The Road Ahead

April 21, 2005

Sorry for the lapse of posts. As many of you know, I'm working on a Virginia House of Delegates race to elect Bruce Roemmelt. Our opponent is one of our commonwealth's most radical Delegates who's solution to just about everything is a platform of divisive social issues.

This summer, our opponent isn't spending his time trying to get on committees dealing with important issue like transportation. His plate is much too full trying to figure out the best way to strip Virginia spouses of their right to make medical decisions for their dying loved one. That's what the 13th District of Virginia has in Richmond, and it's time for a change.

Starting on April 28, the Outlet Wire will go on hiatus through the November elections. This is the news feed you see to the left (on the right on outletRadio.com). The morning hours are starting to fill up with what it takes to win. I will probably be blogging less and less here as I blog more and more at www.Bruce2005.org. I hope each of you interested in my posts here on the political realities we face in our great nation will follow our campaign there.

This is what it takes to wake up our country and stir America's common sense of fairness. As a reader, you've followed with me a narrative of political forces that are more concerned with bankrupting American Democracy on every level. You've read how radical forces within the Republican Party's base are attacking their own party's moderate leaders and thwarting their efforts to do what is right for their party and our country. You've read how our opponent in the 13th District literally called me a "Sodomite" rather than discuss legislation that affects the rights of his constituents. You've read how these same radical forces elected George Bush as President more for his position on "moral values" than they did for the issues that really matter: jobs, the economy and the war on terror. Some of those "moral values" include letting the paragon of morality for the Republican Party's chosen House leadership, Tom DeLay, make the medical decisions for your spouse rather than you. Like Tom DeLay, our opponent likes that idea a lot.

It's time each and everyone of us take these threats on our democracy and commonsense seriously. On a local level, I want to see our commonwealth's most radical Republican Delegate, who has become weak and ineffective as he's lost favor even with his own party, be replaced with the commonwealth's common sense I hear in Bruce Roemmelt. But I cannot do it without your help. I need everyone who has enjoyed this blog over the years to think about what you can do to help us. Join the discussion on www.Bruce2005.org. Contribute. Tell your friends to follow our campaign.

If you can give $10 a month until November, please click here, scroll to the bottom of the page and become a sustaining donor. if you can afford a lump sum, click here and give. Join our campaign. Tell your friends you've stepped up to the plate to focus on a race in Virginia to challenge the subversion our nation's Democratic balance of power by radical political forces.

The battle for our country's founding values and principles is here, and it's local. In Virginia, it's a battle for the commonwealth's largest district, the 13th District. Join us, and stand with America's commonsense. Stand up for the commonwealth!
