first novel, Rosetta 6.2, was published in 2007. Many websites carry his op eds regularly. National sites, like Newsmax.com and PatriotPost.us, carry him on occasion.
Jim is a member and Sunday School teacher of Emmaus Baptist Church in Poquoson.

Jim Bowden for 1st District Congressman
James Atticus Bowden ... his life is public service. Duty, honor, country serving as a soldier in the U.S. Army. Family, community and Commonwealth as a civilian. He is a candidate for the 1st District Congressional seat ... check out this video to hear his story in his own words.
If you live in the 1st District please consider being a delegate for Jim on Saturday, November 10, at Caroline County (Bowling Green). Check his website for info and to donate to his campaign.
This election, if it’s decided by a grassfire of Virginia voters, more than grassroots manipulation will be by the People and for the People. Not the politicians. Not the consultants. Not the special interests. Not the money and power people. Not the activist king makers. This is a chance for someone who talks the talk and walks the walk to represent all the people.
If you want to help Jim earn the Republican nomination for Congress on November 10th, please send an email with your name, address, best telephone and email to Jim Bowden.

Bolling dismisses 1st District Congressional seat....
STATEMENT OF LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BILL BOLLING ON FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT VACANCY
RICHMOND - Recent media and blog articles have reported that Lieutenant Governor Bolling may be considering a possible candidacy for the United States Congress in the First Congressional District. Given these reports, Lieutenant Governor Bolling has issued the following statement:
“Over the past several days, I have received a great deal of encouragement from business and political leaders throughout Virginia and in Washington, DC to consider running for the United States House of Representatives in the First Congressional District. I am deeply flattered by their belief that I would make a good Congressman and serving in the United States Congress would be a tremendous honor.
“However, as Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and as President of the Senate of Virginia, my full attention is currently directed toward the upcoming General Assembly elections and doing everything I can to make certain that we retain our Republican majorities in the State Senate. Given the importance of the position I currently hold at this critical time in Virginia history, it would not be appropriate for me to consider running for any other political office.
“I am confident that the people of the First Congressional District will find a suitable candidate to replace Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis, who did an outstanding job representing the First District in Congress. My thoughts and prayers continue to be offered for Jo Ann’s husband, Chuck, and their sons. I wish them all the best during this difficult time in their lives.”
