This is from the Republican Liberty Caucus.

"On January 21, 2013, RLC-Virginia activists will converge on the Capitol in Richmond and work to educate Senators and Delegates on issues important to the liberty movement, and our stances on particular legislation. There will be a break for lunch at the Tobacco Company at 1:00.

This is the perfect opportunity to not only meet and build familiarity with your legislators, but also learn how the legislative process works by observing committee hearings and visiting members' personal offices."

Mark your calenders if you are able to go. It's a good time to pressure your legislatures into voting on some key pieces of legislation.

It's early for legislation as pro-liberty groups are still try to find patrons for their bills. With the state-wide elections and convention process within the GOP, this is a good year to find some patrons sponsoring bills they otherwise wouldn't have as they try to "out conservative" each other.

VA-C4L has a few bills they are trying push through. They haven't made their legislative agenda public yet as they are finalizing the details but from what I heard, there is some good stuff being pushed. Let's hope when the actual legislation drafting process is done, they will still be solid bills.

The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) also participates in Lobby Day. All liberty-minded Virginians should support this organization. Their organization model is fantastic (all volunteer) and they have an impressive track record of not only stopping anti-gun legislation, but also pushing through pro-gun legislation as well. Our natural right to bear arms in Virginia is not only being protected at the status quo level, it's being restored to a level of true liberty with each legislative session.

I'm going to try to make it up to Lobby Day in 2013. Anyone up for an RPF happy hour or something?
 
post holiday bump. mark your calendars Virginians!
 
Unfortunately, a conflict has arisen for me. I cannot attend this event. Here is the facebook event posting for the VCDL for anyone who is interested:

The Roanoke Tea Party has chartered a bus for transportation to and from the event. If you're in south western Virginia, this might be a good option for you:

We have made arrangements with Sunshine Tours for a 50 seat bus that will depart Tanglewood Mall at 5:30 am, stopping for a breakfast/restroom break halfway, and arriving in Richmond by, or just before 9:00 am.

...

After concluding business, we’ll be back on the road between 1:30 and 2:00, stopping for a late lunch or early dinner on the way home.

Seating is $35 per person, and is limited to 50. We need to have the bus filled and paid for 2 weeks prior to the trip, so please reserve yours today, using the ‘Pay Now’ button below.
