[Ed: The fight for our rights is coming to a peak in Richmond. Monday January 20 is going to be the end of the beginning, and far from beginning of the end. To all who will be there—Thank you!

tried to revive his career
with a slate of “gun control” bills
that would do nothing to relieve
the atrocities they claim to address.
The Republican assembly
dismissed these in Special Session
after the Democrats
refused to consider crime or mental health.
Seeing an opportunity,
Billionaire Bloomberg bought the mid-term election
and the Democrats brought back all those bills, and more.
They changed the rules about guns
and falsely blamed the police.
But the NRA attracted 1000 gun owners
To lobby their legislators nonetheless;
triggered the confiscationists.
Afraid that the VCDL rally
might dwarf the NRA event,
the Governor illegally deemed the Capitol grounds a “shelter”,
and used emergency powers he doesn’t have to ban guns.
He associated innocent rhetoric
with Charlottesville rhetoric,
and deemed a peaceful gathering,
not even a protest, but an “emergency”.
All the while he and his cronies
threatened confiscation, the National Guard, and the US Military.
He accused VCDL of “unleashing”
something it could not control,
when in fact he unleashed
previously silent patriots
who put facts and rights
above emotions and tyranny.

Virginia welcomes all who come in peace to show the Virginia General Assembly that there is no place for Bloomberg’s and the Democrats’ anti-Constitutional infringement and confiscation agenda in Virginia, nor will its spread to other states be tolerated. Come if you can, donate as you can, and stay vigilant about the state of your inalienable rights wherever you live.
