I endorse George Allen for U.S. Senate

I am proud to publicly endorse and support former Virginia Governor George Allen for U.S. Senate along with many of my State Central colleagues. These follow endorsements by Governor Bob McDonnell, Lt. Governor Bill Bolling, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Speaker Bill Howell, and many, many others. Like them, I appreciate what Allen accomplished in the past and want to see that leadership back in the U.S. Senate.

The press release:

Today, additional local Republican leaders from throughout Virginia joined many other legislators, grassroots activists, tea party members and community leaders in announcing their support of George Allen for U.S. Senate because of his long track record of strong, conservative leadership and proven pro-growth policies that helped Virginia businesses create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

“George Allen’s long record of conservative leadership in Virginia proves that he is the strongest candidate for U.S. Senate in 2012,” said Becky Stoeckel, 11th Congressional District Chairman from Fairfax City. “He knows that what we need to right our economic ship is a less intrusive, more efficient government that allows businesses to grow and thrive and create jobs. He will take his common-sense conservative values back to Washington and work to stop the out of control spending that has so damaged our economy and our quality of life. I could not be more happy to offer George Allen and his campaign for U.S. Senate my enthusiastic endorsement.”

“Governor Allen knows the people of the Commonwealth, particularly the people in the Northern Neck,” said Allen Webb, State Central Committee Member from King George. “I strongly believe that he understands our values and principles and will represent us well in the U.S. Senate. I am proud to offer my enthusiastic endorsement of his campaign for the United States Senate.”

Chesapeake State Central Committee Member Irene Hurst said, “George Allen was an outstanding Governor and the Commonwealth prospered under his leadership. Virginia needs his leadership again in Washington and I am proud to endorse his candidacy for United States Senate.”

Here is a list of additional Republican Committee members and unit chairs who endorsed George Allen in October.

Here are the latest endorsements from State Central members and Unit Chairs:

Allen Webb, State Central Committee Member, 99th Legislative District Chair, 28th Senate District Chair, King George

Clergy announce support for George Allen for U.S. Senate

Clergy from throughout Virginia announced their support for George Allen for U.S. Senate, citing his strong commitment to family values, protecting life, personal liberty, and creating jobs for Americans who are hurting right now. 

“I enthusiastically endorse my friend Governor George Allen for election to the U.S. Senate in 2012.  He is a statesman who cares deeply for the Commonwealth of Virginia and its citizens.  I am thoroughly convinced that George Allen can make a difference in this perilous time.” - Reverend Peter Way, Scottsville

“We need a strong pro-life advocate who is willing to protect the rights of the unborn; a seasoned leader who understands the impact of failed policies that have plundered our urban communities. Governor Allen has always been a friend to the black community and he will fight for the communities of faith and communities of color. George Allen will make a great U.S. Senator.” - Reverend Dean Nelson, Vice-Chair, Frederick Douglas Foundation

“It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I am supporting Governor George Allen for the U. S. Senate.  His support for issues of Faith is of great value to the Commonwealth and the Faith Community.  Whether his support of the Federal Marriage Amendment in the Senate or signing a strong Parental Notification law as Governor, George Allen has stood strong on family values and issues concerning people of Faith in Virginia.” - Dr. Allen McFarland, Portsmouth

RPV thanks Mike Thomas

Alec Thomas, 18, with his dad, Mike Thomas
at last summer's Chesterfield Veterans Appreciation Picnic.

As he had done on previous occasions, RPV 1st Vice Chairman Mike Thomas found himself at the helm of the Party on April 4 after the vote to remove former chairman Jeff Frederick.

Saturday he was thanked for his unselfish service to the Party with a standing ovation from State Central Committee members after 10th District Chair Jim Rich paid tribute by announcing Republicans were grateful to Mr. Thomas ... and the lingering standing ovation showed the amount of respect for the man.

Saying that enthusiasm is building in the GOP, Mike announced that over 10,000 delegates had signed up for the Republican Convention to be held at the Richmond Coliseum May 29-30, finances were improving, and humbly said that what the grassroots leaders did was far more important and difficult than anything he had done.

That was gracious ... and untrue. If not for Mike's steadying hand, the past month would have been tumultuous. Thank you, Mike Thomas, for your service to the Party.

New RPV chair Pat Mullins ... "RPV is moving forward"

Pat Mullins

Pat Mullins was at the front door of RPV headquarters Saturday morning greeting folks as they arrived from all corners of the state for the State Central Committee meeting in Richmond. Two hours later he was easily voted in as the new chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia.

Kathy Hayden Terry of the 6th Congressional District and National Committeewoman, nominated Mr. Mullins, saying he was a strong social and fiscal conservative who could bring all the factions together within the Party.

Gary Byler, 2nd Congressional District Chair, seconded the motion which was important because he was a Jeff Frederick supporter.

Becky Stoeckel, 11th Congressional District Chair, also seconded the motion saying that she had first met Pat in the 1990s when she was but a mere "seedling of the grassroots" ... and that she considered him to be a mentor.

After his election, Chairman Mullins received a standing ovation from the body and then addressed them, saying there were five things he wanted to accomplish:

1) Raise money;
2) Elections are critical -- we must win;
3) Ethnic outreach;
4) Unity of the Party;
5) Rebuild the grassroots.

There was a positive air within the SCC ranks after the election as they looked forward to continuing to working hard to accomplish those five goals to rebuild the Party, win the upcoming elections, and turn Virginia back to Republican red.

Congratulations, Pat Mullins! We look forward to working with you in the months (and years) ahead.

Augusta GOP officers resign in protest of 56 purged members

As many know, I have been very concerned about the actions of Augusta County Republican Committee Chairman Bill Shirley in illegally kicking off 56 members of the committee, and have tried a variety of avenues to resolve this issue. Now long-time volunteers who are friends, neighbors, and solid Republicans have been purged.

I am sad to say that at our last committee meeting on Tuesday, April 21, 2009, Chairman Bill Shirley would not allow anyone to speak to the issue even to the extend that he refused to recognize RPV Acting Chairman Mike Thomas who had driven up from Richmond, and did not even acknowledge Mr. Thomas' presence at the start of the meeting.

Committee members tried to speak but Bill Shirley threatened them with a Sergeant of Arms and a local deputy, a tactic that has become all too familiar to intimidate and shut down discussion. This kind of harassment is not how Republicans act.

In solidarity with the 56 members who were removed from the committee, I will stand with them and, in protest of their dismissal, have formally resigned from the Augusta County Republican Committee along with the majority of the Executive Committee who left for the same reason.

I apologize to RPV Acting Chairman Mike Thomas for his poor treatment, and to the 56 purged volunteers who have been there for us throughout the years.

It is a sad day to realize that the Party that was so vibrant and strong in Augusta County has fallen to such depths with no hope of the majority of the banished 56 returning anytime soon. My conscience will not allow me to associate with the type of behavior displayed by Bill Shirley and others. I will help the GOP in other more productive ways rather than fight members of the Party.

It is said that Virginians traditionally have a sense of civility in politics ... but we seem to have lost that in the Augusta County Republican Party under the chairmanship of Bill Shirley.

What A Mess In Augusta County

By Loudoun Insider Purges, RINO Hunting, etc.  Sound familiar?  The Augusta County Republican Committee sounds like a total trainwreck, with the Frederick types taking over.  SWAC Girl has a rundown with lots of links.

  Apparently there are two sides to this, even in the blogosphere. Personally, I always come down on the side of inclusion, not exclusion.
  I can’t speak expertly to the legality of the explusions, or the procedure that was done to execute them, but I do question those who are standing behind it (like Spank That Donkey, a noted Frederick supporter) what they gain by purging their rolls? Especially in the case of many members who may have missed three County meetings but by all accounts attended other party functions and have been hard-working volunteers.

  I could see the legitimacy of this if there were three regularly scheduled meetings. From what I’ve read some of these meetings were called on short notice at odd times to set up this purge.
  This is entirely symptomatic of the Puritan wing – they want to cast out any who do not fall in lock step with their version of “conservative principles”. Soon they’ll have a monolithic cabal running the show any of which couldn’t get elected dog catcher. But, to paraphrase the Protic Principle, at least they’ll be “pure”. A sure recipe for electoral failure, no matter how pure they may think they may be.

  though i was never chairperson of a large county, we were able to craft a cohesive group of individuals with very diverse reasons for being Republican in a small county.
  why is this such a damn problem?
  and mike thomas has more campaign sense in his little finger than most will ever have in their entire body.

  LI, even if it is legitimate, my question still stands: what do you gain by kicking out 56 people?

  April 24, 2009 at 7:59 AM

  Absolutely nothing, VAB. I hope you didn’t get the impression I was for this purge. it is an incredibly stupid move. brought to you by the Frederick Fanatics and their style of Puritanism.
  Mike Thomas drove all the way out there to try to mediate this mess and was refused an opportunity to speak. Nice.

  It’s clear to me that the village idiot down there thinks that he can bump Frederick’s numbers by trying to purge the delegates as well. Thankfully, he got called on that part–and they were reinstated.
  Unfortunately–watching from the outside…and remembering our very own struggle here- makes me reflective. Glen Caroline is in charge here in Loudoun, and I think I appreciate him all the much more because I’ve seen just how bad a unit can go with the wrong leadership.
  So, looking at Augusta’s disenfranchised members…the sun will come out, and you will be included, because the jag-off who thinks he’s in charge down there is probably near the top of the list of first order of business on a new RPV Chairman’s gavel….not to mention the Congressional District Chair’s last nerve.

  If you read my post that the Vice Chairs of Communications and the Vice Chair of Precincts resigned. You might ask Spank the Donkey and Rightside Va who got those 2 posts.
  I am not saying that they did not have a totally different motivation in their support. I am sure they felt that they were doing the right thing, but you can ask them that question.

  So much for Jeff Frederick’s claims, and those of his people, that they represent the grassroots. It sounds more like they consider those grassroots to be a threat to them.
  Frederick is proving more and more that he is the ideal poster boy for what’s wrong with the Republican Party.

  I have never understood the meetings requirements for the Republican Committees. For anyone who works, goes to school, or isn’t retired, making a monthly meeting isn’t always possible, and I don’t know many Republicans who would be willing to go on my behalf who aren’t already members.
  If I were cynical, I’d say that the primary reason for the rule is to enable purges like this – not to control party purity, but simply to require those who want to participate to pay the fee over and over again as a means of raising funds. Otherwise, I can’t see the benefit of removing people when the Committees are rarely, if ever, 100% full.

RPV faithful depart from Homestead

In late afternoon as my family sat in the Great Hall we saw Jeff and Amy Frederick on their way to the front desk to check out and head home. They stopped to say hello and chatted a few minutes before leaving. Another Advance has been filed away.

Live blogging ... part 2

Shaun is typing like crazy and Jason is twittering....

As Governor Gilmore continues to speak, the room continues to fill with people. His message on "Drill Here, Drill Now" is still of importance, and his remarks on the Card Check issue brought applause from the audience.

Sen. Ken Cuccinelli is greeting at the back of the room ... he just walked over to say hello and mentioned that me met my mother last night. What a memory.

Gov. Gilmore is going to restart a PAC and that brought applause from the crowd. His campaign acquired 10,000 donors, large and small ... they know those folks will be there for Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling, and our AG candidate.

Just met Ford O'Connell who was with the McCain campaign ... we exchanged business cards.

The debate is about to begin ... RPV Chair Jeff Frederick is laying out the rules for everyone. There will be a straw poll later today for AG.

Republican Advance ... Day 1

It is a sunny day here in Hot Springs, Virginia, as Republicans from all over the Commonwealth arrive for the 25th annual Republican Advance. Some arrived yesterday and others have been seen today ... RPV Chair Jeff Frederick and his wife Amy and new baby, AFP's Ben Marchi, Trixie Averill, Kathy Terry, Matt Wells....

Registration has begun and will run until 8 pm. State Central's Executive Committee meets this afternoon followed by the State Central Committee meeting at 5 pm. Afterwards, various meetings, dinners, and receptions will be going on late into the night.

I am heading to the Great Hall to try and find bloggers....
