Call to Action: Requesting a vote on HB69 (Virginia Firearms Freedom Act)
(from Donna Holt of Campaign for Liberty) Dear Friends of Liberty, Senate Democrats, Saslaw and Marsh, continue to violate their own rules to prevent an up-or-down vote by the full Courts of Justice Committee on HB69, the Virginia Firearms Freedom Act. Such a vote would force Democrats to choose between their anti-gun position and the [...]
Coffee, Anyone?
The Coffee Party.
