Dear Friends and Fellow Republicans
Lynchburg Democrats Will Try and Extend Their Terms This Week
As many of you may be aware, in the last General Assembly Session, the Democrats in majority in Richmond decided to move all elections in the Commonwealth that occurred in May to November. And this would start in 2022. This was proposed by a Democrat State Senator in Chesapeake, with the expressed intent of having more Democrats elected statewide. 2 of their target areas were Lynchburg and Staunton.
(This will be mildly complicated so work with me here)
Now the Lynchburg Democrats on the City Council have decided that this will not necessarily help them, so those Democrats who are up in November 2022 are going to vote tomorrow to extend their own terms by an additional year, from 2022 to 2023. Of course they cannot do this, it is blatantly illegal. But that's how leftists roll. They are banking on the fact that most people won't notice and try to sneak this through the back door.
This past weekend, I spoke at length with a former Member of the House of Delegates, who sat on the Cities and Town's Committee,who told me point blank that this is illegal. That the law passed only allowed for those who were up in May of 2022 and May of 2024 to sit through the November election of that year, and that does not allow for an additional year extension on their terms. The Lynchburg City Charter is clear on this - only 4 year terms are allowed. The City Council can petition the Legislature for an additional year extension - but they don't want to do things the legal way.
For those of you who live in Lynchburg, please contact your City Councilor here and tell them to STOP THE STEAL! Because this is literally what the Democrats on City Council are doing - stealing an additional year of being in power with the hope that you won't notice. You can find their contact information here: https://www.lynchburgva.gov/city-council
The Democrats on the Lynchburg City Council are saying that no vote will occur tomorrow, but do you really trust them?
A special thanks to Lynchburg City Councilman Chris Faraldi from Lynchburg Ward IV for all his hard work in bringing this to the forefront.
Oh and did I forget to mention that the liberals are trying to pass this at a worksession tomorrow - September 14, where no public comment will be allowed?
College Students Chant "F--- Joe Biden"
University students, who should be the biggest supporters of Democrats and Biden, are fed up with Mr. Biden, and have taken to chanting "F Joe Biden" at major University football games. Quite frankly I'd prefer they use slightly different language, but the fact is that they're sick of what Biden is doing to their country and they're sick of radical leftists taking over what is their country too.

One Pentagon Survivor of the 9 11 Attack
Ros Poplar is one of the most dedicated Republicans out there. Ros is a doer, not a talker. He's also a great friend and a heck of a good guy. Ros was at the Pentagon when it was struck on September 11, and this past weekend, the NV Daily interviewed Ros to ask about his experience.

Door Knocking for Glenn
This past weekend, I was out in Strasburg door knocking for Glenn Youngkin, the statewide ticket, and Todd Gilbert. Was amazing to see how fired up people are to take back their Virginia from the radical leftists who are trying to destroy the birthplace of freedom in the Western Hemisphere. I was talking with one Democrat who was telling me how angry he is at his own party, and will be voting for Glenn this time around. Saying that his party of which he has faithfully supported for many years has gone off the rails.
Thank you for allowing me to serve you as your Chair. Together we will take back Virginia
I remain
your servant
