Here are some good resources before you vote in Northern Virginia tomorrow. 

I have not been following these races very closely but from what I know of the candidates I think the endorsements are pretty solid.

Washington Post Endorsements
Alexandria Mayor, Arlington County Board, Fairfax Board of Supervisors

General Assembly

Blue Virginia Endorsements & Debate Videos

Arlington County Board (watch debate)

45th House District - Alexandria (watch debate)

Alexandria Mayor (watch debate)

Learn more about the Arlington and 45th House District candidates: 

https://vote.arlingtonva.us/elections
(includes list of their web sites)


State Voting Information
http://sbe.virginia.gov

You can read more endorsements in local newspapers like the Arlington Sun Gazette and Alexandria Times as well as use google to search for more candidate web sites, debates and other stories....although i am sure you have been inundated with plenty already.

TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to show they LOVE America by respecting the Constitution over a foreign leader's campaign trip #bibigohome

It is ironic how people who talk so much about defending the Constitution are willing to compromise on their beliefs when they don't get what they want. By inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before Congress as part of a campaign swing just TWO WEEKS before his next election. This is a key reason the White House has given for not meeting with Netanyahu right now even though the visit was inappropriately planned without informing the President in advance. This is a dereliction of Congress' duty to their country in favor of a lecture intended to undermine promising negotiations to save American blood and treasure from another, even more costly, war in the Middle East.

As this Washington Post op-ed notes, this is a dangerous precedent that would be unthinkable when Democrats controlled Congress. Ironically, Bibi is a right-wing protege of Itzhak Shamir, who Republican George H.W. Bush more vigorously opposed than anything the current administration has done.


The bottom line is the United States is as supportive as Israel as ever before with plenty of military support for tools like their Iron Dome missle defense system. It doesn't mean we need to bow to the dangerous wishes of their leader and even give him a VIP Pass on the red carpet of the U.S. Congress.

Here is a recent list of only 34 Democrats that are currently boycotting the speech tomorrow:

NOT SURE WHY OR HOW TO DO THIS?
Remember to simply let your representatives know where you stand and find out where they stand on the issue. Conservatives often out-lobby Progressives by a ratio of 10-to-1 or more so if we don't take LITERALLY only a minute to have our voice heard then we can't complain.

If they support your position then thank them so they know someone is paying attention to them doing the right thing and it will encourage them to keep doing it!
OR
If they don't support your position then they will know that someone is paying attention to them doing the wrong thing and it will discourage them from doing it again!
