With the recent momentum of the April 15th Tea Parties, there are several occurring within Virginia. The most recent updated list can be found here.
There will be one held here in Northern Virginia at the Merrifield Post Office on April 15th from 5-7 p.m. You can find more information at the Northern Virginia Tea Party website. This will not only give you a chance to go to the DC Tea Party, but it will allow you to make a mark on your own community. Additionally, I am trying to line up an interview with the organizers of both the DC Tea Party and Northern Virginia Tea Party that will appear this week.
I will be covering both of these events for both CCC and Virginia News Platoon. Keep a look out on my YouTube Channel for video of these events.
I am happy that so many are speaking out for less government. I hope that we can choose future leaders who will replace our government-welfare cronies with geniune reformers who appreciate rights and free markets.
This is not a blog I enjoy writing, most blogs I have written I truly enjoyed doing. This is a sad story of the sad state of affairs that our politicians are presenting to us. Bob McDonnell who is running for Governor of the State of Virginia and who was the Attorney General before, and Senator Ken Cuccinelli of Fairfax Virginia who is running for Attorney General of Virginia, and Bill Bolling who is the Lt. Governor of Virginia have all three kicked Catherine Crabill under the Republican bus, I can only imagine that Catherine Crabill. now knows how Sarah Palin feels. These three politicians stated to the Washington Post that they have disavowed themselves from Catherine Crabill, a mom who is running for the 99th District of Virginias Delegate seat on the Republican ticket.
I went to a Town Hall like forum in Warsaw Virginia today and Lt. Governor Bolling was there, I was amazed at how these politicians continue to feed us rhetoric that has gotten them in this mess. Mr. Bolling talked on how he and Bob McDonnell want to bring jobs to the Northern Neck, and then cannot answer simple questions on how the State and the Counties are hurting businesses with all of their red tape and bureaucracy that they create on permits. Business is thwarted on signage and taxes, and he had no real answers there, this man is just sucking us dry by using our tax dollars to pay him. Then he has the gall to defend his actions of disavowing himself from Catherine Crabill who is running for Delegate in the 99th District. When I asked him if he wanted the Democrat Pollard to win he stated he stood by his statement to the Washington Post, I pressed him again for an answer on Pollard and again he stated he stood on his position with the Washington Post, which tells me that this RHINO wants the Democrat to win.
I urge all Tea Party members to find people to run for office, the time of voting for the lesser of two evils has to stop. How can we gain control of Washington and our State government if we keep electing career politicians to office? We need to end Bob McDonnell’s career and Ken Cuccinelli’s career and Bill Bolling’s career, after this election. This should be the last time any of them get elected to any public office, they do not believe that we have the power to vote them out; if they did they would not have disavowed themselves from a Tea Party member who is running for office. Catherine Crabill made some bold statements, but she was not trying to incite people to take up arms, like they are saying. It is funny how an angry mom running for office, which cannot be bought by special interest groups and will not play the political game the Party wants her to play, is being trashed for a statement made at a Tea Party rally. When we have people like Conyers saying things like they expect us to read the bills before we vote on them, and Pelosi calling us Nazis, Reid calling us evil mongers, what is going on? Instead of disavowing Catherine Crabill, why are they not asking why Congress is not investigating people like Conyers who admit that he doesn’t read the bills before he votes on them?
The Republican Party is spineless and we need to take it back, so I am urging all Tea Party members to think about running for office, and look for leaders in your community, your church and your social organizations, we need integrity back in the offices that serve us. We need to clean house on both sides of the table.
Jim – For those of us not in the loop, can you fill us in on Catherine Crabill? Who is she and what happened?

Catherine made a statement at a Tea Party rally which was something to the effect of if we have a chance to fight this battle at the ballot box before we have to resort to the bullet box. She was refering to the founding fathers had no ballot box to use, she was not implying that we take up arms. You can see the whole video on her web site at http://www.catherinecrabill.com
