So, each year on Martin Luther King Day, let us not only recall Dr. King, but rededicate ourselves to the Commandments he believed in and sought to live every day: Thou shall love thy God with all thy heart, and thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. And I just have to believe that all of us-if all of us, young and old, Republicans and Democrats, do all we can to live up to those Commandments, then we will see the day when Dr. King’s dream comes true, and in his words, “All of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning, ‘… land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.’”

Tomorrow is President Obama’s State of the Union Address. In it, he is expected outline multiple big government, programs as well as new tax increases. Be sure to take to social media and explain why his liberal agenda is a bad idea for America.

It’s a worn out saying, but “Virginia is for lovers of elections.” We have them every year. Every seat in the Virginia House and Senate will be filled by voters in November. In the 8th District we will have elections for local offices as well.

If you are interested in running for office, please contact your local GOP Chairman.

Check out our upcoming events. If you can make it out on Saturday to send off retiring RPV Chairman Pat Mullins, I would love to see you there.
